what happened to jawaid khaliq

Khans dad was a taxi driver, doubt he does any of that now. Maybe he could chauffer Amir.

 

They spoke directly to each other about fighting one another so there was talk of it. Wouldn't disagree with any of the rest. Who was that other light middle who was chasing a fight with DLH? White guy, held some WBF bauble. His name escapes me.

 

Steve roberts?

 

Cheers mate.:good

 

He think he opened a gym he brought his lot down to the gym my brother goes to. His younger brother seems to have some potential, he got devastating body shots, stopped 3 lads in 3 rounds of sparring

 

Yup. Another waste of talent. Roberts REALLY pissed me off. He broke into the ring top 10 and did this despite not even being fond of boxing. He did it simply because he was slick and good at it.I couldnt believe he made all them defences of that stupid title. When he finally made the step up into modest european contention he was beaten by Pastriev who then went on to loose to Richard Williams. It was such a shame as we had guys like Williams Alexander Tak Farnell Stone and Roberts all of whom never met, or when they did ala Tak Alexander it never mattered. Hellacious punchers like Paul Samuels went by the way even though he was unfortunate not to get the win on Williams due to a very bad cut above Williams eye in there 1st bout. By the time the 2nd one came he was completely disinterested.

Anyone here remember Alexanders KO against Samuels? He knocked the guy out of the ring! Alexander was great to watch but his chin was horrible. He also couldnt make the step up and was stood on his head by Harry Simon. All in all a terrrible waste.

 

Totally agree. There was a glut of talent in that division but they all had their own baubles & managed to avoid each other. Richard Williams was my favourite I thought he had real class & could have gone places had he been managed better.

Of the lot of them Takaloo probably landed the biggest fight when he faced Daniel Santos & was ultimately outclassed but I had huge respect for the way he hung in there.

I don't remember Alexanders KO of Samuels but his KO of Tak was devastating. I still cant find that again, anyone have it? Alexanders power was devastating. Cant help but feel we really missed out on some serious action. A 154 tournament would have been great with the winner getting a shot at a proper belt.

 

:roll:





yeah good fighter
very much like khan still have a fight between him and wise. in which he looked very good against.

tall, fast hands, good movement, high gaurd but would drop it form time to time.

his best punch was easily the jab he coudl box rings abotu people with it sadly he was no barn burner nor was he getting any mainstream exposure.

the vernon forrest thing was becuase vernon had just beaten mosley and had been catapulted to numero 1.
but khaliq was going to fight him before mosley and when vernon won. khaliq tried his very best to call on his un-signed agreement.

he wasnt ducked more avoided. not much money in it as khaliq wasnt signed to warren at the time (who was the british don king for a time) not much excitment or craze about him and not much appeal from his fans either.

he was getting paid **** poor pieces of pills and had to drive a ****ing taxi for almost his whole proffesional career. word is that he got more money form this than the boxingatsch :|


side note: willy wise was a proffesional forklift driver :think (the amatuers didnt suit him)

 

After winning the EBU title against the Italian (agood performance) i remember Alexander calling out ''DeLa Hoya, Fernando Vargas, Ronald Winky Wright, all of them...'', never really worked out for any of our light middles did it.

Williams was prob me fave, but never world class.

 

Alexander has world class power. I have his fight with Tak in my collection on .divx. The KO was sick. But then again whenever he landed on the button it was sick.
