Did you see the fights, well here's my opinion/
Starting with Amir Khan, his fight was with a resonable oponent for his 2nd professional fight Baz Carey, the guy was 35 had been in the Army and had 20 or so professional fights, Khan kept coming in and punishing him but credit Carey kept coming back (didnt hurt Khan) Do you know how hard it is to take that kind of punishemnt and comeback, those punches are sickening and dizzing right down to your boots.
Khan won a decision he's progressing well.
Its just worth noting the difference between the weights as a basic rule a lightweight fighter can take a lot more punishment and still keep going than a heavyweight, so if Khan had been heavyweight he would have knocked the guy out before the end (he is pound for pound much better than Audily Harrison).
Joe Calzaghe won a fight he should have done by a knockout but broke his hand in the 3rd round and fighting with one hand he still went on to win every round after that
So he should be rated as the best pound for pound fighter in Britain today.
(Better I would say than Ricky Hattern)
