Khan is a total c*nt, and he strengthen's that opinion every passing month.

Carl felt hard done by, especially when Showtime had him winning , to then get a single round awarded by Tillman in the first 10 rounds was a fix of the highest order.

Complain he may, but he didn't cry and sob to the WBC.

So they both complained, but only one had real grounds... Khan

Did the scorecards go missing that night in Denmark? was there a man helping the judges? Was the ref biased? did Froch lose points for something that no other boxer seems to lose points for?

If Froch had the same set of circumstances as khan that night im sure we would have heard about it. I thought Froch lost fair and square, but in Washington that night there was a lot that went on that shouldnt have.

Froch was fighting the elite of his division, not a bum whom he practically hand picked to showcase himself against - and it spectacularly backfired on him.

Khan has never faced an elite fighter. Just little guys, or old men.

He fought one mediocre guy, in his prime - Maidana, and got a beating.

Lol i think you need to look up the scorecards for the fight with maidana, (who was lucky to get out of the first round). They clearly state Khan won.

Elite of the division? a washed up kessler who was a shadow of the fighter that lost to calzaghe. And that after they robbed Dirrell in a terrible home town decision.

You over use the word bum. Peterson is a good very hard working fighter.

Got fed up of hearing about his background though it's worse than Nathan Cleverlys math degree!

"Great work by Peterson who by the way was homeless......." F*ck OFF


*edit* Never mind you might be on about Prescott

Getting rocked in 1 round doesn't consist as a beating.

Great post. Like I said its the first time I've ever seen a champion actually run away during a fight and the challenger have to jog/run after him. IMO Khan lost the fight.

I've also never understood the song and dance Team Khan has made about this they planned to drop the belts and move up to Welterweight anyway. So what's going to happen Khan will likely win the rematch then he drops the belts again ? At least Peterson will give it his all to hold on to them so I live in hope he can beat Khan.

You need to watch the fight between Sugar Ray Leonard v Marvin Hagler. Two legends of the sport. The latter spent 12 rounds hunting. The former spent most of the fight on the back foot. There were parts of the fight where leonard was actually running from hagler. I remember the commentator saying "his on his bike again."

Hagler was a beast - and leonard had no choice but to engage and get outta there.... fast.

Peterson emulated that hagler heart... undeterred without thought of what might be thrown back at him. If you watch the legendary fight ... you will see leonard pushing hagler off. If you watch Ali v Frazer... you will see Ali pushing Frazier off.

I'm looking forward to the rematch.... I think if ever there was a reason to have a rematch this is the fight that deserves one. Nobody is interested in watching boring fights fought again.... this fight was not boring. Though I have a sneeky suspicion that there is a number of people who don't want the rematch to occur because they feel that khan will win.

Good Post, Leonard was a master boxer. Got beat from Duran when he tried to change his style to prove he had heart, humiliated  him next time and forced his to say "no mas" in the rematch when leonard reverted to the style that suited him best.

It seems boxing off the back foot is only a legitimate tactic when its not Khan doing it.

Refreshing to read an unbiased view. it seems there is only a few of us that can cut through the hate.

And there, folks, no matter who you love or hate, is the nail hit on the head!

you didnt see leonard getting battered by four or five punch combos with no return from him though did you?!

i cannot believe you are likening khans performance to hagler and leonard! 

there is no comparison whatsoever apart from the fact that leonard worked off the back foot which most people say lost anyway!

styles make fights and khan lost that fight because he cannot deal with pressure fighters very well, look at his career to date, maidana rocked him and freddie himself said he was going to chuck the towel in, lamont after round 2 steps the gas on and khan is clueless, these are basics to take khan out of his stride and someone like bradley would have a field day! he would not only come at khan but he would make him miss and make him pay.

He wasnt comparing Khan to Leonard as fine you know, but countering this quote,

" Like I said its the first time I've ever seen a champion actually run away during a fight and the challenger have to jog/run after him"

So what Maidana rocked him, couldnt get rid of him or even put Khan on the canvas, although khan did deck Maidana with a couple of peachy body shots. i remind you that khan won the fight.

Yeah someone like Bradley would have a field day, sure thats why Bradley called him out then wouldnt go through with the fight. i believe Khan told him to grow a pair and he walked away saying nought.

Ha ha gotta laugh at your calling of the Peterson fight, try watching it again without your rose tinted glasses and you might see a closely fought battle that khan would have won without the scandalous deductions.

sorry pogo i am not budging on this one and i have been fair with regards to khan, i really enjoyed his fight with maidana and then he fails with a bad performance in mccloskey and then gets beaten by a better man in peterson.

i think it is you who has the tinted glasses on sir.

Na afraid not sir, its not me that would have you believe Peterson ran all over Khan in a one sided affair. i know what I saw and what i seen was a good close fight with khan throwing more punches, winning more rounds and a very unsatisfactory set of circumstances.

To tell the truth im not at all fussed, this will all be sorted in the rematch, if peterson is the walk forward tank you think he is he will keep the belts, but im pretty confident the wrongs will be righted and Khan will get his belts back. too much skill for Peterson.

Bradley beat the Piss out of Peterson , Khan thought he'd do a proper number on him in his hometown and look what ended up happening ?

Khan was first floored by a man with ZERO knockouts in Rachid Drilzane, nearly knocked out by Willie Lemon, then floored heavily by the ghost of Michael Gomez, lucky he wasn't halted by Maidana (thanks Cortez!) and now got pinned against the ropes, beaten up and his titles took off him by a nearly-man.

Can you smell that coffee yet ?

exactly red, i am not going to try and dress him up as something he is clearly not, he lacks pop in his punches and lacks the ability to adapt to a fight.

the bradley issue is something different all together and i am standing by the fact bradley is not afraid to take khan and beat him at a later date.

i am not being a hater here pogo but i am sick of seeing people who hype khan up when he is not a 'GREAT' fighter, he is a touch above malignaggi. especially when you look and compare him to someone of say a gamboa or nonito donaire.. they have that extra factor.

khan was befuddled by peterson a rough house old school workhorse, he couldnt change his plan or adapt and for me thats what sets people like mayweather and the elite apart.. oh sorry and all the crap him and his team bring with them puts me off.

well if your gonna criticise anyone for hyping a fighter up maybe you shouldnt be using Red as back up, cos he has hyped up a talentless slugger for years into some kind of Rocky figure when in reality he is pretty mince.

I dont recall ever comparing Khan to either Donaire or Gamboa, or ever calling him an elite fighter which i know he isnt. He is/was a decent world champ though but i do like the fact that Khan has went on to prove Red and the rest of the haters wrong when they gloated so much about him getting  sparked from Prescott. He was washed up they said, badly exposed , never come back from that then he went on to world honours. Couldnt be more wrong really.

And if he goes on to regain his titles again like i think he will im sure gonna enjoy him proving the haters wrong yet again.

As for Bradley he is pretty pathetic really, calling a fighter out , getting the chance to make the fight  then having a change of heart.  once Pacman devalues him then i hope Khan dont give him the opportunity.
