    Montiel was also green back then. Green enough for an old wiley vet to outpoint him on experience alone.

    Nobody's taking anything away from Johnson, he won the fight, but Montiel was green.
    The silly thing is, I remember a while ago you were ****tin on Montiel for this loss.

      who here has actually seen Montiel's fights from back then? I feel theres just a lot of speculation going on right now. Age is NOT any way to determin a fighters prime(at least not alone).

      now, I never got the impression that Montiel was a fighter that has been going downhill the last few years....if anything he seems to have gotten better. so that kind of points to him not being prime against Too Sharp. but without having seen Montiel at fights that early in his career, I dont think its fair to actually say that.

      age and how pretty your record is is not a way to judge if a guy is prime or not.

            Khan might not be prime yet. Who knows, he might still develop into a more complete fighter.

            Well just have to wait and see.

                Its a mess cuz' you post here.

                Khan is 2 years away from being ktfo in the first round. Guys reach their prime in their late 20's early 30's.

                    not so sure about that. someone like Benitez was prime at about 23, but meanwhile someone like Bernard Hopkins wasnt prime until he was about 32.

                    really depends on the fighter in question.

                      That loss was probably the best thing that happen to Kochulito. Some times a loss is all you need to get your sht together.
