Yep so now we can add another all time great time, first ballot Hall of Fame probably one of the best 10 fighters in the last 15 years to the list that are performing better than Khan by the age of 22.

Why not throw Mike Tyson's name out there

Seriously you guys are just making my point for me. The onlt fighters you can name with better resumes are Hall of Famers and NONE of them are 22 year old prospects now.

Please listen carefully to my question again.

If Khan is so poor and overatted and his resume sucks so bad please tell me all the fighters in the world who are the same age as Khan now, or younger and who have better resumes than he does.

And that's only the first part of the question. The second part was to find a fighter with a better resume and the same age as Khan AND who is also not seen as a super prospect and future world star.

Name ONE other 22 year fighter or younger in the world who holds a win over a AN ALL TIME GREAT AND LEGEND who only a couple years ago was in the top 5 p4p in the world and who has fought and gone the distance with the best two fighters on the planet in the last couple years.

Just point him out to me and you can shut me up.


All you people discrediting Khan's victory like it was nothing are just blind haters.

Yes, he's chinny, yes he's been carefully managed but he's also a super talent and potential world star of boxing.
Can you name one fighter that has been given such undeserved opportunities though ? Thats why he is where he is. I cant think of anyone who was blown away in seconds by a nobody then given a shot to get an ATG on his record.

As for the name Barrera on his resume. People wont view that as a win because a headbutt stopped the fight . Should have been a NC not satisfactory at all. ( apart from to the Khan bummers)
How is his opportunity undeserved, he's an Olympic Silver Medalist and one of the biggest names in British boxing. Marco Antonio Barrera needed Khan every bit as much as Khan needed him, that's why he was willing to come to the UK to fight him. Khan generates interest and therefore money.

Besides Barrera isn't a world champion and wasn't even rated at lightweight so what about Khan facing him is undeserved? Who did deserve the shot at Barrera in your eyes?

And besides Barrera what other undeserved opportunities did he have? Was he not ready to fight Willie Limond? Did he jump the cue for Graham Earl and Michael Gomez.

Before you were criticising him for not making the big fights now your criticising the biggest name on his record and saying he shouldn't have had the chance in the first place?
