    Bilbo you need to learn to read Boxrec better. Tyler Hughes was certainly no Calzaghe title defence

    And although I agree there's nothing wrong with Khan's opposition to date, you can't compare those other fighters by age because NONE of them turned pro a "star" like Khan. Without Khan's star credentials he wouldn't have managed a "world" title shot so early or got an old legend in the ring to duff up.

    Kotelnik had a fight with Ortiz lined up but Warren offered him more money to fight Khan. It's all about money!!!

    I agree, but Khan has proved he is good enough to be at least up there at world level, given that he easily beat Kotelnik and destroyed his mandatory. Granted, that doesn't say much about World Level at 140. So yeah you could argue, he shouldn't have gotten his shot so quickly, but he's clearly good enough.

    I'm not saying Khan didn't deserve his shot. It's just about money. If those other fighters Bilbo named were in Khan's position they would have been fast tracked and able to jump the line too.

    12-0 Tyler Hughes wasn't far off. I think his first defence was against a guy who'd only had around 14-15 fights.

    Yea Branko Sobot or something then he fought that guy, that went the distance with Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Roberto Duran. And Joe Calzaghe stopped him which in all honesty was pretty good, although im not a fan of Joe Calzaghe's.
