Khan's back on December 6th

yep - hamed s fights were hand picked

 

He handpicked the world champions did he? atsch

Get a clue.

 

I'm sorry but Hameds and Khans careers are in no way comparable. Hamed fought, and won, at world level for a number of years. Khans just been flattened by a Top 30 lightweight.

 

Top 130 according to Boxrec

 

Yeah the shame in being "exposed" by Marco Antonio Barrera.

 

not anymore...

 

a shame not to see hamed again

 

I really couldn't care less his next fight TBH. Hope the kids alright and he' not too dissapointed but greed led to that loss.

 

I thought he was making his Las Vegas debut?

 

No, he's certainly not; nobody showed Amir the script - he was supposed to get up and KO Prescott:

On 8th June 1996 ‘Prince’ Naseem Hamed 21-0-0 (19 KOs) faced dangerous, unbeaten but unknown puncher Daniel Alicea 15-0-0 (13 KOs). Hamed was floored in the 1st round, got up and stopped Alicea in the 2nd.

On 8th September 2008 Amir Khan 18-0-0 (14 KOs) faced dangerous, unbeaten but unknown puncher Breidis Prescott 19-0-0 (17 KOs). Khan was floored in the 1st round, got up and……………………OH ****!

 

That should be the tag line for the next Khan ppv.

 

Ha. Taking a leaf out of Don King's book, I'm surprised Fwank wasn't stepping over Khan's twitching body and walking across the ring to shake Prescott's hand.

 

Don King: The king is dead, god save the King!


I feel a bit sorry for Khan. I blame Warren for putting him in with a dangerous puncher, he should have kept feeding him softer opponents. Mickey Duff fed the likes of Bruno paper bags and got him four title shots. Warren, tut tut!:?

 

Probably a large part of the reason Warren was indeed so pissed.

Khan was in the top 5 of both the WBO and (I think) the WBA. He really was that close to a title fight and even if he'd got thrashed then, like you say Warren would push a Bruno-esque PR approach.

 

Trivia question: Can you name the fight Don King actually did this? No Googling...
