I don't get it either. He hasn't beaten anybody. And he got KTFO in the first round.

You don't get it because you're being biased or because you don't know much about boxing. He's being appallingly over-hyped and over-protected, but to say he hasn't beaten anybody is ******. He's beaten two top 10 fighters in the last year, with great ease. And he's improved dramatically since his loss to Prescott, under Roach's tutelage - if you can't see that you don't know much about boxing.

Manny Pacquaio got KO by someone called Singsurat MK3000 Battery.

It happens.

He has made huge strides under Roach, The only problem though I feel might affect him in the long run is that his first professional trainer for 17 fights was Oliver Harrison who was a World champion kickboxer, Now dont get me wrong Zab Judah was trained by his dad Yoel Judah who was also a Former world champion kickboxer, But the traits from that seem to carry on through.

Now with Roach he is using the Jab, His defence is improved, He never had a defence before Prescott because he never needed one. Move up in weight seems to have helped aswell.

That being said Khan is no Marvin Hagler, His punch resistance is about the same as Zab Judah, I think he can achieve a similar record to Zab.

As for Khan being over-hyped partly, But some people are even more overhyped as some American fighters like Salita, He was touted as some kind of Aaron Pryor.

Khan has incredible atheletic ability and he could be a star, HBO won't risk him getting beat. I don't know what they are scared of, I think Khan could win such a tourney but they are making him look bad right now.

They will have Khan fight JMM for big loot but what after that?

[BOLLOCKS]

What a *****.

[PeloKing]

David Haye , Khan WtH is in the water in Britain that's turning everybody into cowards ?

[War Dinamita]

so they dont want khan in the tourney cause they only want him to face certain styles??

Yes, you should know that by now. They're doing the same thing with Khan that Roach is doing with Manny right now. Feed to him to opponents they know they can beat without a lot of trouble.

Styles make fights and it would be ****** for GBP to let Khan enter the tournament.

Quote from Roach. I'll never take a fight, if I don't trust my fighter to win the fight.
