    both good amateurs (olympic medalists)

    exciting pro prospects

    similar approach at a young age

    both suspect chins

    both got badly KO'd early

    Big difference

    wlad matured and found manny steward to protect that chin and bring out is cautious side. Amir go hire steward, manny's approach doesn't work for some styles, but its perfect for khans.

    at least wlad has a good boxers brain on him. khan is the equivalent of a idiot in an atheletic body. he has the physical attributes, but no tactics, no defence and or course chin.

    Wlad won olympic gold. He was knockout by Sanders in 2003, he was World Champion with 5 succesful defences of the title.

    Vladimir wasn't getting knocked around by bums with no puncing power, like Kahn and Haye.

    Mock and Limond are rocking the **** out of these two. How ****ing weak can a chin be? Mock is a Supermiddleweight with 12 KO's in 40 fights and Limond has like 3 Ko's.

    people were saying the same thing about Wlad when sanders KO'd him. thats the point a boxing brain can be gained by learning maturing and with the right coach

    How many hand picked Frank Warren, light punching opponents have already knocked down Kahn? He ain't going no where.

    The only reason Haye won titles at Crusierweight is because all the best fighters left the divsion, and he beat the nickel and dime left overs. Juan Carlos Gomes, James Toney, Vassily Jirov, Johnny Neslon, etc all left the divsion. And Haye beat second rate left overs for his belts. Mormeck is an average fighter with no stanima, who can barely even beat an about 45 year old Virgil Hill.


    How many belts would Haye have if Juan Carlos Gomez and James Toney stayed at Cruiserweight? Zero, and he would get KTFO twice. Haye was at the right place at the right time to win belts against an average fighter.

    I dont see the similarities. Wlad has never been knocked out. He was tkod by Sanders. Wlad is a two time WBO champ and reigning defending IBF/WBO champ and was also won a Gold Medal at the 1996 Olympics. Also there is a large difference when you are hit by a punch from a 240 man and a 135 pound man. In the heavyweight division one punch can end a fight. AT 135 it is much harder to do that. Khan is not anywhere near Wlad in terms of skill and heart. Also Wlads resume speaks for itself. Khans record is complete ****.

    Haha Johnny Nelson, the same Nelson that kept ducking Enzo!! lol hahahaha thats funny. James Toney has been past it for a while, fact is that the CW division was considered a strong division when Haye was there, everyone was talking more about the cruisers than the heavy. I know you dislike Haye, but thats baloni what you're chatting.

    Haye has not beat anyone. I give a dman what belts he has won. You cannot compare those fighters to Juan Carlos Gomes, James Toney, Vassily Jirov, the elite Cruiserweights that Haye never had to fight and get knocked out by.

    Second rate leftovers: Mormeck gets tired after about 6 rounds of a 12 round fight, he gets hit, and is not a puncher. Mormeck just storms like a tornado for about 6 rounds until he is totally exhausted. He nearly lost his belt to a 40 plus Virgil Hill in the rematch. Mormeck is an average figher, period.

    Enzo who? That was a battle of china chins. Whoever landed first was going to win by Ko. It was cetrainly going to be a short fight one way or the other.
