unbelievable truly unbelievable, Khan is now in the top ten in the WBO, we know how don't we Wank Warren pulling strings in the WBO again, why don't they just make him president of the thing and be done with it, the WBO has always been regarded as a joke title,a stepping stone to a proper title, but this just loose them any credability they ever had.
He is one of the most skilled fighters today
Told ya, lol, i know you rate his skills.
I might have to remember this quote never thought we see you say this lol.
I still can get over how this guy is ranked so high by the WBO after 13 fights, lets all be honest, WBO is a cack belt held by some dodgy fighters, its rich history of great champs included the likes of
Johnny 'The Entertainer' Nelson
Enzo 'Baked bean tin' Maccarinelli
Scott 'the real mc coy' Harisson
Antonio 'the part time chef by day, boxer by night' Margarito
etc.

I fear the hype could hurt this kid in the long run..
With some of the incredible talents we've had in this sport it only takes a few seconds to feel a sense of dissapointment when you finally get a chance to see Khan in action. :grumble:
fighters make the belt, every sanctioning body has its shit - the WBO champs - cotto, margarito, guzman, taylor, williams, calzaghe, juan diaz, cazares and calderon ... please man, recently, with that list of champs - the WBO title is probably the most validated.
HOWEVER, i completely think this ranking is bullshit, but this has happened a million times before.
to say that the WBO is a stepping stone to a real title is a joke of a statement.
I agree with all of the above, there is nothing wrong with the Organisation but this ranking is ridiculous!
Facing the commonwealth champion who has only one defeat in 29 fights for his 13th fight is not a case of him fighting "bums". If you only ever watch HBO's championship boxing you can be forgiven for thinking so after all you only ever get world titles on there, but in terms of boxing prestige Amir Khan is definitely in the top 25% in the boxing heirarchy with that win.
he'll never make 35-0, and as for jonny nelson if you've never seen him before like rooq said your one lucky bastard
Why not? Isn't he going to fight 30-40 bums before he ever tries to make a fight against a faded or untested champion?
you can't take boxrec too seriously. although out of that list i would put khan in the top 5 but with thaxton, earl and meager above him. i think that before the weekend, boxrec had limond as number 2.
Agreed. Don't they have Chris John at #2 or #3 P4P? I know they also have ODLH at #16 or something when he has lost his last 3 of 5... they seem a tad absurd in their ratings. They should stick to keeping records of fighters, and let The Ring deal with the rankings.
Who is Amir Khan? I seriously have no idea what weight class he is. I know he's a British fighter. Maybe that's why I have no idea who he is. I'll probably see him on TV when he reaches 35-0 or so.
lucky bastard.
nelson was a decent fighter who thought he could be a bit flash and stick his chin out. but he never thought any of the top cruiserweights. o'neil bell called him out a few times...i can't imagine why warren and nelson wouldn't have wanted that fight to happen!
Ive done a search on youtube and he isnt on there (i wonder why) my best friend says he is pure cack, i started following boxing a bit more in about 2004 time, and i assumed Johnny Nelson was good, because i used to have sky and he was always on it, and the caption would come up under his name and say 'World Champion', i assumed he was good.
I told my best friend something like, "Nelson, he must be good, hes a world champ", then my mate told me the truth sky had been hiding for years.
He went on box rec and showed me Nelson's record,
Then showed me his nickname 'The Entertainer'
I got the message.
i havent even seen nelson fight.
lucky bastard.

Living Proof WBO is a cack belt and the favorite belt of protected champions, aka Enzo 'Baked Bean Tin' Maccarinelli and Johnny 'The Entertainer' Nelson, i havent even seen nelson fight, but i dont care, cos he pulled a double sicky to aviod getting hit by enzo, that tells you all you need to know, and he lost about 12 fights lmao.
Isn't he going to fight Thaxton next? I think that should be another good stepping stone test. If he can beat Thaxton he might be 2-3 fights away from being a leigitimate title contender against a lesser belt-holder.
Bullshit. Hamed's just willing to go to high speeds that most mortal men wouldnt even concemplate trying. Pussies.
And Hamed vs Robinson shows the potential Hamed had. He whooped a world champion on the champions turf at the age of 21. He fucking demoralised Robinson. Brendan Ingle said that it all went downhill from there.
There is nothing big or manly about driving around at high speeds risking the lives of people around u
