    Bradley was the man at 140lb which is why Khan was chasing him. Bradley went up to take on Manny and khan then lost to Garcia. So no.

    Khan didn't "duck" Bradley at 140, Bradley turned down a career high payday.

    Anyone that thinks Khan doesn't have an impressive record, especially at 140, is setting the bar extremely high.

    Kotelnik, Paulie, Maidana, Zab, Peterson (debatable loss). That's some seriously impressive world-class form in my book.

    Khan did not duck Bradley but was chasing Tim because he was the man at the weight after Bradley had beaten Devon Alexander.

    Kotelnik - easiest World champion to beat at the time- FACT.
    Pauli - Decent fighter, haven't they all beaten Pauli though?
    Maidana - Best win of Khan's career by a mile. Nearly managed to lose it in the 10th though.
    Peterson- a loss is a loss! Are we gonna start counting "debatable losses" now are we? Besides, it's not the fact he lost, it's the fact he went into the fight thinking it was an easy fight and talking of upcoming bouts after he's beat Peterson. So even if he scraped a win, it would be classed as a disappointing performance because it was supposed to be so easy.
    He's shit , and that's that.

    Well, as I said, some fans obviously set the bar far higher than me. Only a seriously good world-class fighter would beat that mob (IMO).

    I think Khan beat Peterson, so it's no different than you reasoning that he was lucky to get through the 10th round against Maidana. And Kotelnik was underrated because he wasn't American.

    The Alexander win is the best by a mile. The performance was excellent.

    If he had beaten Alexander before Bradley did then that would have meant he was the man at 140lb.

    When he beat Maidana , it was a World title fight between 2 of the top 5 or 6 in that division at the time.
    When he beat Alexander, Alexander had already reached his limit and had been exposed , for want of a better word. It was a fight where both fighters were probably struggling to be in the top 10 of that division at the time. Yes , Khan boxed Alexander's ears off, but Alexander was shite!

    Have to agree with Primo as Devon had just lost to Porter.
