    The hell are you talking about you clown? Lazarus has already admitted Khan got him into boxing, so the illiterate tripe you just wrote is null and void.

    Yeah that's all fine and well saying you're wrong, but why do you say it in the first place? I'm guessing you haven't or hadn't seen the Cotto and Hatton fights vs Paulie, so why say Hatton "outmuscled" Paulie if you don't really know?

    It's like that time you insulted the poor recently widowed woman with no evidence whatsoever. That was disgusting.

    I got 9/5 at the time I think.

    Obviously I was blinded by optimism at the time.

    Hmmm, which fight is more impressive?

    It's a tough one. I think Khan's performance was the better performance against Paulie, but before that fight I thought Paulie was pretty much made to measure for Khan. Lack of a dig, game and while being fast was not as fast as Khan.

    Hatton's performance was Hatton's best performance since Tszyu in my opinion. Paulie's ability has probably been discredited somewhat since the Hatton fight, but at the time people were saying it was a potentialy banana skin. Hatton hadnt really 'boxed' an opponent that well for a good few years.

    I'm leaning towards Hatton but not by a lot.

    I don't understand people using this line. Khan's game is the same game as Paulie's, just a bigger faster version with use of both hands.

    It's not like as if nobody thought Khan could jab before the fight and then he proved us all wrong :huh

    i'd have to completely diasagree with this. The reason i was so impressed with Hatton's win was because he actually outboxed Malignaggi and didn't just rough him up on the inside as we had expected. And talking about outboxing the boxer, Khan now completely models himself on a mover who boxes his way to a win so you can't really say he proved something over malignaggi as though it was unexpected cos most people beforehand felt he would outbox Paulie

    Floyd Mayweather (Hate the guy, love what he does. He really displays the art of Boxing)
    Manny Pacquiao (Relentless style, agressive, humble. What's not to like?)
    I did like Devon Alexander and said he'd be the man to concur 140 but I changed my mind.
    Andre Direll
    Juan Diaz (All action)
    John Murray (Get's down to work, no bull)
    Carl Froch (Dislike the personality, love the style)

    There's loads more but I really like watching every fighter even if I don't like them because you seriously gotta respect any fighter that get's in the ring.

    Many won't watch the Mag 7 all because there's not big name on it but I think that's a brilliant card still and will happily pay up the £15 and support Boxing.

    Oh and by the way, just because I comment more on Khan than anything, it doesn't mean I don't like other Boxers. I just don't see very interesting threads on them and when there is and something I can add to them, I do.

    Maybe because I watched highlights and it looked very much to me that they were outmuscling than Boxing him?

    I said before, I looked it up and misread. Get that in your head for ****s sake :patsch.

    See most of what I posted after that post. Pretty much sums it up in the debate before. I only watched highlights due to me thinking they outmuscled him but when I got a chance to see the fight, they boxed at times and did pretty well.

    Not much to pick between the actual beat down they dished out to Paulie. I’m going for Khan though. He didn’t have Ricky’s experience or crowd support. It was also his first time topping a HBO card and on his US debut too.
