I know, Gaz, mate. It's annoying as hell. Kotelnik was never a mug and a very good opponent for Khan- especially given his 'glass jaw' that wouldn't hold up at 140. Now Kotelnik is a guy with a padded record who previously held an alphabet title:-(. Some people never give credit where it's due, unfortunately.
I'll give credit to him beating Kotelnik. But realistically, he's never going to go where some people think he will.
Guys no point banging your head against a brick wall, i got a feeling this was going to turn into a khanbashing thread. just let the noobs say their ****, your wasting your time as some people are just nobs.
THIS WASNT MEANT TO BE A KHAN BASHING THREAD!!! like i said before im a khan fan, think he did brilliantly against kotelnik, i think hell comfortably beat salita too. I think hell go far, and has done brilliantly to become a world champion. I think one should give credit where credit is due, he is a talent and now with roach i think hell be one of the best britain has produced. BUT...... there is no but, khan i think will become a star on the world scene!
Its not me thats rating the champs, it was Khan and he was taking the ****. Clearly the 'joke' went over your head.
Unfortuneatly mate the thread starter doesn't retain editorial control over the content of the thread....
Khan has the fastest hands in boxing right now, good accuracy and amazing workrate. Khan is probably one of my favourite boxers that are active now. But I know he's not going anywhere near the top with that chin. If had a great chin, he'd be the best 140 in a few years. But he doesn't and I'm being realistic about his chances and his future career. I can't see him beating someone like Bradley with a chin like that and when he gets pressured he's going to buckle.
i agree with this(apart from the favourite thingie),also his power is not so good at world level. khan has and will never be my fave fighter,but i held my hands up cos he did well against koltinik,a tough but preditable boxer:bbb
that left hook that ko'ed khan wouldve knocked out most ppl at the weight, hatton even admitted it wouldve knocked him out (not that it takes alot). but yh seriously that left hook was vicious
