willow 53 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I wouldn't pay much attention to what the papers say Khan said,they make a living from misquoting people.As for Naz and Barrera,as much as i hated the way Naz turned out,a Naz in his prime would of taken Barrera apart in 3 or 4 rounds.Barrera was a super bantamweight,and Naz a very big Featherweight,who i believe was the hardest punching featherweight in history.Had they fought in 97 when the fight was first spoken of,Naz would have won. naz would have won in what wolrd not this bill fed load of punch bags to make him look good just the same as khan same manager same old story fool the public were just waiting for him to start thanking allah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BULL 96 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 He is saying in the papers today how he would beat the Ricky the Hitman hatton hands down with his speed, so why dont the hitman challenge him and see if khans got the Balls to back his mouth up khan hasnt been tested yet The hitman needs to hit some sense into khanvmy money would be on Ricky all the way well he is definetly far superior in speed to hatton but then again he is 3 wieghts lower so you expect that he is cocky but his speed power accuracey and condition is second to none but i cant wait to see him tested against some mexicans/cubans cause his chin is iffey that will sort the men from the boys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Azumah Nelson suffered his own fete as he was too good and not many wanted to fight him. I think Barry McGuigan avoided him when he was beat by La Cruz, I would say Azumah Nelson would have won no problem. Khan (gym fighter) Naz the same, if you look at who they fought there is no credit. Knifebar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hell I never thought to say, Barry McGuigan fought respected fighters, big punchers distance fighters and won. McGuigan fought La Porte and won only just. La Porte would have beat Khan any day, Khan avoid natural big hitters who go the distance. Did anyone see Andy Lee fight on Saturday, watch his space, he's a big hitter, came through the mill at Amatuer, fought in the olympics, Next World Champ in the making. He's in line to fight John Duddy (hipe fighter), will be a good fight but Andy Lee has the foundations to win. Why will the English not stage respectiveful fights last good fight Ben-Eubank!

willow 53 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) kevin kelly was a non puncher and he dropped naz 3 times so what would a real puncher have done? thats why they avoided morales like the plague Edited February 5, 2008 by willow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salukixminshaw 1 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 What a cocky little b'stard! I think he's been taking too much advice of Nassem Hamed. & look what happened to him, when he finally came up against a fella that could actually box..... He got some beating, do ya remember his face, Nassem will remember, he got battered! I seen some old footage of Rinty Monaghan from Belfast, Proper Boxing real men in a fight. Modern day fighters are a bunch of PUSSIES! Knifebar The travellers have the best fights! travellers who was the last traveller to win a world title?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Knifebar 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Yes totally right oneredtrim Sanchez put Nelson down in the 7th but went to the 15th and was almost knocked out the ring. He was to fight LaPorte but was killed in a car crash. McGuigan met Laporte next and beat him. I wish McGuigan fought Nelson or Sanchez it would have been some test to see how good he really was. Althogh LaPorte was known to say at the time it was the hardest hit he ever got. LaPorte lost a tight fight with Pedroza and won a rematch with Sanchez. McGuigan beat Pedroza. Stange thing Nelson never came looking for McGuigan! Sanchez would have though. McGuigan v Sanchez would have been the fight. Knifebar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,118 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I dont understand why people get at the kid khan...if its because of his race then so be it..if its because he comes across cocky then so be it....but to down him because of anything to do with boxing is just ridiculous......he has been in the media spotlight way too early thats all...what,do you people think khan is the only fighter to start the first few years of a pro career on chumps and journeymen ? EVERY fighter starts their career in this way...most of us here in england respect and admire nigel benn as a true boxing warrior,myself included...but he had around 25 fights before he met a top level fighter in michael watson who beat him......just out of interest for any bull terrier fanciers he beat s barkers brother russell in around 11 seconds in his 10th pro fight !...i dont remember anyone calling for blood because he was fighting chumps....tyson was knocking out lollypop men and road sweepers in his first few pro years...everyone thought it was great !!.....if khans people dont think he is ready to mix in top class then they are only doing their job by holding him back,the idea of the game is to keep winning not go out and lose before your even ready for the higher class....personally id like to see khan move to a more experienced trainer. I agree with bill naz was a freakishly hard puncher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Knifebar 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I agree with bill naz was a freakishly hard puncher. Bull, Naz was an actor - Hollywood Star who never got an Oscar. He fought 1 fight toe to toe and got battered. Knifebar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He fought 1 fight toe to toe and got battered. Knifebar ive never really liked nas but his power combined with his ability to hit hard from any angle frustrated and ko'd lots of resnable and good boxers but he did avoid people even jumping weght classes to miss out certain fighters.my mate fought him amatuer and lost on points said he was the most awkward and frustrating fighter hed ever fought Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fluke 0 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 at 27years of age and 35-0 naz was at his prime when he fought barrera. he lost to a tougher skilled fighter who he couldnt hurt. i was never a fan of naz, by and large cos of his mouth and the constant 'praise be to allah', but nobody can deny he gave british boxing a lift. i thought khans victory against st clair was his best fight yet, he hit st clair with some great shots and looked in control throughout. no-one can accuse st clair of being a soft match seeing as he has never been stopped or ko'd. Khan has the potential to go far, i dont believe him to be arrogant and though he said he would like to fight hatton, after 18 months, what i saw of it was anything but disrespectful to hatton. it will be interesting to see how he copes when he steps up in class. hatton has far bigger fights on the horizon than khan because khan is not at the same level yet. personally id like to see hatton give jr whitter a good hiding first because of the lack of respect whitter has shown him, then maybe de la hoya.
