Yeah, Prescott hits hard but is pretty average, Ortiz is a different thing altogether. Khan would have to be really really improved.
The thing with Khan is he seems to have improved his defense which was as big a problem as his chin but I don't think he hits very hard at all, at least compared to what some seem to think. Have got questions about his overall ring intelligence and instincts too.
This is pretty funny as I, like others on here, remember Khan saying Kotelnik was the worst world champ EVER on Bunces show last month. Talk about setting yourself up for a fall should you lose!
Fun fight though even if Khan doesnt deserve a world title shot yet.
The move up will be fine as Khans a tall lightweight and he always looks too skinny at lightweight. The extra 5 pounds wont affect the speed.
And I totally agree with what people are saying about Hatton, theres no question Warrens got that in the back of his mind for next year should the results fall right this year. It would be mega$$$. Hatton will smash him to fcuk but at least he'll get paid muchos mola for taking a beating. Theres no way Khan could live with Hatton for any more than a bunch of rounds.
Khan KO'd Ortiz in the amateurs ;)
Was it a KO KO or was it a points stoppage?
Looking at Khan its no surprise he was a great amateur, he's built for it, still not sure what was so special about Audley.
holy shat! A worse chin than Khan? I didn't think it possible.Quote:

Ortiz has looked way more solid as a pro IMO. Swings and roundabouts perhaps. Looks solid though.Quote:

He should be hated, he takes fake wins off of great fighters and then runs up divisions to avoid fighting anyone meaningful. Khan is a git, I hope he gets smashed up.Quote:

It's hardly a ridiculous mismatch which Khan and his mob will be shaking in their boots about. Come on now.
Well if he fights Ortiz that would be something.
Does seem a bit odd to leave 135 so quickly unless he's got weight problems.
Ouma, they'll get at least three gimmes out of tyhe belt first though. ;D
Amateurs are amateurs, deep thinking I know, and obviously Khan has had his chin problems as well.Quote:

Is Souleymane M'Baye still around?Quote:

Of course amateur form gets turned upside down but Khan having a win over him means something.. until it's reversed.
