Why??? If I entered the world of professional boxing and beat 10 guys that each only had one arm and one leg. Have I earned the right to be cocky? No. And Khan hasnt beaten anyone really credible yet!
If all that is true then that is really lame... He should join Rios in the almost cheating club.

Its always the way nowadays. Khan is a huge name (because he did so well at the Olympics) and will earn millions in his career. Money grabbing agents like Frank Warren are taking advantage of this, and so Khan is only useful when he has a good undefeated record. So Warren picks his fights with much thought. He dosen't want someone that will beat Khan but at the same time make Khan look good.

But he did do brilliant at the Olympics, I admit I cheered him on then and for the first few of his professional fights, but now its boring! I guess it should be Warren I dislike and not Khan, but he's just so damn sure of himself as the greatest. Maybe in a few years, when he's beaten the best guys, I'll be a fan of his.

I don't like the way boxing can be organised like that, players should have to be given their fights by some sort of system... surely this would be better for the spectators as well...

Surely it would be better if boxing was more like wrestling, i can imagine it now

Khan wins by DQ coz he got hit with a steel shair, far more entertaining.

The points can be annoying.... 3 judges.... ha! Notice how it's always like 117-115 117-115 then EITHER 118-114 (same total) or 116-116 (again, same total). Do they just hit the wrong button or something? lol

With regards to the scores, I've always been under the impression they scored each round 10-9, with obviously the winner of the round in their eyes getting 10 points.
So in a 12 round fight, the total amount of points would be (12x10) + (12x9) = 228, which is consistent with the scores of this fight. Is this how it works perhaps? Makes sense.
I'm off out to see We Will Rock You in a minute so haven't got time right now to sit down and work out whether combinations of 10 and 9 can sum to each individual score above, but I would expect they can.
