    Possibly. The point is though is that he shouldn't have KO'd by that bum in the first place. He got rocked badly by a single jab before the knockout blow even came.

    Freddie has a lot of work to do. The problem is boxers get hit no matter how good their defense is. Expect Khan to fight a lot of feather fists and smaller guys in the forseeable future.

    Believe me, they won't want any part of Edwin Valero.

    Lewis should never have lost to McCall, Manny should never have lost to Torrecampo, the list goes on. These things happen, and it was probably the best thing which could have happened to Amir. Of course Freddie has alot of work to do, I'm not denying that, but sometimes I think people forget how young the guy is. He's definitely improved as well, I wouldn't have picked him to beat Kotelnik or even Barrera pre-Prescott.

    I rate Guzman very highly, he's got the talent to be an elite level fighter. Too bad about his attitude.

    As Pacquiao was rising through the weights, from 122 through to 130 i felt he'd come unstuck if he ran into Guzman. Obviously i don't feel that way now. But Guzman had a chance to get into the mix, and be involved in some really big fights. All the big fights that were there for him at 130 and 135 have gone.

    This should be a good fight....hopefully Guzman will mean business, and Funeka is awkward and dangerous.

    Obviously now nobody in their right mind would pick Guzman, but if Pacman fought Guzman at 122, 126, 130, whatever, even that rawer, less polished Pacman would have beaten the absolute shit out of Guzman. I would be as sure in picking that as any fight involving two name fighters.

    It would have been a 1 sided beating like Pacman - Ledwaba.

    Guzman hasn't even beaten anyone to warrant picking him over Pacman at any stage in Pacman's career at 122 or above. And he's looked average against the people he has beaten.

    And looking at Guzman now, like I said, his last 8 fights have been decisions, he hasn't had a TKO in half a decade. Weren't people calling him a puncher? :lol:

    Funeka is a really good fighter and has the potential to be champ....I hate Guzman and hope he gets KTFO.

    I know that, idiot.

    But even at 122 he didn't look like a big puncher, and clearly his power didn't carry to 130 in the slightest. At 130 he can't punch at all.

    Funeka is good, the guy is also freakishly tall. He made Nate Campbell look tiny. Funeka is a tough fight for anyone at LW, no doubt.
