well said mate :appl:
It was a great performance but let's be honest, if Amir had fought Prescott again tonight and won exactly the way Mitchell did all everyone would be saying is that Prescott was just shit anyway as proved by his last loss to an unknown.
You can't forget the Amir Khan fight, he sparked an undefeated, number one ranked contender (yes I know not ring ranked but organisation ranked) and he did him in 76 seconds.
I can't recall any British fighter in recent times defending a world title with a win inside the first minute and a half of the fight.
I think Lennox Lewis might have beaten a couple in the first round like that but outside of him I can't think of any British fighter who has demolished a fighter in one round in a world title fight that like that.
I agree that was the fight of the night and he has done us proud. Stuck to the gameplan like shit on a blanket.Quote:

Bilbo. Shut up mate. Remind us why he was a worthy Khan opponent? He was ranked in accordance to this fight to make the win look good.Quote:

You can't say Amir Khan would of done the same to Breidis Prescott, Kevin Mitchell has a better chin. And much better upper body movement. Breidis Prescott was a live dangerous opponent, and Kevin Mitchell dominated him and won atleast 11 rounds showing very good boxing skill.Quote:

Until Amir Khan fights a puncher or atleast someone with a name, im not giving him any credit until he atleast beats.
Timothy Bradley
Nate Campbell
Juan Diaz vs Paul Malignaggi winner
Devon Alexander
Kendall Holt
Mike Alvarado
Lamont Peterson
Marcos Rene Maidana
If he beats any of these guys i will be the first to give him credit.
Come on why do you think he was picked?Quote:

Oh so just because Roach trains Pac and Khan I'm instantly a Amir Khan fan now? You added 2 and 2 you came up with 22? Lol. I only said it was an impressive win by Khan, and he deserves some credit for it. This aint even a Pac thread and you brought up his name.Quote:

Yes Khan has the better technique butr his chin would collapse as soon as Hatton connected and Hatton would walk through Khan's shot's in his prime!!
You know I'm right and so do I.Quote:

I don't know why the WBA ranked him, probably because he was popular in New York & a fight with him would of been good money in MSG. But, he was the #1 mandatory before Khan even fought Barrera. That should tell you that it has sweet fuck all to do with Khan. He had to fight him so that he doesn't have to fight a mandatory for another year.Quote:

Khan HAD to fight him or lose the belt. Fighting him now means we get to see him take on challenges next year. Surely what we want?
The Khan hate is unreal. He wins in 76 seconds and people just rubbish it and say forget that win. :rolleyes:Quote:

I will of course put up my thread from six months ago when I pointed out this would happen 18 months before and I predicted exactly how the haters would respond even though they rubbished my claims at the time.
But it is as it is, Khan is truly world class. Yes his chin is suspect, but in every other aspect he's as talented as anyone out there and has the potential to beat anyone from 135-140 and and will in time fill out to welterweight too.
