But hearns only moved up to light heavy in his quest for 5 world titles...it was nowhere near his natural weight....now personally i wouldnt put andries,virgil hill or barklay in the same league as leonard,hagler etc...yet these were probably his 3 most important fights at light heavy 1 of which he lost the other 2 he won by the skin of his teeth....you cant seriously think that tommy hearns had anything less than a very brittle chin.....the punch hagler caught him with that put him down barely touched him...but being glass chinned it had enough effect....same as the roldan fight he was caught
-
It was chinnyness mate,plain and simple....ok as another example....watch hearns fight with james kinchen,in despreate trouble many times during that fight....same when he fought juan roldan desperately clinging on to his legs !.....or when iran barkley knocked him out the ring.....none of these were known hard punchers......hearns just could not take a punch,even a relatively weak punch in average competition........it didnt stop him being a 5 weight world champion though did it......and thats my only point regarding khan....not putting khan in their league obviously but you get my point.

put the dog on the back seat and drive....whats so complicated.

re benn......if you rmember bill nigel benn was knocked down and on the verge of defeat against anthony logan ( a complete nobody ) BEFORE the watson fight....now i wouldnt put anthony logan in the " highest echelons " of the sport,in fact id put him pretty near the bottom of the sport.......also benn was physically in his prime and at his strongest being a relatively late starter to the sport at top level......in other words he was physically mature which khan is not completely.....incidentally,thats not my opinion on benns chin its his own words that he had poor punch resistance. re hear

Im amazed liddell hasnt been knocked out a lot more in his career....for a striker he is technically very poor....against evans he was stood square on trying to lead with an uppercut ....and got caught.
-
This is the thing,its too early in the kids career to tell these things......in my opinion khan was being rushed along too quickly which is the downside to media hype...........id like to have seen him learn his trade for longer maybe even stay amateur a few more years.....but moneys the magnet of course.....at least this way he would have learned how to have a defence as well as an attack !... Skills ? yes possibly....Power ? yes possibly......heart ? who knows he hasnt had to show any yet apart from the limond fight which was more about instinct than actual heart in a long drawn out war....

Lad ? ....i imagine i,ll be hitting the earth before you pal......anyway....lennox lewis has never trained a fighter why would harrison choose him as a trainer.........as regards excuses....im not pro khan and i have made no excuses for him.....ive spent near 40 years seeing promising fighters come and go some made good some didnt....im certainly not going to start making excuses for a ......erm,asian chap !
-
To simplify my point....i suggest you take a good close look at the career start to finish of nigel benn......better still take a look at the career of tommy hearns who won 5 world titles fighting some of the elite fighters in world boxing......hearns had an awful chin throughout his career........but.....his attack was his best means of defence same with benn....fantastic head movement,good structured attacks....but when the time came they had to take serious shots they was found wanting,why do you think they made for such exciting fights you never knew if they was going to knock out or get k
-
I think your getting carried away with cheap talk mate.....i know it sounds good and funny to say fighters are a "sack of shit "....but even old audley was british title level.....that might be a sack of shit compared to world title level but its the elite of the sport compared to you and me so lets not get carried away with words...personally i respect any fighter good or bad who is willing to get in and do battle......audley harrison had the talent to win an olympic medal,like i said,how far that talent takes you in the pro,s is a different matter,in his case....not very far...........in

Getting knocked out happens in boxing mate thats why its called the science of hitting without getting hit back....but it doesnt always go to plan.....that doesnt mean someone suddenly has no talent it just means they have to compensate for their weakness in this case by becoming defensively sound,which khan never was....why was he an embarrassment ? getting knocked spark out is no fun.....we will see the type of character khan is by the way he responds to this setback......if he proves he genuinely isnt up to top level then so be it......but he doesnt strike me as a cur who will give up and g
-
In a twsited kind of way that the other night was probably the best thing that could have happened to khan.....this windmill attack of his is so amateurish and one of his biggest faults from day 1.....now he knows how easy he can get caught coming in like that he will need to pick his punches that much more....i keep referring to nigel benn.....but again it was exactly the same with him and he always said later on how valuable to his career that first knockout loss to watson was..... To say khan is useless is just silly talk,nobody wins an olympic medal without having at least talent....how f

Dont want to get involved in a pissing match here....but how on earth can you tell what a dogs hips are like from a photoraph ?...the dog might be standing awkward......and anyway,..who gives a f**k what the dog looks like in a picture nobody is going to buy a dog off what it looks like in a few photos. Not the sort of dog that interests me to be honest but dont look much wrong with him but then ive always felt people do their working dogs an injustice by throwing photos of them on the internet. -
spot on i too have been saying for months guy has glass jaw hes finished hang up the gloves Pretty much sums up the attitudes of our cur society these days !.....if you cant win give up !....every day we lose ground to others with this givng up at the first sign of trouble attitude whether it be race religion society or in this case sport. The kid has an obvious talent,weaknesses yes,but undoubted talent.....so the minute he loses he should give up and go sign on the dole queue thats good advice....

