    The code changed. A moderator should be able to fix them.

    All hail King Mosley. What a thrashing.

    I'm a bit perturbed about the wrapping allegations. Did Cotto really stand and trade for 11 rounds against a man with plastered hands? That would certainly explain why it was so nasty.

    The illegal pad allegations are unsettling to say the least. Still, not bad work for a 37 year old 4-1 underdog. Sugar's trainer is the same guy who trains Hopalong, talk about being on a roll!

    In Margarito's defense, he does have a granite chin and did take the most blows of the bout. If he did use illegal wraps though during his fight with Cotto, it would definitely mar what was a fannnnnntastic fight.

    I think Kotelnik has a decent shot at Khan.

    khan just dominated the dude

    won every round bar round 3 imo, excellent performance

    still not 100% on his chin though, he fought a good tactical fight tonight and roach is obviously the reason for his upgraded performances

    Much easier than I thought it would be. Although, I had it around 8 rds to 4. Khan is chinny tho. He better keep to boxing, and refrain from slugging it out from now on.

    he might have a stronger chin at this weight though because hes even big for light welterweight

    no way that other guy gets 4 rounds, maybe 2 or 3 at a push

    The connect rates for both guys were low. Three is fair, but I just seen enough times where Khan didn't land, and got countered a few times. It's all a moot point since it was clear as day who won. Him and Ricky Hatton will likely meet each other within the next year.

    I gotta find the quote, but Hatton has said he's interested in fighting him. Khan on the other hand...that's a different story. It's a fight that really makes sense for Hatton, and since he seems to be on the downside of his career already. Khan should realize it's not a significant risk fight.

    Looks like your right bigman. Ricky is apparently real sick, and is actually thinking of retiring. Not a bad move imo. Because I do think Khan would likely beat him via a UD...maybe even wear him down for a tko.

    both their styles are polar opposites

    not comparing khan to mayweather cus he has no d, but hes quick as hell and moves in and out

    Roach is great wth boxers that have his natural speed/quickness. I still wonder about his chin, but if he gets his footwork down. He won't have to be concern with getting hit much.
