    I'm not sure about Khan facing much "adversity" in comparison to other boxers. He's pretty much had everything handed to him on a silver plate since he turned pro

      Dont twist my words, Show me where i called him great..I remember calling him a prospect though so maybe that means "Great" to you.

      And no i dont respect your opinion on Khan having 3 gimme fights, I dont call someone like Kotelnik a gimme fight, I hate it when poster try to disrespect other fighters to make their own point about a certain boxer, Its disrespectful to someone like Kotelnik, You can tell me Barrera was shot and old when Khan fought him and i would say yes because at that point of barrera's career you can call it a gimme fight for Khan.

      But Kotelnik a gimme fight?????? Am sure you're a pacquiao fan i wouldnt be surprise, If you think Kotelnik is a gimme fight then most of pacqioao's win are gimme victory over shot, worn out and old fighters.

        Peterson has done nothing.

          From being ko'd to beating Barrera, and Kotelnik within 3 fights is great progress. There are plenty of other fighters who have had it easier than Khan and never get called up for it.

          Dirrell
          Ortiz
          Linarez
          Peterson

          Khan has a good record for someone of his age and experience.

            These guys have not quite been offered the opportunities Khan has. I was not exactly talking about Khan taking an easy route, although you could obviously argue that point, I'm just saying he has a hell of a lot of leg room in comparison to virtually every other boxer in the game.

              Yes he has but that also comes with great responsibility, Hating and more than normal expectation from every corner....I dont think people like Peterson have had the same opportunities like Khan has but i dont think they had to deal with the expectation of a nation, hating or the media hype brought on by been a young olympic medal winner.

                Yeah but if you weigh that up against a career path paved with gold I'd say most boxers would switch places with him in an instant. The British boxing community had effectively predetermined that Khan is going to lead a highly successful career by almost any means necessary from the offset

                      are we still pretending that was a legit win when it was some of the most corrupt behavior since the name nate campbell.
