    Is Khan getting more credit for beating Judah than Ortiz beating Berto?

    Reading the forum the last couple of days people are really pumping AK up. I like Khan as much as anybody else but people must remember who he was fighting. Zab Judah hasn't even looked good since his comeback and is WAY past his prime. Furthermore, Zab has never won a big fight. If Khan did this against somebody like Maidana it would be more understandable.

    When Ortiz beat Berto it seems like many people just shook it off just because they felt Berto was overrated anyway. Personally, I hold Berto in a higher regard than most do on this board. I was fully expecting Berto to KO Ortiz and I was very surprised by Vic's grit. After watching Ortiz against Campbell, I never thought he'd have a fight like that in him.

    Ortiz was a heavy underdog against Berto and Khan was a heavy favorite against Judah, yet it seems as though AK is getting more credit for his win? Why is that?

      This..

      Ortiz could beat Cotto, Mayweather, Pacquiao, and everyone else after he beat Berto.

      Khan is getting his due for beating someone most thought would rock him atleast once in the early going and shutting his ass out.

        Khan completly outboxed Judah. Ortiz out fought Berto. Berto can't box like Judah.

            Judah was a sentimental favorite for most. Most expected a better fight than that but in the end Khan was still the easy betting favorite. I dont think that fight did anything for Khan except keep him busy. It certainly doesnt prepare him for Mayweather.

                khan is the best 140 fighter in the world.

                i thought so before the judah fight.


                only 140 fighter that could have beat him imo is now at 147 (ortiz)

                  Not really . It only seems that way because Khan's fight is more recent in people's memory . He took the fight to Judah in the early rounds where many felt he would be tentative and beat him up . Ortiz had an entertaining win over the better fighter but since he's signed to fight Floyd *******'s will discredit Berto and bring up the Maidana loss.
