People were angry because they didnt think he deserved to go up that fast but why not when you beat people in front of you. He does not have many more challenges in his devision accept Timothy Bradley. A guy Khan is calling out and bad mouthing, but Bradley wont respond. If Khan did this he would be insulted and shamed by everone.
SO PLEASE TELL ME WHY YOU HATE KHAN AND WHY HE IS BAD FOR THE SPORT.
Im not trying to be a prick I simply dont understand what is wrong with Khan.

For me it's not about "hating" Khan, he's just not a favorite. It's like he's the latest over-hyped overrated Brit media sensation that's being shoved in our faces as the next big thing. Everyone seems to forget that he got totally annihilated by Prescott a couple years ago, and got his ass handed to him by Maidana, barely avoiding getting KTFO again.

Did he Maidana was the one I remebmer rolling around on the floor

Yes he did, in the first round. A well connected body punch. After that, round later, it only took a good punch to his glass jaw to change from boxer mode to survival mode.

The punch he landed that rocked Khan was around the tenth round. He had khan in that round and the eleventh but Khan started coming back in the twelfth.

I think the fact that Khan has a crap chin makes him a better fighter. Rather see a guy block a punch than defend it with there face. That is not skill it is just lucky you were born with a good jaw.

Green, it's fair to rate Khan highly, he's a solid boxer with a lot of potential. No doubt about it. I'm not huge on his arrogance, but hey, that's just me.

If it didn't appear Bradley ducked Khan for money reasons, there would be no debate as to who should be ranked higher at junior welterweight.

1. Bradley is undefeated.
2. Bradley has fought better competition.
3. Bradley has gone up in weight to 147, won, and then come back to 140.
4. Khan is fighting now fighting Peterson, someone Bradley beat a few fights ago.
5. Bradley beat the consensus number two/three junior middleweight in Devon Alexander. It's better than Khan's wins.

Khan has a solid resume too and there are good counter arguments to why he should be ranked higher.

1. Khan beat Maidana.
2. Khan unified with Zab Judah although Judah had no chance in that fight.
3. Khan beat Kotelnik, which is a good win.

Ask yourself though, do wins over Lamont Peterson and Zab Judah do much for you? Not a ton. It comes down to in a way how much you value Khan's loss against Prescott and who you view as a tougher fight, Maidana or Alexander? Personally, taking into consideration when they fought which opponent, I like Junior Witter, Kendall Holt, nate Campbell, Lamont Peterson, Abregu at 147, and Alexander with no lossses more than Kotelnik, Paulie, Salita, McCloskey and Maidana. But, its close.

Like you say. It is so close its hard to tell. I would say bradley has had the better fight in Alexander but when Alexander fought Kotelnik alot of people including me thought he beat Alexander.
Really the only way to decide it is for them to fight. The match up should be a no brainer just like Mayweather Pac but the world of boxing is not as cut and dry as it should be.
Thats probably the reason I like MMA. All the best fighters fight each other. You cant duck anyone in MMA. Even though Dana White has too much power.
I am a Khan fan but my boxing head tells me if Bradley and Khan fight, Bradley will win.

ITs just the accent.

Khan gets a load of stick for being over confident and cocky, but I don't think I've seen a fighter who doesn't think he's better than he is!! Or at least say he is to the media!!

He gets stick for being rocked and 'almost' knocked out by maidana. People don't talk about him dropping maidana and actually winning the fight!! He showed a lot of heart there. He also wants to fight the best, boxing would be a hell of a lot more entertaining if all fighters had that attitude!!

I'm a fan anyway, tons of potential and never really in a dull fight! I'll be cheering him on with a few beers on Saturday night!!
