Impressive performance from Amir, albeit against a hand-picked opponent who couldn't punch a dent into a bowl of mashed potatoes.

But Khan has clearly come a long way since the last time I saw him box on ITV. Roach has done a heck of a job.

Khan looked pretty good albeit against a hand picked opponent.

Be interesting to see him fight Maidana as from what I have seen he can bang a bit.

One thing is clear - Freddie Roach is a superb coach/trainer.

Haye v Harrison..............are they having a laugh? :shock:

So Haye has proved plenty of times that he can talk the talk but after all of his boasts to liven up the heavyweight division we've been fed Valuev, Ruiz and now Audley?

I thought he was going to challenge the Klitschko brothers? He appears to me to be full of crap but i am sure that some misguided people will actually pay to watch this rubbish.

Everyone with an ounce of boxing knowledge knows that this pair should not be fighting for a heavyweight belt.

Just shows how bad the heavyweight division is right now when somebody like Harrison is getting a title shot

Thanks for posting that video link. Robinson was one of the all time greats!

Now if only Floyd Mayweather would quit running scared and fight Manny Pacquiao. Don't think the Floyd could stand up to the relentless attack.

At times I wonder where Ali should be ranked, but never be out of the top 5.

Vladamir Klitschko beating Samuel Peter is another reminder of how insignificant David Haye is. If you want to be a real heavyweight you have to get in there and fight the best. Haye continues to talk the talk and of course duck the best. Haye is smart. He gets people to believe that he is good and part with their hard earned dosh while fighting shot fighters and nobodies. Or is that what boxing is about these days.

Come on Audley. I won't be watching but please knock this bum out :)

Watched the fight last night the Germans turned out in force again- another poor Championship fight the Heavyweight division has to be one of the poorest weights at the moment. Theres not many more fights outthere for the brothers.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I am not always right but sad to say i was spot on with that post from a couple of months ago. Misguided indeed.