Bill likewise mate....i value any mans opinion who speaks with the head and not the heart....most people who are not real boxing people speak from the heart which is why most of the population wanted the "cocky little shit " to get what he got....believe me being a proud englishman im no fan of khans and im perfectly happy with the result last night like most people.....however,like yourself i try to view boxers and boxing issues with the head so as much as i dont disagree with anything you say or any comparisons you make i do make you wrong regarding benn....nigel benn was much more than a s

What that khan wouldnt win a world title in the next 2 years....bets still on mate no problem.
-
Bill did you say the same back in 89 after watson knocked out benn ? Khans career is a mirror image of benns...2 years of knocking out bums then the first decent opponent they met knocked them out.....benn couldnt take a shot throughout his career but his talent and punch got him to world titles......without doubt khan has taken a shock loss and he paid for his overconfidence.....hopefully he will do what benn did and get a good trainer and learn his trade again....if he does i still believe he will win a version of a world title.

Near 40 years i been plodding down there and never sat down yet....same as 90 % of others....that was always our strong point sticking 2 fingers up to what society wanted and sticking to our own traditions.....i know one thing,a foreign managers not going to go down well !
-
Its on Sky box office Gnasher mate. yep your right there , i dont think sky would have been promoting the fight all week for the sultana for free . khan has signed a deal with sky so his next few fights are all on sky box office . My mistake....get mixed up with all these sky channels !....as for this fight being his toughest test so far...id be very surprised if it went more than 3 rounds,prescott might have an unbeaten record with nearly all ko,s but so would anyone who was fighting his friends and neighbors ...his opponents having exactly been what you would call subst

West ham fans dont kid themself about what they should be achieving ....do you go to games wilf ? Sometimes the hatred around the ground is scarey....even when we,re winning !....the trouble is we are a selling club,we create and bring through great players and then sell them to the big boys.....90 % of regular fans know that if we could keep these players we would achieve much more......again though money is the evil....brooking,devonshire and many others were top notch in their day and stayed true to the club....that little shit lampard with all his family history with the club could
-
If im not mistaken Wilf your a hammers fan like myself.....and if so you will know only too well what its like to be a relatively big club who never win anything !.....personally i think newcastle are a very big club,i dont judge a club on what they win or dont win as its clear these days that peoples money wins trophies not football teams,lets face it,man city are about to become the biggest club in the country,what sense is that ! Like west ham newcastle have a massive following and very passionate supporters,they have a good history and i for one would like to see them do well as there are

Same old shit....the difference is frank warren is a boxing promoter not a trainer or manager !.....and tell me a british promoter who has done more for british boxing or putting british boxers on the world map than frank warren ? Of course he cares for money...its his living.....but any young pro fighter with the choice would choose frank as his promoter,fact ! Khans fight saturday is on setanta and will cost you 15 quid to see it which personally i find a joke when the kid hasnt yet made the big time......

Thanks pal...with that big fluffy coat im not sure they look " hard enough " for todays wannabe toughies.....but im sure a few reported attacks in the papers and media frenzy for another dangerous breed will add to the appeal... If theres no height/weight limit id like to see how a 50 lber stacks up for power with a 50 lb pit bull.....its easy to make a 150 lb dog look powerful ...that said,the russians dont do things by halves so must be something there !
-
Hard to tell from this vid,but are these dogs either extremely dense coated....or is this one just extremely overweight ?......what are their uses...are they bred to type ?
-
Is this the dog thats bred like no other ? .... i was led to believe this dog was the cream of the crop in the stafford world,must be someone willing to take him on surely
-
Doesnt surprise me at all,look at the size of a rottweiler !....theoretically frank bruno probably hits harder than joe calzaghe what with him being 4 stone heavier.....but does he have the necessary speed,style and intelligence to land them heavier blows as effectively as the smaller man ? can a rottweiler do as much damage as a pit bull ? i think not.......one thing i learned many years ago....a dog bites hard because he wants to,simple as that.
