Cant find anywhere to download the Khan fight. Watched the De La Hoya fight though, it was just as one sided as Hattons fight last week.
Would love to see Hatton v De La Hoya at Wembley for both of their retirement fights.

| Great performance by khan i think he will win the world title eventually. I think he'll win it in the next 2 years and if he fights prescott again he won't lose v him again he won't make the same mistake as he did by trying to knock him out quickly .I can't stand how people in the past and still do critisise khan by saying he only fights rubbish boxers he has fought some good fighters it was just that khan made them look bad by destroying them.

I'm surprised that De La Hoya lost so easily. They say a good big un will always beat a good little un, but obviously that's not true. It's a shame for a great fighter like Hoya to go out that way, but they always want one more fight.

Dear me, talk about being swallowed up by the Frank Warren/Sky hype machine.
Answer me this, if Khan was from Birmingham or London would this none event even get a mention on here? I think not.
Trouble with Khan is that all his fights have been picked for him against no marks due to the amount of time and money invested by Warren. Khan is wandering around wearing a £100k Jacob and Co watch and he's achieved precisely nothing .
If he was a proper boxer he would have got up after the battering he took from Prescott and demanded a rematch. He didn't, he took the easy option against a no mark and any respect most folk might have had for him was lost.

You're right, but this is boxing. He'll now be nurtured back into his winning ways without too much risk. It's all about the end game and winning a world title.

I know this is early doors but that knockdown in his may have significantly improved Khan. His defence work in this fight was very impressive, and I dont think Ive seen him punch with such accuracy before. The poor 'victims' head was rolling around his neck. Felt abit sorry for him at the end, I think the towel caught his attention and Khan put a few hard punches into him. Surprised the fight wasnt stopped earlier, the ref was looking very closely.

Fights like this are pointless for improvement though, to be the best you have to fight the best, was this guy one of the best? It was like watching a bull fight with a blind, 3 legged bull.
Would his defense now be good enough to take on Prescott and drop him like he dropped Khan? No need to answer that one.
I read an article Khan was quoted in July (below), he reckoned he could drop Pacquiao! The guy is a joke IMO. Frank will be hoping he can get on the undercard of some more big pay per views or he'll never recoup his cash!
"And by the end of the year I'm not just going to be one of the main men, I'm going to the number one, and everyone's going to be after me.
"I've got a high rating with both the WBO and the WBC, and I feel ready for a world title shot.
"Diaz and Pacquiao are both great fighters, but I'm confident that I could beat both of them.

Khan will come good. when everyone was bad mouthing him when he lost, you wouldn´t find an artcle like that from me.
Khan has done the right thing in going to america to train where he rightly say´s he´s a nobody even in the gym he´s in as picqaou is in there
well done amir lad

Khan is a fake and a dud IMO and I made my feelings known when he was fighting the bums he fought before getting battered by Prescott. He got caught by a couple of decent shots in the two fights prior to getting knocked out so you could see it coming.
He isn't a good boxer and no amount of sky/Frank Warren sugar coating will cut it. Look at a true champion like Calzaghe for what it takes to be a world champion, he's fought the best thats available and beat them all, Khan's looking for easy fights and belts to try and justify his overhyped reputation. He is another Audley Harrison i'm afraid.

Fair play to him, it was a good performance. A world champion from Bolton, you can't knock it and I won't.
He hasn't answered all his critics though, people are talking about him and mentioning him in the same breath as Pacquio and Mayweather which is completely ludicrous IMO. If he does half as well as Hatton and manages to defend his world title a few times then he'll have done very well. Khan has all the speed in the world but the power isn't there, maybe it will come with time, we'll see.
Getting Roach on board was an inspired decision.

You mention the key phrase Pfm......"people are talking". i doubt that with all his confidence, he sees himself in the same league as Mayweather and Pacquaio? I expect that he could see himself taking on Hatton sometime in the next 12-18 months, especially since it would be a money spinner.
But this is boxing. It's all about arrogance and posturing. Every fighter always claims he can beat anyone. In football, a manager will say that it's going to be tough and we'll try and hang on, but in boxing it's different. So it shouldn't come as a surprise if Khan's camp start talking about fighting the likes of Pacquaio one day.

| Don't think Khan/Pacquiao will ever happen, by the time Khan gets to Pacquiao's level he'll have retired, as for Hatton, I reckon Khan could take him now! Just watched the fight on replay now as I missed it last night, looked very good, so did the '3 olympians'

I didn't see the fight, so can't really give an opinion, but I'm sure Hatton is still dangerous at his preferred weight.

Pacquiao would be a big mistake for Khan, he is a beast.
Watch now though "I always liked Khan... etc."
I wonder if these are the same people from Bolton who according to Facebook, "wants to see him knocked out"

This is what gets me, but then you ask people why they don't like him and they come up with the reasons:
'coz es a prick init'
'cos he is proper cocky init'
and similar. The only slightly valid reason they can come up with is the incident he had in his car with speeding and hit someone. Wow, crime of the century, I would bet at least 40% of drivers regularly go over the limit.
The 'cocky' one is nonsense because all boxers are the same, including Ricky Hatton and especially David Haye who can't keep his motormouth shut, yet people like him.

third hand i was told..
'drove over 60 from prestons of bolton to the lights where the accident took place where he went straight on from the right hand turn lane, the police tried to recreate the speed, but didnt have a vehicle quick enough to do the acceleration'
timed at 7 seconds from prestons to the accident by using time stamps from the cctv..
so bit more than ' some speeding'.
however the cockiness thing ,i always think 'are they looking at someone else?' for a boxer he seems pretty clued up ??
oh and watched the fight,, thought he controlled it *really* well and whilst he couldnt knock the bloke out, he seemed to be in control for all of it ( give or take a round or two?)... impressive..

i agree
if anything , i dont think he's cocky enough for a boxer!
p.s. a lot of people in this country dont like Khan cos he's Asian , simple as that, if you watch his fights online and theres a chat room open too - some of the racist filth you will read is beyond belief

I don't think it's institutional. Just racist.
It was a good win for Kahn, but very much in the way that his career would have been over if he hadn't.
I wouldn't write him off as a no-mark. He turned professional too early and has been treading water while he gets a bit older and stronger. The fight against Prescott was evidence of that and probably necessary in his development - he's been fighting a better long fight since rather than hoping for a knockout.
Certainly he needs to go up against better opponents to prove himself, and until he does there will always be questions; but I don't think he's failed to do so yet - he just started too early.
