    What he meant was that despaigne hasn't fought world class opposition and already has 2 losses, even though he was an olympian, not hard to understand is it?

    Khan's first loss cam against a guy who wasn't world-class. Peterson is fringe world class.

    Way to make your point :lol:

    Prescott win was luck, he has proved that by losing 4 times to average level fighters at most. Peterson is world class...

    Yeah, because lining your shots up and landing them with perfect leverage and form inside the correct range is pure luck. Khan fans... :lol:

    People calling knockout punches 'lucky punches' or 'flukes' is one my biggest bugbears.

    No such thing as a lucky punch. It's a cliche, but it is absolutely true. You 100% mean to throw, you 100% mean to land it, it is never luck.

    Yes, like the winner just closed their eyes and hopes for the best.

    Jim Corbett said there is no such thing as a chance blow.

    Same as when Martinez clocked Williams and knocked him cold with the same shot he's tried to land from the first bell. Total luck.

    Yep, absolute fluke, but remember despite being demolished by Martinez, Williams will never need to give Martinez the rematch, no matter what happens, it was a lucky shot that Martinez was probably surprised about so we can just assume Williams is probably the better fighter. lets not forget as well that Williams has a MD win over Martinez which takes out intangibles such as chin and heart and puts "better" in black and white, an MD>KO1 everytime guys, no luck involved in decisions, Williams wins his fights fair and square
