Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 khan wont get no respect until he beats biebis prescott. just my opinion neway flee Briedis Prescott has never been anything other than a limited banger, Khan wont get any respect from beating a man he should of wiped the floor with when he got rumbled with in seconds of their first bout starting. Khan will get respect when he decides to take the fights that actually mean something. Kotelnik wasn't a bad win for Khan, he's an honest enough pro, but then there's stiffer tests around than Kotelnik, and if Khan wants to be recognised as a legitimate world champion rather than just another title holder then he's gotta start taking the fights that matter.

stealthy1 3,964 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Its about time Khan got off his arse and took more than a couple of fights a year, is he an advertiser of sporting goods or a boxer, He will go the same way as Ordenery Harrison if he does'nt get his act together, but I'll give it to Khan in round four Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To think I actually attended a Harrison bout and gave him my support as well Disgraceful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No what you mean about Harrison, high hopes were held for him after the olympics, and he just threw it away, and at the time there was'nt anyone I rated in the heavy weight division Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He was a bloody millionaire even before his first fight, so the hunger just wasn't there. He was a celebrity before a boxer from the moment he signed that contract, he didn't need to become champ after that or even make anything of his boxing career after that.

YOKEL 2,267 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 No he can't take a good shot, but in this fight he won't have to as Pauli can't throw one. he can't take a bad one, remember willie limond, a known none puncher coming up a weight put khan in all sorts of trouble, poor old frank went white as a sheet that night. fair play to khan, he's plugged away and got a version of a world title, and done a number on salitas who was the mandatory challenger. who he fights, i would say is largely out of his hands, his management/promoters sort that out, and i think their well aware of the problems he has regards punch resistance, hence why he's not fighting marcos maidana, who roach said he'd rather vacate the belt than fight at this moment. i.m.o. khan is a very good,fast, strong punching fighter who's only real flaw is his inability to take a shot, which now he has a belt and having to defend it against meaningfull opponents could pose a problem sooner or later...

gnasher16 30,165 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Ive said many times Khan is a replica of Nigel Benn in every way....both knocked over dead bodies to get their careers going,both got stopped in fights they was expected to win a couple of fights before becoming world champion......both have very similar styles and neither could take a punch meaning they are likely to be involved in exciting fights.... The only way i feel Khan will suffer that Benn didnt is Benn had " a rivalry " in Eubank.....at this stage Khan doesnt.....of course he could easily have had the makings of one in Hatton but clearly Hatton doesnt fancy it.... Another similarity between Khan and Benn is the way both went to america and made adjustments to their styles after taking a loss,Benn had a glass chin but became defensively sound,just like Khan is in the process of doing......like Benn,Khan is likely to take a few losses but its how you come back from a loss and without doubt his style is going to make for exciting fights.

Sorry pal but I think you're doing Nigel Benn a great injustice here! Benn fought a lot of quality men, the sort of quality Khan wouldn't (or hasn't yet) even considered fighting! Benn got knocked down but would get up and took punches from some big hitters in his time! Who could forget his bout with McClellan? He was meant to be one of the top p4p hitters in the game and Benn went to war with the man and ended the guys career. The only men he lost to when he was worth beating where quality tough opponents, no journeymen. Khan would never sign a contract to fight a man of McClellan's calibre, let alone go to war with a fighter of that calibre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Halfinch 51 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I do tend to agree with the parallel with Ben but what people tend to forget is Benn didnt even turn pro until he was about Khan's age, and was 26 when he fought for his first title, against the Not massively rated Doug dewitt, Infact Benn was of an era that was low on top quality fighters in his weight, But it was a good time for England as we had Watson, Eubank and Benn, which created major reputations for all 3 of them, but i don't personally rate any of them as "Great" fighters. There, was certainly no one with the class of past fighters like Hagler or Duran, or indeed present fighters like Mayweather. Now i'm not saying Khan is going to be a great, But i think people should give the lad a chance to prove what he can do, i'm sure his promotors could get him a fight with Mayweather or Paccio, and that would prove what? That 2 of the greatest champions of recent years can beat a comparative Rookie. Not much of a Challenge there, but the trouble is they are from slightly different era's and by the time Khan is ready, even if he did win people would say it is because the others were "past there best".

ferretville 69 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Khan will beat mallanaggi he`s definatley improved under freddie roach tighter defence and more punch combinations. As for the pac man and mayweather well that would be interesting to say the least. I dont think theres another boxer out there that throws punch combinations like pac man and he hits aswell. Think with mayweather is he is so hard to hit he has a great defence but technacally he is a very good boxer and mover . Certainly not as hard hitting as pac man but very shrewd and patient. I hope they can get this fight on as i reckon it would be a belter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KingKong 44 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 dont want to upset anyone but I personly cant stand kharn got a glass chin that packo he is a machine awsome fighter when he knocked hatton out I thought he had killed him Iv also been to see froch fight a few time i like the bloke but think he going to get beat i his next fight hope not but think he will Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Khan would never sign a contract to fight a man of McClellan's calibre, let alone go to war with a fighter of that calibre. Go to the same stage of benns career....who had he fought before his first loss ? about 25 dead bodies thats who....for any bull terrier enthusiasts he even resorted to bashing up poor shaun barkers brother russell in a round !!....yes later in his career he fought the best,but who says khan wont do the same. You say khan would never sign to fight a man of mcclellans calibre....i remember people saying exactly the same thing early in benns career when he was fighting for burt mcarthy.....burt was offered the watson fight a long time before it happened but refused the fight until there was no avoiding it,that dont mean benn was scared it just means he was well managed and protected as every young prospect should be.....as benn later found out he wasnt ready for that watson fight but pressure and the dollar create bad choices. Benn himself has admitted many times he had a poor chin but had the warrior spirit to keep getting up.....as regards khan you cant make judgement on a fighter whos career has just begun,he has done everything asked of him and has come back from a defeat.....not many people thought he would even win a title..... As for paquiao/mayweather i only see one winner and i think the size difference and overall smartness of mayweather will be too much for paquiao. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
