    For ****s sake lighten up. Hatton was joking and smiled as soon as he said it and Froch jesus he even says "Am I allowed to laugh?" and "Obviously tongue in cheek".

    The only one who was serious was Khan, and it was a bizarre choice because Kotelnik is a good fighter and would probably KO Khan if they ever fought.

    It would be a disservice to boxing if Hatton didn't mention Witter.

    :lol:

    .......................
    Sorry, lads...tongue in cheek or trying to be funny, it was not, unless you are a bit thick...

    ...not sure what the producer was thinking here but...FAIL.

    Asking Khan, again, makes no sense if you're trying to make it funny...he has no axe to grind against any of the champs...

    so...FAIL.

    It's disappointind that these guys went along with this in the first place. :deal

    Gavin Rees must be a worse world champ than Kotelink, given that Kotelink beat him. Before that fight Khan was talking about how much he wanted Rees to win so he could fight him, now he must think Rees beats Kotelink despite the result of the fight itself - a bit like him and Prescott.

    I don't know who my own choice for worst world champ of all time would be but it should really be someone who won a vacant belt or beat a champ that was shot.

    Why are people giving Khan stick they asked him a question and he gave them his answer. What about that **** Froch id say he wants to ride calzaghe. Taylor will beat the **** outta Froch i can guarantee that and how can he say they will never mention him as 1 of the worst world champions ever he's just won 1 fight to become a world champion. Froch should remember you only have to get lucky once the same as Rees did.

    Strange.

    That sounds more like a Jermain Taylor line; I know he's not a fan of boxing, and doesn't watch any other fights unless its to do with preparation for one of his own bouts.

    And Froch and Taylor are fighting each other; coincidence:think

    It is disappointing for us as fans, because it sounds like they're only doing it for the money, but maybe it's like this:

    I know a man who was a top rugby international and he never watches it now that he's retired. Not even the big matches. I can't understand it but he says he's tired to the back teeth of it, having seen so much already, and suffering from the long-term injuries/damage from his international career day after day...he just watches football now...:huh...

    ...maybe it's the same with some top professionals...they've seen it all already...and when you take hard punches for a living, you can be excused for doing it almost entirely for the money...:conf

    I can understand were your Rugby mate is coming from, but I don't think Taylor was ever a fan of the sport. This is the first I have heard from Froch on the matter, so I couldn't really comment on his stance.
