Will a Victory Tomorrow Gain Khan Respect?

if he does win it would gain him some credibility, more than anything because he will have been in there against a very good fighter who can punch. thats the only thing khan hasn't done so far. hes been in with many fighters but never a big hitter (relatively speaking) like kotelnik. kotelnik is also a very good pro, hes tough, durable, will see khan as being a springboard to bigger fights at 140, has good am experience and knows that against khan he will always have a punchers chance. imo if he times the right hand over the top while khan is coming in, then we may well see the baby giraffe again

against a guy who has like 20 losses hell no he aint getting any respect! fight at least victor ortiz and maybe then he can get a tiny bit of respect. beating a old ass barrera and pretending to be pacquiao wont earn him shit! Wow you are dumb. Kotelnik is a very good fighter with only two defeats. He beat the man, who made Ortiz quit. Red K.

I will admit that I too have always thought that Amir Khan was not quite deserving of the attention that was brought to the early stages of his career. For a while now, however, I have felt that he has developed an entertaining style of boxing - and it seems now that he is being tested more. Will a victory tomorrow gain Amir Khan respect in the eyes of his critics? If he wins tomorrow, can you see him going on to become a notable boxer - if not a legend? I will reserve my own opinions for a while longer I think...Sometimes I feel like I really don't know what to make of him - Maybe it's his association with Frank Warren that makes me feel uneasy toward him. Time will tell - I'm looking forward to tomorrow's fight. khan should get a little respect since kotelnik beat maidana who beat ortiz

Real boxing fans will give him respect. Haters and juvenile posters will never give him any.

My trainer believes that Khan will win on points - I can't say I'm all too convinced right now. I agree with you though that it will only gain him respect with the real boxing fans. Haters will always be haters. Too true....I think he will win on points...might be a few twists n turns in the fight tho....wld be supprised if he managed to knock out kotelnik tho....i do believe khan carries alot of power tho...and with that speed..its gona kill

The problem with khan is people ACTUALLY hate him...its crazy... But i will say he will gain respect from the REAL boxing fans... But hes still going to get critisized by all the haters and people that dislike him... I alrdy got respect for him, hes young and hes with the best trainer and boxer he could be with right now....hes got a good career ahead of him and i hope he wins tomorrow night, and i hope theres no cuts or anything that will ruin the fight or give people more excuses like how "barrera would of won" lol...

I won't say that I don't 'respect' him, because I do respect him - I'm just one of the farthest things from a fan one could imagine. I see him getting KOd 9-12. I hope he proves me wrong.
