    he just responded to khan rushing him, he looked fast and accurate, its hard to tell as the fight didnt last long but he does look pretty dangerous

    You're right, it didn't last long, but for some reason, I don't think he got lucky...would you fight him if you were given the chance?

    Do you know Choi Tseveenpurev, Willie? I am a big fan! Do you like his style? Do you think he can win a world title one day?

    What's he like as a person? He seems humble, quiet and honest.

    Would you agree that he's gotten better too, in the last couple of years?

    How hard does he punch, Willie?

    He's rated quite highly, I cannot see why he's not getting a route to a title - he's no spring chicken and with Warren in charge, you'd reckon they'd get a move on!

    you're right willie we know he can punch, but what about his overall many fighters have caused upsets and done nothing after. Do you think khan can make the necesarry adjustments? although his chin is weak :-( . he still looks very immature in the ring and maybe a late developer

    hes a very humble person, and he hits very hard, if im brutaly honest he rocked me in the 4th round, that fight turned into a very good scrap but things need to start happening for him and i hope they do real soon

    am not sure mate, i think when someone struggles to make weight it doesnt help their punch resistance, or maybe he just cant take a solid shot, but to be fair those shots might have put a lot of people away, khan needs to change everything, his attitude that he can walk through everyone, maybe fight on the backfoot and try ride some of the shots, coz he is fast, but am not sure, but i do think roach will help a little, until he gets caught again!! ive just gave a politicians answer there havent i!! haha

    To be fair to Khan, those shots looked like they would spark most fighters. Nearly every single one landed right on target and that's quite rare. Usually there's one flush shot and three of four punches that half-land.

    I think Khan is screwed at that level. I don't think he even rushed that much. He seemed to be boxing quite sensibly- it's just the other guy had zero respect for him and had the reach get away with it.

    Prescott is also very tall and big for the weight and this leads to a question for Willy Limond, do you agree that at the top level there tends to be fighters who are genetic freaks in that they can look very big at the weight and that is what ends up stopping alot of people - who are normal sized like yourself - making that step-up?

    Margarito and Williams are like that for welterweights, and even Khan was quite a bit bigger than you and that's probably the only real edge he had. I wonder is Salita big for the weight?
