It's hard to see how he will with the 147 division so stacked, and I don't have him ranked in the top 10. I mean he only picked up his title at 140 by picking the weakest belt holder at the time and paying them over the odds to come to the UK. With regards to title wins I'd rank that alongside Joshua's acquisition of the IBF from Martin. A bought title if ever I've seen one. Khan has never been the champion in any division he has fought in (135,140,147,155?).
yep Kotelnik was a very limited weak world champ and 140 terrible at the time with people like Gavin Rees holding titles. and he moved up in weight as well he's never fought at 140, he was a lightweight when he got that undeserved shot
He is not bothered anyway he will fight for the most money on offer, Khan doesnt care about world titles.
Nope any world champion should be able to bare minimum floor Khan enough times at weight he fights at can't think any at ww wouldn't ko him
If look at khans actual resume He has been so protected and when he has stepped up it's been brutal ko Garcia Canelo He lost to Prescott could argue big puncher yes but so easily outboxed Kevin Mitchel no chin. Peterson. Bang average fighter. He has one gd win maidana. Every other fighter he has been in with is guys had no power not very good or were so shot. Kotlenick Alexander Mallinaggi Judah Salita (who ) Molina Mcloskey Diaz Collazo Algieri Barrera was about 900 and In wars all his life before he took on Khan Guy is most overrated fighter On this forum and uk in general. Will he win a title no and he doesnt deserve fight one when that's calibre opponents Take out maidana and he a Euro level fighter Rant over
Yep good post I agree with everything But Prescott has hardly had a KO since that fight lol its proved hes not even be a big puncher Khan's been protected all his career, all his losses apart from Canelo he was a huge favourite in.. they were bascically cherry picking gone wrong. The Limond fight should also have been a KO loss - remember the dodgy 15 second count. The Diaz, Maidana, Algieri fights were very close .. could easily have been losses. He's constantly throughout his career picked past it names known in America, and feather fisted guys.. If he hadn't had everything on a plate.. if he'd have been matched liked most british fighters are..he wouldn't have got past European level. Remember at domestic/European level he ducked Thaxton, Murray and Romanov.. at least one of those would have knocked him out. It's just been a big embarassing celebrity comedy show from start to finish with Khan...His high profile has never matched his ability and achievements inside the ring. Really his next fight should be Skeete for the British title. But fittingly maybe if he finally stops ducking ..he will be knocked out in 4 rounds at Old Trafford by Brook and that will be the end of him.
The only reason khan got past domestic level is his hand speed, take that away that's exactly what he is. Domestic level.
I don't think he will. If he fights brook next, brook will end his career. If he doesn't fight brook not a chance he fights Garcia or Thurman for 25%
I think he can but he seems more intent on going for the title shots that would earn him more money instead of being more winnable. That said, I think he's one big KO loss away from never getting the opportunity again
If Khan's been protected, what does that make Brook? Match up their best wins and see how utterly pathetic Brooks resume is. Brook is the most overrated guy on this forum bar none. They called him the mandatory king until he got a mandatory that might kill him and now he's asking for extensions so he can find an easier fight.
If he fights Brook next he won't win that belt because Brook will be stripped. Main event Khan vs Pacman Undercard Brook vs Eggington
