Khan's chin is still grade A china.

Johnno Thaxton is not 40 in the world but 11 according to boxrec, legitimately world class level ? you decide


Romanov is 8
Khan is 34
Earl is 40
Limond 49

 

Boxrec's rankings used to be okay but they changed them to a predictionary ranking rather than one on accomplishments so are inaccurate .

The WBC have Jon at 37 and the IBO's independent(also computerized but with a better forumla for judging how a fighter deserves to be ranked currently) rankings have him at 29 .

Khan is 10th with the WBO , 22nd with the WBC and 53rd with the IBO .

Make of that what you will , but I'll say one thing . I'm a fan of Thaxton but he definitely is not the 11th best Lightweight in the World .

 

SR Robinsons 13th fight was Jimmy Tygh his record was W34 (KOS4) L17 D5


Give hte kid a break, its getting boring

 

I wasn`t comparing fighters, just showing you that Ray was fighting hes 13th fight against someone with 4KO`S.

Your getting extremely boring

 

"nice try" I aint trying anything. Ur picking on a kid whos still learing his trade and fighting Limmond next is a prefect step up, fingers crossed it will be Earl after that and then maybe Thaxton, fingers crossed. Then we can judge, but until then lets just see how he goes against Limmond.

I mean look a chavez jnrs resume.

 

Right and nor did Mundine, zzz.


Chavez Jnr with the pops he has probably been boxing since he was knee high to a grass hopper. So at least with no amateur experience he had no adjusting to do.

 

Exactly, its the stupid british mainstream media going overboard as per usual. Can't wait to see the little **** get ko'ed by someone of relevance

 

Amir senior Amateur Career is nothing to write home about.....about a year and a half. It was a very short and very bright career.

Do we know if Chavz jnr fought at junior amateur level. Then the comparison is fair.

I think boydsmith has it locked. Blame the media not the fighter.

He is doing what any professional would do .... make as much money as possible in the quickest time possible. Look at an average footballer like Beckham who has made mints and compare him to a truely world class player like Pirlo who half the ppl haven't heard of. Its the nature of sport.

I dont blame Beckham though like I dont hate on Khan. Its the media you should be venting on. He may big himself up, but no more than any other boxer. :deal . I dont see why you have to refer to him as c u next tuesday :bart when there are proven ones out there like Scotty harrison

 

When someone wins a boxing Silver medal at the Olympics at the age of 17, there will be huge hype, especially in Britain, not the most successful sporting nation around. The hype is excessive, but the way he is being brought up is no different to any prospect at his age.

Amsterdam, you are an idiot, there are more holes in your arguments than Swiss Cheese. Name someone else in the history of British boxing who has been brought up faster than Khan at his age?

Let me you remind you of Joe Calzaghe's 12th fight, the mighty Tyrone Jackson who ended his a career with a record of 8 wins and 42 losses.

 

Khan seems a decent boxer, but you have to be suspicious with all these low KO percentage guys he's being matched up with. I won't go as far as to say he's definitely got a glass chin, but he must atleast have big holes in his defence (and/or a shaky beard) for his management to worry so much about matching him up with journeymen that have decent offensive tools.
