Aye, if he works on his defence and his inside work he could be something special. Still questions remain about his chin, remember Limond put him on his arse too. But, both times he has got back up and won the fight. Some of his combo's were breathtaking.
I once met Naseem Hamed in the toilets at Alton Towers. Not that I arranged to meet him there or anything. I was going in for a slash and there he was. I was like "you're..." and he cut me off by saying "you know that". What a prick. I just ignored him. I often wish I had pished on him for that.
Tbh, I think Warren has a point. Getting this title shot by his 21st bday seems to be all that is driving Khan. What will he do when it doesn't happen? I think he's a promising fighter but I don't think he's world class yet.
At what level do boxers start being payed FOR BOXING?
There's a guy at my gym that recently won the European Super-Bantamweight called Rendall munroe and it just got me wondering what level boxers need to be at to really start getting money for doing the thing they love because I know at a high level alot of money is awarded but didnt know at what level the money starts coming in for fights.
Is that the same Randall Munroe who's a binman? Seen his fight the other week, not bad skills but as far as I can remember he tired badly late on, throwing baby punches at one point. Still, he's the Euro champ, I'm not even champ of my street!!!
Hes a six round fighter that got given a title shot for some stupid ass reason and then won cause the french bloke he fought blew and now hes one of the magnificent British world champs while in reality Haye and Calz are the only good ones (haye should stay at cruiser of he can)
That's more or less the way I seen it. Didn't look a realistic Champ then and doubt he does now. Haven't really heard much of Kotelnik, just looking forward to watching boxing on Setanta which doesn't involve me having to wake up in the middle of the night!!

Bijeezus!! Take a look at Reggie Strickland - 363 Fights, 66 Wins, 276 Losses + 17 Draws.
The stuff of legend!
I'm a Hatton fan but I really don't know what he's up to with this. I must admit though it smacks of cowardice. Lost a bit of respect for him after his, erm, fight with Lazcano was priced at £14.95 (don't tell me he couldn't have engineered a better price) and now this!!! Hatton man, get a friggin grip eh? Nobody wants to see you fighting Mayweather again, Witter is where it's at. If he doesn't get the Witter fight on it'll hang round his neck like a noose til the day he dies.
The Situation as I see it...
Ask Hatton how it feels
Ask Hatton how it feels to drink himself into a depression because he could not live up to expectations of his people
Have you got a source for that claim?
Damnit! Sorry Nicky, just noticed you covered that too!
Not to mention on the slow mo it looked like the punch did not connect...lol.
Don't tell me you're one of these fools who believe the wrestling is real?!?
Nice to hear some respect for Joe from across the pond. Whenever I hear someone diss Joe I usually ask them to watch the Lacy & Kessler fights then re-evaluate. The doubters are gonna get a surprise come the 19th of April.
U would of got knocked fuckin out thats why lol
Dont mistake the weight if he threw a punch you would be
talking in double dutch mate...
Doesn't bother me, I've been knocked sparko before. I would have just loved to have planted one on him cos he was being so cocksure!
I've heard that the main reason the Guzman v Arthur fight is off is because they didn't want to go head to head with the Zelenhoff v Hartley super-fight. I think Setanta have also just penned a deal to show the fight live.
