I think Kotlenik will beat Khan tonight.

Nothing Khan has done up til date suggests he is on Kotleniks level.

However the one fight which showed Khans potential was when he outfought and stopped ring legend Marco Antonio Barrera in 5 rounds.

But what did that fight really prove?

Is it significant improvement by khan?

Or did he just beat up a blown up featherweight who was well past his best?

It was worth a lot to Frankie boy, Khan, and people who don't know much about boxing. So I guess Frankie achieved his goal.

It was worth nothing to people who were capable of seeing that a handicapped fighter was being carried to the 5th round so a win could be gifted to the home fighter.

Papering over the cracks if you ask me. Nobody has ever question his boxing ability - and he was soundly outboxing the old, battle worn, one eyed Barrera :wink: It's just that chin. Love him or loathe him on the plus side for the fan it means Khan has been, and will continue to be involved in some exciting scraps. :box:
