    Easy Molina, tune up is no excuse. Molina flat out doesn't belong in the ring with someone like Khan, regardless of being knocked out, changing trainers and so forth. Size difference, speed, power, reach, skills, Khan had every advantage and this was really nothing more than a sparring partner for him.

    Diaz and Colazzo are borderline cherry picks as well if you look at it from Khan's point of view(thinks he is one of the best in his weight division, hell most likely he thinks he's one of the best pound for pound).

    If Foreman couldnt KO an Ali standing right in front of him, hows he going to KO a more elusive Ali, with much better, faster footwork?

    Foremans fight with Young shows Foreman would never/could never ko Ali.

    De la hoya's biggest cherry pick, ended in him retiring.

    He might be an odd ball outside the ring, but he was exactly what every boxer should be inside it. Heart of a lion.

    If Cooper and Banks could connect enough to knock 60's Ali down, its a fair bet that Foreman would have, and Ali would have stayed down. Ali's chin was much stronger in the 70's and his experience and fight intelligence was equally better. That was more key to a Foreman win than athleticism. Foreman was mentally broken when he lost to Young, and if not for last round still would have won that fight.

    I dont understand why people say he gets judge advantage in vegas. Did you not see one judge give Canaelo a draw? Most proffessionals agree that Pacquiao won two rounds but 2 judges gave him more than that
