cause he looked like **** in his previous comeback fights against joke opposition, he was so much smaller than khan it was rediculous, he was blinded in the first round, and the fight should have been a NC.
record = khan quality of opposition = zab (he fought quality oppositions eventhough he lost some of them)
i completely agree with you. you only get better if you face guys that are better than you. but if you always lose to guys considered better then obviously you havnt been learning. its fair enough losing to guys like cotto, tszyu and mayweather but baldomir and clotty? he's making the same mistakes in preparation and tactics and now he's 33 i can't see him improving. doesnt matter how much he works on things in training. 12 rounds is quite a long time in the ring so you have enough time to adjust and adapt to your opponent. khan faced testing moments against kotelnik and certainly maidana that gives him the experience in coming through adversity.
Regardless of who has the better record, you have to respect that both seem willing to take on all comers. Win or lose look at who Judah has fought Mayweather, Cotto, Spinks, Tsyzu, Corley to name a few, and Khan has shown willingness to, shame Bradley doesnt show as much
Elite fighters learn a hell of a lot more in losing clse fights than they do from winning 2 or 3 easy defences . Who do you think learned the most - Judah in losing to PBF ? or Khan 'beating' McLoskey ? The mayweather and cotto defeats would have been the equivalent of a Phd in boxing.
Because Barerra was beyond washed up - this was no Erik Morales enjoying an indian summer in his career - but a worn out shell of a once great fighter who was so far gone it was sad.
