My personal favorite is Khan v Bredis Prescott , Khan shows his true colours in that one.Quote:

The funny thing is, i have never missed a Khan fight and i don't even like him that much.
Prescott isn't a world class fighter but there is no doubt that he can bang with the best of them.Quote:

I'd pick Khan to beat him now though.
The Michael Gomez fight was a good one
I agree.Quote:

I'm not sure what i think about the kid, the barrera fight left more questions than answers and this sport is a game of inches so his Ko to me doesn't mean much, it's what you learn from it that matters. People act like if a guy isn't undefeated and ko'ing eveyone in the first round that he's shit. Look at the very least he must be a little good cause out of the thousands of boxers out there we're sitting here talking about him, he aint here talking about us. I don't like or dislike the guy he hasn't done enough either way for me to make judgement yet. He's had his up's and down's let's see what he does now.
I wasn't saying Prescott was world class. I was saying i didn't think he would get beat until he reached world class but he got beat before he did.Quote:

To me he hasn't faced true world class, Barrera was an old man that had a cut opened very early and was in 2 weight divisions above his best, but I suppose his name is world class.
Kotelnik is world class imo.Quote:

Barrera was certainly not world class at that stage in his career.
Maybe. I can't really make up my mind on that one. He won his title from Rees who was probably the weakest title holder in boxing for me, and had defeats to Junior Witter and Souleymane M'Baye (who he also drew to). I suppose it depends on how deep you class world class.Quote:

he's boring now. but effective. roach's turned him into a robot.
I'm not embarrassed to say that I have not seen Khan fight since he went over to Sky. Gomez was my last fight and that was exciting.
kotlenik is a world level operator. Khan was a class above anything he has shown before in that fight, so if you want the best of him see that.
If your a general boxing fan may i suggest you dont go too out of your way to watch amir khan as he is hardly the real deal just yet.....just a very good technician who has a lot of potential (like a good 25-30 boxers currently around)
Based on what? The only time he faced a puncher he got knocked the fukk outQuote:

Don't be so quick to bash Khan like you always do.. I'm pretty sure he was saying Prescott could bang with the best. Which I disagree with anyway.. he's looked very average in the fights i've seen him in when his opponent isn't charging in, aka like Khan did.Quote:

Although Prescott's opposition isn't the best, there is no denying he can punch. The problem for him is thats all he's got.
I'm the same way with Cotto. I'm always surprise at how many of his fights i've seen considering a i'm not really a cotto fan. Though i am starting to become one.Quote:

In fact,most people were saying that he was gonna KO Khan. Khan wins,(and wins well,i gave him every round) and people move the goalposts and say Barreras finished. Why werent they saying it before the fight? Now im not saying Khans the reincarnation of SRR, but he deserves some credit for taking him on 2 fights after Prescott,who if you see his record, is a good banger and anyone can be caught cold. Its happened to the best of them. You would think he was a complete w****r the way people go on about him
Any one who thought Barrera was even a shell of the man he was some years ago, needs there head checked.Quote:

I like the new Con and his fight against the Jewish kid will be an interesting one.
Jewish vs Muslim
;D
Of course no one is thinking along those lines right?
Of course not.
;D

You state yourself with bringing up Prescott -if you see his record- is a good banger. Well it's actually better to watch the fights AND see the level of opposition AND see the way in which fights are fought, won and lost. Records don't tell the whole story.

I don't think I have ever insulted you, but you like that (being disrespected right?). Not how I roll.
I still refuse to insult you because unlike the rest of the boys here, I myself don't pick on the women.
:cool:
Not sure what your getting at pal. If khan/roach were 'glory-hunting' for a name on his record then they're not doing anything any different from 99.9999% of fighters. As for Prescott, all i said was that hes a good banger and anyone can get caught cold. As for the last bit about watching fights,level of opposition etc etc, i cant see the relevance of directing that at me nor can i make sense of it with regarding my post. Im not an advocate of Khans, i just think some people are too hard on him. He cant do right for doing wrong but thats just my opinionQuote:
