    Can't agree with saying Morales can't punch like Khan.

    Just 2 simple facts. Khan hasn't KO'd anyone with a top level chin, even though he is (according to you) a welter or possible light middleweight fighting at lightweight.

    Barrerra after fighting Morales said that Morales hit harder and more consistantly harder than Naz, who was a huge puncher according to most.

    So to summarise/clarify my point, a world class puncher at SFW who moved to LW can out punch a LW who has not shown 1 punch KO power against any of his opponents.

    Who said Khan could beat Kotelnik?

    Kotelnik would do s seriosu job on Amir at this stage, best believe.


    On a side note never have I wanted a British fighter to be knocked out more than Khan. HE WILL lose when he faces one of te belt holders,and the fringe men around the scene as well.

    I'm not convinced that confirms Khan as a big puncher. It was a good one punch finish, but he still beat the count, only to be saved by the ref.
    I think Khan belives too much of his own hype regarding punching power. He gets handed hand picked opponents that boost his confidence, resulting in him thinking he is some kind of power puncher. The safety first way that he beat Gairy St Claire is closer to how he needs to box at the higher levels.

    Khans record on paper looks like he is a big puncher but in reality, how many of his hand picked opponents have been Ko'd cleanly?

    A lot of his fights are ref stoppages, and like someone said previously are more to do with the speed, volume of punches and wearing guys down.

    Im not saying he is feather fisted but he is certainly not a huge puncher in my humble opinion.

    only 5% if that of fights end with a clean KO. Tyson probs the biggest most devastationg puncher ever had may more stopages than clean KO. 30/14

    Difference is when Tyson stopped opponents, they didn't complain. Most of them never even wanted to hear the first bell, let alone the last.

    I suggest you watch it again instead of using recall to back yourself.

    I do not read the Sun and besides I saw it on fight network who showed it live. Khan bricked it when baby bull came on stage.

    Khan has gone to fight Gomez because he believes it is the best preparation he can possibly get before he faces Pacman.

    Khan hasn't KO'd anyone - they have all been TKO's. A few of those have been featherweights, a few lightweights and a light welterweight, but mainly super featherweights really.

    To suggest that any of these guys put him in a decent position to beat Manny Pacquiao is a bit dull IMO. He hasn't even proved that he is the best lightweight in Britain yet, never mind Europe, and there are no fringe contenders on his record either.

    Unless he does a Timothy Bradley and shocks everyone, I see Khan being KTFO by the first guy he faces with power to KO him, because, in my opinion, he is as wide open as Ricky Hatton, but without the beard or heart.

    Baz Carey has had nearly 50 fights, and only got stopped three times. To be fair to Khan, it was only in his second fight as well!

    admitedly khan would be big big underdog, but you and me both know he is very skilled, he has just punching speed and power so he must have a shot? even though personally no, i dont think hes ready yet
