Khan - Ready to rule the World

[Mark TKO]

never thought of it that way, very true - kudos to Warren ;-)

It's Khan annoying me talking as if it was all him who got him this far - and not Warren or the silver medal

Part of it is also how popular Khan is. The fact is he and Haye remain the only active boxers (assuming Hatton retires) who have names are recognizable to the casual sports fan. Carl Froch may get there after another fight, but the fact remains that his last fight's delayed screening had no publicity behind it and he remains a bit of a no-mark to your average non-boxing fan. Haye is everywhere on Setanta & in the press for the past few months, and Khan is probably the most well-known of recent years after Hatton & Calzaghe because of his Olympic exploits & his initial fights being on ITV

Could you not argue that everything he has got so far has been down to his Silver Medal? Like that's the reason he's supposedly had it all his own way and in a way cheated the system?

But then you could argue that it was he who actually put the graft in to win the medal. There was no promotional bullshit going on. He won the medal which paved the way for this route to the title, so kudos to Khan aswell i say.

I suppose

But Audley got gold !!

Even though I don't like him I will give him kudos when he impresses and beats a top guy between the ropes

That's true.

Would you give him credit if he beats Kotelnik? I think there's a chance Khan could go in this fight if he is tagged by a few accurate shots. I'd still pick him to win...probably on points.

Be interesting to see if he opts to fight Ortiz who would be his madatory i think. He stopped Ortiz in the ams so he'd be confident i reckon. Ortiz has developed quite a lot since then though.
