nah, even the SN friendly ITV commentators mock the WBU title. on the other hand, if he beats earl, he'll have to face his mandatory commonwealth challenger...i.e. thaxton. warren may or may not allow khan to fight thaxton depending on how well he does against earl.
I would'nt write this lad off, he can box. He comes from a boxing family in Aberdeen and they are all good boxers (My son fought his brother Mathew a couple of years ago). His stoppage of Docherty suggests that he could hurt most opponents. I hope it comes off.
Its not a question of "if" Rooq, but "when" Khan beats Earl. & to steal a phrase from Stuey, "Khan is going to beat the granny out of Earl" & I will be cheering Khan all the way. I cant wait till he shuts Earls big mouth for him.
I do not give Earl a chance either, I don't dislike him as he and Khan were both 'upping their anti', but Khan has too much skill for him to cope.
I dont like Earl. Found a wee interview with him last week & he was slagging off willie Limond, saying, "Limond put Khan down & he couldnt punch his way through a wet paper bag, just wait till Khan feels my power blah blah... Disrespectful comment, from a guy who whinged when Ricky Burns schooled him also. I would take Limond to beat Earl right now, but I am happy for Khan to do the business instead, & show earl just how good Limond was to nearly beat him. You know me AllyT, theres always a method to my madness Any fighter who disrespects a scottish fighter I want to see them lose. No ifs or buts.
This McCallister fighter has 5 KO's from his 25 wins, the pattern of fighting fighters with a very very LOW KO % continues. This tells us everything we need to know about Khan.
KR, it was obvious from the off that Warren was going to guide Khan to the WBU title sadly enough... Those big World title promises from Warren & Khan were always going to take Khan on the Ricky hatton route to success. ITV will lap up Khan & his WBU title if he wins it, Khan is going to be Ricky Hatton MKII when it comes to career guidance. The most annoying thing will be when Khan is defending his WBU title & hordes of newbies appear here talking about Khan like hes achieved it all... Man, Im NOT looking forward to that! The place is jam packed full of newbie morons as it is just now hanging around in the hope of hogging some glory if Hatton beats Mayweather. I mean, the general forum is FULL of hatton fans I have never even heard of, all with under 200 posts... It will be funny to see them disappear.
