    What's the rush for Khan to step up and fight a 'world class' fighter? He isn't ready for that because IMO, he isn't the finished article yet.

    He looked good tonight. He beat a tough opponent, and boxed beautifully IMO. The improvement under Roach was there for all to see, but it needs more time. He's 20 odd years old and this was his 22nd fight. By rights he shouldn't be a world champion yet.

    So yes, expect the soft as **** mandatories, and Warren milking the goat for a while but fuck em. Khan deserves to hold onto that belt until he feels ready to put it on the line against someone who's worth a damn because deep down he knows he ain't ready for the elite stage yet. IMO, he's still a work in progress.

    It's Khan's night tonight. Leave him be.

      Nothing about him was world class just a carefully selected product of the Warren regime.

        Lets have a look at the linage of his "WORLD TITLE"

        M'baye > Balbi for vacant title IN THE UK

        Reese > M'baye IN THE UK

        Kotelnik > Reese IN THE UK

        His belt is nothing more than a re-branded Commonwealth belt.


        Exactly, i actually feel sorry for these people that think he is a World Class fighter, he was a decent good fighter but not World Class.

            Khan did say that he felt Kotelnik was not only the worst world champion in the division or any division actually, he thought Kotelnik was the worst world champion in boxing history.

            I don't quite agree with it but those were his own words.

                You should watch another sport if you think Kotelnik is at European level.

                    And there you have it :lol:

                    He "proves everyone wrong" by defeating the worst world champion he can find.
