    That is certainly true , Khan will never be a banger ( and you're right Limmond had him over past 10 ) but y'know if he is gonna go after the champ in the weight class above ( or should I say the weight class he should have been in the whole time ) I feel like one has to give him the benefit of the doubt. :think

    They've gone with Kotelnik because they think that's the best opportunity Khan has of winning a world title.

    I think Kotelnik will have too much for Khan. Should get nice price......

    While that may well be true he's still a decent fighter , Khans size and holds the belt so........


    Look back , I gave Khan plenty of stick in the past but in my opinion he has a fight on his hands here and for that reason I'll cheer for him

    I hope you are right Gaz.

    I like Andreas, he has the European fencing style down to an absolute tee. It's the cleanest, purest style in boxing! No holding BS!

    Would it be moral to start a Kotelnik express on the Brit forum? :think

    Quite a shock this one. Didn't expect it at all.

    I think it's a winnable fight for Khan. He has the speed to stay on the outside and jab away thowing the odd right hand or combo to grab the win. Of course that's the only way he will win, because I suspect that even Kotelnik would have the power to put him down. And as such I don't think he will be able to keep Kotelnik off him for the whole fight. Even if Kotelnik is the weaksest champ at 140 he will still give Khan problems.

    Around 7 months ago Khan got KO in under 1min of the first round, and now he is will be fighting for the WBA-Lightwelter weight World Title.

    Hats off to him :good

    I got Khan as an underdog for this fight and I'm a Khan fan

    If khan wins it will be on points IMO

    The odds for this fight (from skybet) are:

    Khan 5/6
    Kotelnik 5/6

    So they feel its a true 50-50 fight, I agree.
