he said hes going to win and wants plenty of big fights in the future he said what almost every boxer in the world says before a fight....i think Limond has said something really similar, how this is a stepping stone to some big fights etc whats the big deal...and does this need its own thread????
I posted it in the backwaters of the British forum with less than a week before the fight...I thought you would be interested as it shows Khan's state of mind and confirms how his personality has changed.
he was pretty cocky in that boxing news interview. anyone see that. :yep "michael katsidis has great strength but, against someone clever who can really use his feet like me, he'll get knackered and he'll go." i'd move him onto me and beat him just like mayweather beat gatti. :bbb "joel casamayor is going downhill and the other diaz (julio) is not so special" :yep
Fair enough...that was me being a little facetious. Your thread is as valid as anyones. I dont think his personality has changed at all. He was saying the same sorta stuff before he fought Stilliov and Baik before the second round and quarter finals of the olympics. This was a two/three senior tournament novice talking about a European champion and experienced world class am boxers. He was already looking forward to taking on P4P best Kindelan, and he had just got past the first round. All successful boxers talk the talk, damn it all unsuccessful boxers talk the talk. Hatton was talking about other fights before he fought JLC :deal . I agree it is dangerous in that you look silly if you lose
Reading between the lines he gives Juan Diaz full respect. Good ...cause the baby bull would have him running. For what its worth, I dont see Katsidis, or Julio Diaz giving Khan too much trouble (assuming Khan has a non-china Chin). Casamayor is very ring wise although wouldnt have the size/power to trouble Khan too much.
dot get khan me.. he says he is already on his way to becoming britains greatest fight..ehh? that shows that he ovoiusly beleves in his own hipe. wot has he dont that makes him think he is already on the way. HATTON or Calzaghe are on the way to becoming britians greatest ever fighters.. and they have been fighting for years
if Khan takes either the Hatton or Calzaghe route to the top, we may as well all fall asleep. As good a fighters as they are, they have taken a horrendously long time to get meaningful fights. It could be argued they have each only had one. I am hoping Khan takes the Hamed/Lewis route, otherwise someone wake me up in 8yrs time...if he follows Hatton/calzaghe
