    man, barrera lost to junior jones twice... never won against him...

    its really up to khan to redeem himself (if he loses again to peterson) and do better for the remainder of his career...

    if he is unable to do this.... well...

      Some thought he won teh rematch, but didn't get teh nod. Most people here only check BoxRec and say Jones beat him twice without ever actually watching teh rematch.

            Agreed. I think Barrera did beat Jones in the rematch but all people care about in a few years time is what boxrec says.

            Some thought Khan won the 1st fight with Peterson but again boxrec is what matters so Khan has to get it emphatically right in the rematch.

            I just cant see how he will get an inside game in just a couple months. He was stalking as if he was going to fight like Tyson up close. He isnt built for that. He is forgetting that the rason he became a runner in the 1st place is because the last time he stood his ground he got blasted out in a round by a bum.

              [QUOTE=Check;11773908]isn't as good as his talent would lead you to believe? People had an excuse when he lost to Prescott. Whether it was weight, or a lucky punch people had that little excuse hanging from their back pocket. If he goes out and gets out gritted again there is no excuse. He was out grinded by Maidana but due to Marcos's limitations he was able to secure the victory but with Lamont he really couldn't get away with it and another loss to Lamont would really drive the nail in the coffin that Khan was a hypejob.

              Thinking about it, it would show that Roach did nothing for Khan too. Yeah, his talent was grossly overrated by his countrymen but Roach never improved Khan. Khan still shows poor footwork and still has truly learn the art of punching(throwing fast combos isn't mastering punching). Roach is a poor coach strictly on he tried to make Khan something he isn't, Manny Pacquaio. A good coach adapts to the talent he is given and gets the most out of that talent.

              All in all another loss to Lamont shows that Khan is just another guy. He isn't Manny, he isn't Floyd, hell he isn't even an aging Sergio Martinez. Just another decent fighter that isn't head and shoulders above the other top fighters in his division.[/QU

              I dont know where to begin with how wrong you are,1st off he's a oylmpic silver medallist who has decent resume (judah,maidana,malinagi) dosn't duck anyone.No "countrymen" overate him everyone is well aware of his limitations.

              Yeah of course he's not on pacs or mays level who is?even if lamont pushes him all the way it might be a style he cant deal with eg.pac and marquez...

                I'd love to know what genuine Brit boxing fans think Khan was ever top 5 P4P material.

                Genuine Brit boxing fans are aware of this guys limitations and aware of what he can do. We're not blinded by the hype that Sky and that surround the guy with.

                If he beats Peterson & fairly then he deserves props. But if Peterson gets the win again...then he deserves all the props in the world too.

                I'm really hoping Peterson wins. It's nice to have a guy in boxing who acts with some dignity and respect.

                  Let's be honest here,there were plenty fans(weather they are from the UK or not)who believe Khan could be a top P4P fighter..Who knows maybe he still can,1 lost does not mean it's the end of the road..But what I believe TS is getting at is that he has loads of work to do to get there...But yes there were plenty fans ball swinging,just look at Khans pic a top the Bscene hall of fame..Did you think he really belong there??He just looked odd imo..

                    I don't think he belonged there.

                    I don't think he his P4P material. He has too many weaknesses for me and I don't think he'll improve on them. At least not while he's with Freddie Roach.

                    But it's his lack of boxing IQ & ability to make adjustments that (for me) will ensure he doesn't make P4P list.

                      The hype surrounding Khan from us british people is 95% less compare to the hype surrounding Hatton, So you are wrong, the british people critise Khan more than anyone.
