The most mediocre world champion of the last ten years...

[ono]

for fuck sake Campbell was even on Saddos p4p list at the time of the Bradley fight, he was on Espns p4p list, obviously not now

and all of those mentioned have done well against top tier opposition not just against Reese, and a GIFT against Maidana

Well let's break down what you've said.

Juan Urango - Ricky Hatton. Urango won 1 round. Hatton had flu

Juan Urango - Andre Berto. Berto coasted to victory

Kendall Holt - Was on a suicide mission before headbutting Torres. Beaten Mighty Mike, and laboured to wins over Ben Tackie and D-Hop. Hardly awe-inspiring.

Paulie - Got beaten up by Cotto, Got beaten up by Hatton. Nearly got stopped by Ngoudjo, Best win is Lovemore N'Dou.

Maidana - Floored twice but out-battled Victor 'i know i'm a boxer but i shouldn't be taking punches' Ortiz. Lost to Kotelnik the worst fighter ever to lace up gloves. Please stop typing gift in capitals. It doesn't make it true.

The sad thing is, all of the above fighters (Khan and Kotelnik included) are all by definition 'world class'. By that, i mean they are roughly the best Boxing has to offer in the 10 stone category. None of those fighters have done anything that Kotelnik isn't capable of, yet he'd get a tone of credit for beating them.

Kotelnik- a win over Reese and a gift against Maidana

sure as hell seems the weakest of the bunch

and just in case i've been saying that Kotelnik was garbage even before he fought Khan, so stop trying to make Amir a victim

No he doesn't. 1) - Because he beat Maidana. Out of interest, seen as though you were so eager to point out that ESPN had Nate Campbell listed, let me say, Dan Rafael had Kotelnik winning the Maidana fight.2) - Urango's wins over Ngoudjo and Bailey aren't really any better than Kotelnik's wins over Rees and MaidanaI'm not trying to say Khan is a victim. I'm saying that to me, beating Urango, Maidana, Paulie etc...aint that much of a step up from Kotelnik. In other words, i don't see how you'd give him zero credit for beating Kotelnik but you'd give him credit for beating any of the above 3.
