Oh, I agree he's beyond British level now. He's European level, just so long as the European is a non-hitter like Kotelnik and not a puncher like Yuri Romanov.

I don't agree Kotelnik was a legit world champ at all. Knocking out Gavin Rees doth not a world champ make and they are at least 10 fighters who would beat him. His performance versus Khan underlines how weak & unimaginative he is.

Beating Maidana does count for something, however. :wink:

Khan is World class as long as he doesn't get hit. :P He's got such polar opposites with regards to chin vs skill.

Masterful Resurrection is taking it a bit far.

It was Warrén that threw him in with Prescott - So it's only right he should piece it back together as he did, it was after all his failure in the first place.

Plus the fact remains, even with all the backing - The promotion of Khan as a pvp star has been a total failure, that's down to promotion...

Warrén has his trio of Olympians to work with, but he lacks a bill topper of world pedigree. Unless Mitchell pulls of the win over Prescott, or Cleverly/Brook move up in quality of opponent.

Nice use of an accent. You can type 'Warren' though. It's only when you use his full name that it gets changed.

Khan's situation sort of reminds me of Alex Garcia, twice turning down million dollar paydays versus George Foreman then later Riddick Bowe, only to get whacked for loose change by Mike Dixon.

Khan's people need cash out, Hatton (if he's shot) then Manny. Otherwise they run the risk of someone in his bum of the month club landing on his chin on one of these money-losing, deserted MEN failures.
