So what is so different about Khan's route compared with other "world" champions?
He beat a bunch of guys, was offered a WBA shot and won it.
Kotelnik was ranked 4th best Lightwelter by The Ring and 7th best by the Saddo ratings.
That was a great win for Khan.
Amir Khan only solidifide what we already know , hes a top class boxer , but the fact is he has a glass jaw.
Im putting money on Warren matching him with " former WBA world champ " Gavin Rees in his first defence .
After all Warren and Khan both stated they now want only big fights !! lol

I know Calzaghe is just a slapper to you, Kell Brook is 'very poor' and doesn't punch hard enough to suceed at the higher levels, but Khan is top class!
What makes you think so highly of him?

The only thing i can say is that here at Saddoboxing, we like to keep things in perspective. So although most of us here respect Khans talents fully. Im sure we all know that he's one good punch away from defeat ;)
Savage. Like the Gatti/Ward trilogy all in one night. :oQuote:

The assult Khan dished out to Kotelniks gloves was brutal. I doubt they will ever be the same again .
The path Frank Warren laid for Amir Khan to walk to fame, stardom and a world title is dissapointing and genius at the same time.
But one thing is for sure, you can only sneak your way so far in boxing, we boxing fans aint blind morons. At some point in time your guna have to start facing real top class quality to reach the heights Khan wants to reach.
This started Saturday night. For all the questions you could lay claim at Khan Kotelnik was a legitimate world champion. A weak one but still good enough to be one.
Step 1, you cant question the level of Kotelnik, hes not blown up Featherweight, hes no shot fighter. Not a ring legend but clearly of a high standard.
So hes took that 1st step, real step against a real champ. He CANT take a step back now or all the hard work would be damaged. He has to take the next step.
If getting famous and being sucessful is so damn easy why are so many people sitting behind a computer bitchin about them instead of going out and get rich and famous themselves. Look people hate khan for the same reason as the rest. Cause he winning. If he was some 2-6 fighter who has no chance of a future then no one would pay him any mind. So if he were not winning then what reason would we have to hate him. Paper title or not there are tons of fighters who never make it to the positon this kid has in thier whole career....heck any career. Some have a hard enough time even being the best cashier at wal mart yet they are quick to bash these guys who they only know because they are good in the first place....what should khan do say "no no guys i don't want the money, women, belts, name and pic in magazines " etc.....a bunch of people online dont think i deserve it. Right now prescott is the only one who can really dog the guy, instead of lip service he laced up and whoooped him, other than that thus far he's won, so even if you feel he only deserves a little bit of credit for it at least give the guy that. All that being said i don't see the guy as all that great but i do belive he can get better. Will he i don't know.
when this guy used to hold the same title as you, it's gotta say something...

that times have changed, and that the title that used to mean something means jack shit now, trying to have up to 4 champs in one division, oh yea and are you seriously trying to compare a Khan win over Kotelnik or Maussa win over Harris to a 17 yr old Benitez win over "Kid Pambele" Cervantes? :-X:-X:-XQuote:

Con beat a non-puncher paper champion who had no buisness being champion in the first place. Maidana should of got the win against Kotelnik. And that's as you love to say a factQuote:

Still, Khan won clearly and I give him credit for his improvements and his win. Which is a first for me.
same here, i give Khan full credit for the win, IMO it just wasn't that big of a winQuote:
