Comments Thread For: Khan Conqueror Prescott Wins, But He Does Not Impress

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

Prescott really is rather ****e, isn't he?

I remember after the Khan fight, everyone thought he was going to be big. He looked pretty quick, accurate, and deadly powerful, but turns out he's a slow ass bastard, who throws looping hooks that don't put a dent in most people (Apart from those made of china). That said, I think Khan should rematch him, just to put the record straight...

And if he lost again, then lol.

I remember S A M U R A I hyping him in his sig in his F-R-K-O days, bless 'im. That was funny.



What's Khan done to prove he's all that, though? He beat old, blown-up, war-torn Barrera at 135 to get a shot at the 140lb titlist most favorably matched to him, LOL. What a joke.

LMAO, Khan's **** is stage-managed as it gets, he's unproven - when you remove the paper decorations, he's nothing more than a contender still a ways off being seasoned for the big tests. So his fans don't have any room to talk...putting down Prescott to puff their guy up, LMAO.

Just because Prescott is wacker than Khan, doesn't mean Khan can't still be wack.






Kaizer Mabuza would stop Khan. Juan Urango would give him fits. Nevermind the likes of Bradley and Alexander, the division's real class.

All the above fighters would stop Khan. That's why he is fighting Marquez and cashing out before he steps up and gets knocked out. It's quite clever really. Khan knows he can't beat any top guy at 140, so he will fight Marquez, and Hatton after that. Can't blame the guy really. If your not that good, why risk retirement money to fight Maidana for £500,000?

Sarcasm aside, tim,

****, I'd lay off Khan if he fought a Urango or a Mabuza even. It doesn't have to be Bradley or Alexander or Maidana.


Fuckin' Urango or Mabuza. Either of those guys, because, even with their limitations, they represent a level of pressure and threat entirely lacking from his competition so far.



There are no more defences to be made of Khan, people. He's had Kotelnik, Salita, Paul, all fair enough. Now it's time to start stepping up the fear factor a bit and getting in there with a few guys who meet these simple, fair requirements,

1. can crack an egg

2. aren't too small

3. aren't too old

.

^ ^ Any guys at 140 who fit that mould, and Khan deserves some more credit.


Limited, rugged guys who are not too small and who can pressure and punch a bit.

Not much to ask of a guy being billed as a future elite, is it? Especially now that he's holding a title and is looking at his 3rd defence and all?


Mabuza and Urango type fighters. If he fought even a couple of those rugged contenders around his weightclass (organization politics allowing), Khan would be due some credit. Those would be good developmental steps. Then he can start looking at guys like Tim and Devon.


As it stands, his career is descending into a stage-managed farce. And this will be exposed when he gets upended by the first threat he faces, either because he wasn't truly prepared for it...or because he just wasn't really all that all along, either his skillset was overrated (which it is, to some degree, although he does some things excellently) or he lacked in intangibles (which are as important as tangible skills).

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

tim,


the only reason you're being such a bumsniff apologist for Khan is his nationality...there is literally nothing more to it than that. He's England's best chance of any boxing Glory in your eyes.



Khan = The Great Blight Hope. It's the only reason you pamper and bumsniff the guy.

[-Lowkey-]

its funny how khan gets so much criticism for his next opponent potentially being Marquez HELLO none of the top guys at 140 are fighting each other and Devon Alexander does not get criticised at all for fighting Andriy Kotelnik a guy who is coming off a one sided beating at the hands of khan FFS

You're missing the point...Khan's opponents are all of two types...non punchers or small guys (and Salita is the 140lb John Duddy, ie. carefully built up club-fighter who didn't belong at world class).




These other top contenders at the weight are fighting a mixed bag.


Devon Alexander just beat Urango..,awkward dude, puncher, physically pressuring, hung with Berto at 147, not an easy night for anyone. Now he gets a chance to beat Kotelnik better than Khan did (please don't act like Khan wasted Kotelnik and softened him up for Alexander, he never even hurt him, merely used his attributes and outboxed the smaller, light-punching man).

Bradley's fought a variety of styles and shown different primary weapons and adaptability in every fight.

The criticism of Khan is entirely justified.






And to any little Little Englander cheerleaders getting all precious over entirely justified criticism of The Great Blight Hope.,

be honest with yourselves.

you do have a good point

Khan didn’t hurt or soften up Kotelnik no but he did dominate him winning virtually every round.

personally I think Khan will step up and fight Maidana if not in his next fight the fight after and I believe he will also dominate him maybe stopping him late

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

Maybe.


Word was that Maidana was made contractually ineligible to fight Khan before next Spring. Maybe that was just to keep Maidana away from Khan 'til he's had a couple more fights.


Wouldn't surprise me at all if they conjured up another 'stepping-stone' brand building type fight instead, though.




It bewilders me that people would support this crap just for the sake of it, that's all.

Marquez-Khan is a garbage, meaningless fight.

I can't remember that, but I know a lot of people were pretty high on him, ignoring the fact that he looked a bit **** in most other fights we could get hold of. To be fair, it was a huge upset at the time and it's not suprising people had hopes for him to turn out as something good

Khan hasn't beat anyone to 'prove' he belongs right at the top, but neither have Bradley and Alexander yet. They've all beat some pretty good fighters, but no one great yet. Khan's win over Barrera is worth nothing, I think his performance against Kotelnik showed that he'd matured as a fighter from the days when he'd bum rush guys and get dropped and get tired. The Salita fight showed us nothing, and the Malignaggi fight again showed us that Khan has matured and improved under Roach. I think he'd be competative with Bradley though, but I'd favour Alexander to stop him.
