Khan's resume?

[oldhammad]

How does it look to you?

Its getting a lot better for sure, with names like Barrera, Kotelnik and Salita on it. I know Salita's not the greatest fighter, but someone with a recored of 30 wins with no defeats cant be that bad, despite not having a notable name on there (apart from maybe Rocky Martinez?)

When he was fighting for the commonwealth titles, he was fighting people who were experienced, like Gary St. Clair and Willie Limond - and I know they're not household names but when they've barely lost they are good fights for someone at Khan's stage in his career when he fought them.

The he fought Prescott, who he got KTFO'd against, but went on to beat Barrera just two fights after. Now I know Barrera was cut and is old, but Khan still looked good in defeating him.

Then Kotelnik, who he comfortably beat, and then went onto to dispatch Salita.

I'm not a Khan nuthugger, in fact I thought he'd lose to Barrera, but I don't think its as padded as many say.

As for what's next, I'd like a fight with either Maidana or Marquez. Marquez would be a great technical fight, and he'd get great advice from Pacquiao, and with Maidana he'd have to be very careful but, I think he's far too skilled to beat him.

Khan has a really good resume. I was telling my friends last night how good his resume is looking already and he is still very young. At this stage there are certainly not many boxers who have such a great resume like Khan right now. I think he can only improve and i've never been a fan of him but i have to pay him his duties he's looking really sharp out there and dangerous with the more fights he gets!

its a good record for a 22yr old, not the best but not as bad people like to make out.

For a 22 year old it's ok.

For a world champion its very poor.

He has 2 good wins on his resume, Kotelnik and Graham Earl.

It will get better and hopefully it won't be long before he jumps ship to Bob Arum.

The kid is 22 how can anyone call his record padded? What 22 yr old fighters are out there with better resumes?

I was never convinced that Khan was going to be a world beater, and the Prescott fight seemed to confirm that, but credit where it's due, he has done everything asked of him since and done it well. Maybe he will develop into a genuine world class fighter, he seems to be doing everything right at the moment.

Agree, but maybe I'd like to see him go to Golden Boy.

For a 22 year old british fighter it has to be on par if not better than Naz's resume, Hatton has to have the worst record even at 26 years old, Calzaghe's isnt that much at the same age, And Haye was still a novice at 22 so go figure.

To be fair - Kristjansen, Barrera, Gomez, ***an >>>> Earl

Gomez/Limmond were good wins, as were Barrera, Salita and St Calair
