Maybe i did get carried away a bit, Kotelnick is a decent fighter and kahn boxed the correct strategy against him and won. But im pointing out that kahn didnt have a hard trip to the title and didnt really deserve his shot in my eyes. Warren is a master promoter and his one mistake he made with kahn was prescott. Earl was passed it right after kahn henry castle destroyed him in one. who? Like i said warren is a master promoter.

So if you were Amir Khan what would you have done differently. Ok so you would have turned down the chance to fight a legend like Barrera and you would have also passed up the opportunity to win a cheap trinket belt but what fights would you have made instead?

Do you think Khan would have had more respect if he would have turned down a gimme fight against a washed up Barrrera and instead would have fought his tough domestic rival John Thaxton, who I think was a bit unfortunate to lose at the weekend to that 8-5-3 opponent?
