Reading the forum the last couple of days people are really pumping AK up. I like Khan as much as anybody else but people must remember who he was fighting. Zab Judah hasn't even looked good since his comeback and is WAY past his prime. Furthermore, Zab has never won a big fight. If Khan did this against somebody like Maidana it would be more understandable.
When Ortiz beat Berto it seems like many people just shook it off just because they felt Berto was overrated anyway. Personally, I hold Berto in a higher regard than most do on this board. I was fully expecting Berto to KO Ortiz and I was very surprised by Vic's grit. After watching Ortiz against Campbell, I never thought he'd have a fight like that in him.
Ortiz was a heavy underdog against Berto and Khan was a heavy favorite against Judah, yet it seems as though AK is getting more credit for his win? Why is that?
I think it's clear who they're REALLY trying to push here. GBP isn't necessarily pushing Ortiz as THE guy to beat Mayweather more than it being a "quality" opponent for Floyd. GBP knows they still need to season Khan to make the fight with Floyd (if it ever happens) much bigger to where a Khan loss wouldn't be money totally wasted for GBP being he moved up and made them money along the way.
Ortiz is getting the bigger opportunity right now, but I think they see a bigger picture with Khan.
all i wanna see is what khan does in the next year or so leading up to this fight. if he cant secure a fight at 140, he should leave. theres no reason to be there anymore. 147 to fight a tune up and a strong contender then mayweather.

Yeah people are not catching what they are doing either, sound to me like they don't think Ortiz has a chance lol because if they did, they would be pumping up Ortiz vs Khan in the future...INSTEAD of Khan vs Mayweather
but they always say it takes almost a YEAR to build up and setup a fight so I guess the Build up has started because the entire post fight press conference was pretty much about Mayweather
Yep. People are definitely overrating a win Khan was supposed to get. Ortiz wasn't supposed to beat Berto.
Now, Bradley is ducking Khan, Khan can beat Floyd, Khan vs Robinson fantasy fight who would win. The power of beating Judah is underrated. Same happened with Cotto beating Judah, and Clottey beating Judah, Baldomir beating Judah. Remember Floyd ducking Baldomir after Baldo beat Judah, claims of Williams ducking Clottey after Clottey beat Judah, Mayweather ducking Cotto after Cotto beat Judah. You want to get overhyped, just beat Judah and you will be in line to beat anybody and be ducked by every body.
War beating Judah!
lol the beating judah club isn't bad company to be in

ortiz win was alot better, people are riding khans cock which is funny. Judah got beat by mayweather,cotto,spinks,clottey,tsyzu,baldomir years before dont see the big deal ? now khan will destroy mayweather ? lmfao GTFO.
HELL NO!
I would have liked Berto and Ortiz chances over Judah as well
Khan win was very impressive, but I think some people are OVERRATING IT a little
The fight just happened a day and a half ago, slapnuts.:pat:
Exactly!
Ortiz was getting loads of credit after his win, more than khan is getting now. One thing to consider...the Judah performance/win was the culmination of quite a few good wins over the last couple of years, he is on a roll and showing some consistency, and now has unified. Ortiz win came out of nowhere, and was a great performance but Ortiz has not yet shown that same consistency, I think though 140 was hurting Ortiz, he has the opportunity now to prove he belongs with the best.

Not really . It only seems that way because Khan's fight is more recent in people's memory . He took the fight to Judah in the early rounds where many felt he would be tentative and beat him up . Ortiz had an entertaining win over the better fighter but since he's signed to fight Floyd pactard's will discredit Berto and bring up the Maidana loss.
Khan completly outboxed Judah. Ortiz out fought Berto. Berto can't box like Judah.
yep berto threw more than 20 punches a round and landed more than 20 in 5 rounds
imho ortiz is getting more credit, and he also is getting the wifebeater fight... so, I dunno why you mofos are complaining
This..
Ortiz could beat Cotto, Mayweather, Pacquiao, and everyone else after he beat Berto.
Khan is getting his due for beating someone most thought would rock him atleast once in the early going and shutting his ass out.
