He's in a division with the likes of Alexander, Bradley and Ortiz......but many experts regard him as the most talented of them all. Yet you think he's a fighter of average ability? If he's a fighter of 'average' ability, then with that dog awful chin he won't even come close to being the best of 140. His 'average' ability should fail to protect his chin against the banger in Maidana. And if he does manage to scrape past that test, then the 'average' Khan will surely be exposed by Alexander or Bradley. Guess we'll have to see. Because there's no way with an 'average' ability, can he emerge as the number one guy in that division. Oh, and his 'average' power was bizzarely enough to stop a Paulie Malignaggi, the same Paulie Malignaggi who had never been convincingly stopped before.
It's like the quality has declined over time. Old - New Floyd Mayweather Jr - Amir Khan Miguel Cotto - Devon Alexander Kostya Tszyu - Tim Bradley Ricky Hatton - Marcos Maidana Zab Judah - Victor Ortiz
Yeah but put it this way. It was the first round, there was obviously going to be some nerves, and it was pretty much the first punch it took, he probably, like most people, underestimated Prescott's power. It's not as if he can't take jabs generally.
Dude, I think you're under-appreciating the talent of today's 140 division. Those guys (Alexander, Bradley, Maidana, Khan and Ortiz), haven't even matured into their best yet.
