After 21 bouts: Amir, Hatton, Joe

What about at age 22? everyone has a different career at the end of the day Khan has an extensive amateur record at the top level to help break him into the game and has had much more resources and support available to him than even Hatton had how about Floyd Mayweather, another fighter with an exemplary amateur record and was tipped for success and stardom from a young age like Khan? He beat Tony Pep, Genaro Hernandez and Angel Manfredy all in his second year in the pro's Oscar De La Hoya, same thing, was a world champion by his 12th fight. Khan, with his Olympic medal, gigantic media hype and and win over Kindelan was expected by most to follow this path - he didn't need to work his way from the bottom to the top

Not about who you lose to mate, it's who you beat. Is beating a much smaller, shot old fighter who was blind in one eye because of a nasty cut a good win? I think Hatton's beating Pep and Thaxton were better wins, since neither were old, shot, nor smaller fighters. Calzaghe fought some older boxers like Jones, but none were that much smaller than him. And Joe never got knocked out by a number of boxers he faced who were on the same level as Prescott, because Joe has a solid chin.

What about at age 22? He'd not long since turned pro by age 22. In September 1993 Calzaghe was signed up to the Terry Lawless and Mickey Duff stable and made his professional debut at Cardiff Arms Park on the Lewis-Bruno bill the following month. By June 1995, Calzaghe had won nine out of nine fights, seven in the first round and two in the second. At the end of 1995 Calzaghe was voted Young Boxer of the Year by the Professional Boxing Association and the Boxing Writers' Club, with Barry McGuigan's top tipping Calzaghe for 1996: "He punches ferociously, moves superbly and has the best of the European technique and US aggression." By October 1995, he had won the British title, stopping Steve Wilson in the eighth round. Calzaghe's critics said that he had not really been tested. Calzaghe said in reply that he could only beat whoever was out there and prepared to fight him. In November 1996, Calzaghe moved to Frank Warren's stable. Warren, who had managed Nigel Benn for his first twenty fights, declared: "Joe Calzaghe is a far better prospect, in fact he is my fighter for the new millennium." Warren spent the summer of 1997 chasing a fight for Calzaghe with either WBC champion Robin Reid or WBO title holder Steve Collins. The fight with Collins was arranged, but at a late stage Collins withdrew because of injury, was stripped of his title, and then retired.From Wikipedia. So, in 1993 he'd only just turned pro = age 22. 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3

Not about who you lose to mate, it's who you beat. Cliche. Honestly, your Calzaghe hating is just boring, mate. Don't you get tired of it yourself? It's pretty much all you ever talk about. The most interesting thing is... nobody on the whole forum has ever had their opinion changed by a Calzaghe hate thread. And vice versa... nobody has been converted to a Calzaghe fan from reading a pro-Calzaghe thread. So why waste our time on this poop? I'm not even sure why I'm replying. 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3

But neither Calzaghe nor Hatton ever got KOed in the first round. :lol1: Not about who you lose to mate, it's who you beat.

Khan has been criticized for taking on lesser fighters. But at 21 Fights, Frank Warren fighters: - Amir Khan age 22 faced and Beat Barrera Hatton age 22 faced and beat Giuseppe Lauri Calzage age 25 faced and beat Tyler Hughes __ Considering Khan was KO'd 2 fights before Barrera, i think Khan should be cut some slack and given a little credit for facing an opponent, even though passed it, leagues above the other two. But neither Calzaghe nor Hatton ever got KOed in the first round. :lol1:

And Chris Eubank. What about at age 22?

if you hadn't noticed, Calzaghe and Hatton's records are hardly exalted around here either mate Calzaghe did fight Eubank and capture a title that same year though, and Hatton beat Thaxton and Pep a couple months later

Even Limond and Earl are pretty good names imo. That Dane Kristjansen was ranked quite highly by one of the organisations, and St Clair was tiny but a durable guy who made Khan go 12. He does have the best resume out of those, with ease, after 21.
