    But there's still ONE fault no trainer can correct... Khan's Chin.

      Maybe i`m wrong about this, BUT! On Arlovski example we have seen that Roach idn`t help much the fighters who have weak chins...

      Roach seems a "great" trainer with Pacquaio, but Pacman has a rock chin and enough health to face all of his opponents one more time each...

          I do have a feeling that the bomb that prescot threw would have ko'd any light/jwelter weight in the world.....bit like the left hand manny hit hatton with........get hit that hard and that clean and your ass is going down....

          Khan is gonna scholl kotelnik.........kotelnik may knock khan down but i have a feeling he ain't going out cos prescot hits like tyson p4p

            yeah I kind of agree, but I don't think he'll ever be without his faults

            in the Barrera fight I saw signs of his style progressing from the exciting offense minded Khan that his fanbase love so much and into a more timid, defense based fighter. This will do him a world of good in terms of avoiding embarrassing first round KOs I'm sure, but his offense will suffer

            in his haste to cover his chin after throwing and maintain lateral movement he's putting less force into his punches and is content to just pitty-patter on his opponent's gloves, not to mention he'll be fighting one weight division up hence forth which I would assume will only make his offense even less effective.

            This is kind of a double edged sword, because on the down side he won't be overwhelming his opponents anymore and they might be able to walk through his punches to get to him. And they might more often get the full 12 rounds to try and tap that chin

            Basically I think his days of being an exciting knock out artist are over but I don't know whether it's necessarily for the better, seeing as his offense was always his strongest point

              I don't think Khan will be doing any "schooling" as Kotelnik is the more fundamentally proficient boxer of the two at this point IMO. If Khan wins (which I'm predicting he will) it'll be from overwhelming Kotelnik with his speed and nicking rounds with flashy combos and flurries

                I still don't have a bet on this fight... I'm picking Kotelnik for 20K against Khan...

                I can't find someone who's willing to place a bet on Khan.

                  Agreed he will be looking at flurries and bursts of punches...........i honestly don't think kotelnik can box as good as khan can now.........

                  Freddie knows pac has only a few fights left in him.....Freddie will be putting a A plan together to take kotelnik out...................Khan and freddie know exactly what they are dealing with and are gonna put this guy away....not too early but this will be over by 8 imo

                      C'mon then, I will

                      20k straight up?

                      Like I said I'll be rooting for Kotelnik but I think all these years of supporting West Brom have made me a pessimist
