Ricky Hatton Believes Khan Overcame The Odds

[Ray*]

your falling apart... i don't even need to drag pacquaio's achievements here, and here you are cueing up to a different direction now.

i repeat what i said... kotelnik is a good slow b-rate fighter, and khan being a fast ligthning quick b rate fighter, 10 out of 10, khan will always beat him to the punch.
hence, he was a gimme fighter for khan..... is it clear? maybe not, coz you were thinking of putting in a bait by lambasting manny pacquaio..... i won't even go there, and who is licking somebody elses behind?

are you alright now?

Falling apart??? Am here to talk,discuss and argue boxing if you cant take the heat because am bringing your hero into it then dont come on boxingscene, If Kotelnik is a gimme fight to khan then for me i take Pacquiao career is a joke...according to you pretty simple..

Hatton faced similar backlash after being crushed by Mayweather and Pacquiao - people don't like being decieved.

Khan saw more because the guy he was soundly beaten by was a journeyman record padder and not a P4P #1 legend

Losing isnt the problem, Losing has nothing to do with this whole thing...People are just now using this has an excuse, Before Khan got KTFO we all said he would be KO by the first hard hitter he meet so losing isnt the problem even stevie wonder saw that coming.

Hatton was loved even when he was padding his record and been proclaimed to be the great thing on the WBU so dont give me that crap.

kotelnik is a good slow b fighter........ and 10 out of 10, a fast b rate fighter like khan would beat him to the punch all the time. now since you don't wanna let go, that should smack you back into reality.

so what is there to argue about, tell me the names that he fought and beat and i will tell you if i recognise them, can you?

case closed, he was a gimme fighter. unless your a countryman of his offcourse.

So I guess you will give Khan a pass if he doesn't fight Maidana then? Kotelnik beat Maidana, so what is the point in Khan fighting a guy who lost to the guy he dominated in his last fight. Khan display looked great compared to Witter's and Maidana's performances against Kotelnik.

Khan is a world level, highly skilled fighter. He is a top guy in his division, and deserves more respect that he currently gets.

Khan was getting floored and wobbled by journeymen. Same situation as the Prescott KO in effect, just less extreme... People were starting to think maybe this kid is not as good as we're being told he is and felt decieved. I think you'll find this is the root cause of the Khan backlash

Dont think that was the root of Khan backlash, Like i said before Khan getting KO was only a matter of time, People that knows boxing knew before he even turned pro when people like Craig watson were putting him down straight after the olympics.

He was made out to be good like Hatton was made out to be good by guess yeah their promoter Warren, Anyways am off on this subject..people can be in denial all they want about this, Whatever makes them sleep at night i guess.

What an un beleive ably **** thread !!!!!!!

Ok Ricky Hatton - 5 time world champion , Ring magazine fighter of the year , Linear 140 lb champion , and has a WW strap under his belt too .

Yeah pretty ****ty resume .

Ok Khan , predominantly i agree Khan is better suited to an Ama boxing style but like Hatton says he is becoming more well rounded , and the jump to 140 seems like a master stroke in protecting that chin !!!!!! .

Khan's problem is this , the media , he was thrust into the media lime light too young with too much on his shoulders , that is where the hate comes from , Khan is now the WBA 140 lb champ , and we have known who he is for years and have watched his every move , well really we should of only known him for fighting Barrera !!!!!!! im talking on a world level audience

Your right Khan has not faced A level opponents yet , but he did make a good fighter in Kotelnik look pretty bad in his last fight , and has the potential to be a superstar , the Prescott defeat was the best thing that could of happened to him , and remember this he is still a 22 year old kid !!!!!!

I seem to remember another tall Jr WW called Tommy Hearns being a great fighter but having no chin and look on how he turned out !!!!!

Stab yourself in the face please!!!!!

If Khan doesn't avenge his lose to Prescott, I don't want to hear ****.

[jeff2]

try prescott again!!

first off,im from bolton i've met amir in a night spot,not a nice fella, anyway i've heard enough pro khan anti khan **** to last a lifetime,however put me in the second group,if he feels he was caught cold,and it was a "lucky left that got me going" re-group, get straight back in there and prove it,like roy jones jnr did against griffin different circumstances but you get me. kotelnik performance was grand ,but when the ref gives final instructions and across is the guy who sparked you, that shows your fighting spirit...(if you have trained ,and you aim and throw a punch and it lands and has the desired affect what the f**k is lucky about that???......kessler for the super series!!
