    Shouldn't this type of comment be followed by (no homo) so people don't get wrong idea?

    thats a good point. I just like to see guys avenge losses. These are my rankings at 140

    1. Bradley
    2. Khan
    3. Alexander
    4. Kotelnik
    5. Maidana
    6. Ortiz
    7. Urango
    8. Peterson
    9. Mabuza
    10. Judah
    11. Mathysse
    12. McCloskey
    13. Julio Diaz
    14. Herrera
    15. Coleman


    Ortiz is the fight I would like to see but it makes no sense in the UK so will right that off. I always liked the Peterson fight as its great prep for Bradley/Alexander. I would not be disapointed if its McCloskey but I think it could be a bigger and more competative fight in a years time.

    I am saying Prescott in terms of PPV sales.

    Replace Judah with Katsidis and your spot on.

    I wonder what GBP do with the undercard to. You think they would have kept Macklin in the UK.

    Judah is fighting in march for the IBF belt that fight I think will be made in the summer.

    I know it was no fluke hence the reason I said

    "The casual fans often fail to realise that boxing is a 2 horse race and a single punch can end things. " I disagree though that Prescott would win every time. Prescott got their first. Presoctt proved shortly after he doesn't have a great chin himself. It was the pinnacle of his career landing that punch on Khan at a time when Khan was over confident, mis guided and short of defense. What I am saying is that right now if they face each other Khan will have too much for him. There is always a chance for prescott as there is for any boxer who successfully lands on Khan's chin. The difference is it's harder to land on now thanks to Roach. When it does land he is not as weakend as he normally would be. It will be fun watching Khan for the rest of his career though as some technicians might be able to work him better once they can get to him. I anticipate many exciting fights with Khan in the future so I hope he doesn't retire too soon.

    Don't be such a knob.

    Khan's improved out of sight since then and Prescott hasn't done anything.

    Now run along and get back to David Haye, he's just about ready for you again.

    :hi:

    That seems to be at odds with the position you've taken other times on here, calling for substance over sales. Like when Andy Lee was mooted as a possible Martinez opponent because he could draw a crowd, and of course the infamous Haye/Harrison outrage.
