No, you just like the big-name ones. The ones that can put the UK on the map in sports and that...the BBCSPOTY's, LMAO.
I'll reply to a few points, FWIW,
Nate Campbell was legitimately moving up because he couldn't make 135 anymore, Bradley needed an opponent, Campbell was there. Marquez is not legitimately moving up. Schaefer's been plotting this for a year for Khan.
Holt, at that point in his career, is a better win than Paulie at that point in his career. Absolutely. And I'm a HUGE Paulie fan. But a sane one, who doesn't think that beating a small, war-torn Juan Diaz at almost 140lbs means anything. Paulie was not in the middle of some great renaissance, as Khan boosters like to claim. He was just fighting to his strengths again, which he didn't do under McGirt. But he had been, and still was, on the slide overall - lost timing, lost speed, unable to let hands go. And I've followed Paul for years, so I have an idea of what my guy looks like at his best.
Hypothetically, if Khan could beat the Holt that Bradley beat, he'd be deserving of a big slice more credit.
That said, beating that Paulie is perfectly fine. It's what he's doing next. He's not stepping up. Take away the paper and he's a contender who isn't seasoning himself against other dangerous contenders.
Bradley and Alexander have both unified. Stepped to the other titlists they could get a hold of. Holt was dangerous one, as was Urango...those guys represent a measure of danger that is absent in Khan's work for a reason...and which will remain absent for the near future because he's fighting Marquez and not a 140lb dangerman.
I don't hate Khan because he was "knocked out". I don't even hate Khan period. I like him, he's a nice guy. And I won't gloat if he loses, save for an "I told you so" for his bumsniffing cheerleaders. And it won't be because I think Khan's ****, because I don't - it'll be because you were all party to a Gay stage-management process which failed to give Khan adequate prep for the test in which he falls flat on his arse.
I don't see you defending any needlessly criticized boxers...I see you defending only the big name British fighters...Khan, Calzaghe in his post-Lacy day.
It's about Khan.
