and lets just say his resume at 140 is a joke compared to Bradley's
Khan (Kotelnik, Salido, and Malignaggi)
Bradley (Holt, Witter, Cherry, Peterson, Campbell)
I disagree. First of all i don't even know who Salido is. That aside....
He shut out Kotelnik who to be fair had just beaten the most feared fighter since....erm Jeff Lacy.
He then blasted out Salita who was his mandatory. Now if Khan had started slower and let the fight become more competitive, he would have received more credit for it, as the fight would have at least seemed challenging.
Then he fought Maliganggi and completely outclassed him. IMO he did a better job than both Hatton and Cotto. I'll explain myself here; Basically Cotto made a mess of Paulie, but the fight was closer, and Paulie even managed to wobble Cotto. He was always in the fight to some extent.
Against Hatton, Paulie fought one-handed, and even then, the stoppage surprised me. Against Khan, i was calling out for a stoppage a few rounds before it happened. Total domination, and this was against a rejuvenated Paulie coming of a cracking win over Juan Diaz. I think you're doing him a dis-service.
As for Bradley, you could quite easily make a case for Witter being shit in the first place. Same goes for Cherry. Holt is one of those who gets a half decent press without actually justifying it. He did headbutt Torres quite spectacularly though, and he did put Bradley on his arse with the funniest punch i've ever seen (other than Tyson Fury's of course).
Peterson is a great win, because he's talented, but then again you could make an argument for him being merely a prospect. I'm not going to, because i rate Peterson. Not impressed by what happened against Campbell, especially not at 140.
I'm not trying to say Khan's resume is better, because it isn't. But it's far from a joke, and it's not a million miles behind Bradley's.
Unless of course you really, really rate Edner Cherry, Junior Witter and Kendall Holt. I don't believe any of those are any better than Kotelnik. Witter was fortunate to get a decision over him a few years ago as it happens.
I just think you're finding another way to discredit King Khan. ;D
