    I am a world champion and the best of all the world champions,” Kotelnik said on Setanta Sports News. “I will fight all the best fighters in my weight, but Khan has not done that.

    ”I am confident I will win this fight.
    ”Khan is always talking a lot and I will beat him and that will be my answer.”

    Junior Witter says that Kotelnik should win easy

    thats good enough for me

    dont think Khan has proven he is good enough to mix it at this level

    the Barrera win was all smoke and mirrors in the circumatances

    apart from that

    Willie Limond had him beat - and failed to captilise - enough though the count should have been shorter and counted Khan out

    and he was KO'd by Prescott

    Freddie Roach and LA and sparring Pac - might have brought about improvement but it will need to have for him to have any realistic chance

    this guy is solid and strong and world class

    if he can push Witter to the wire - I predict he will stop Khan in just a few rounds

    he is a hype job - and its been proven

    but they are trying to gloss over that

    but the truth will come out again here I feel

    I think part of Witter's difficulty with Kotelnik was that he didn't show up switched on. Witter's very inconsistant, a touch of the Danny Williams about him.
    If we discount levels, I think Khan stylistically matches up better against Kotelnik than witter did and I think if he fights negatively and stays on the outside he could win a decision. Of course the chin factor may well come into play, I hope it does. I want Khan to lose this, I think it's a ****ing disgrace that he's getting a title shot after ducking the likes of Thaxton and that farcical should've-been-a-no-constest Barrera fight. He's been handed it on a plate. But that's just me being racist of course.

    Nope. Witter has to be motivated for the big bouts. Kotelnik was a nothing fight. When you put a name infront of Witter he performs and shines. When its a nobody and his marking time he looses interest. Theres no comparison between him and that cup cake Danny Williams.
