No Question he is one of the biggest HYPE JOBS I have ever seen in boxing...only thing that ever impressed me about Khan was his SPEED...other then that...NOTHING!
A guy getting thrown in the Mix as a potential candidate to fight Mayweather...AND FOR WHAT...he hasn't done any thing in the sport of boxing, he is just the guy that Spars with Pacquiao and is trained by Freddie Roach, that is his Claim to Fame...

The truth is people seem to not realize that boxing isn't all about being a great athlete. Khan is a good athlete but he isn't a great fighter and at this point in his career he will never be one, it just is something he will ever overcome. Peterson with or without PEDs would of beat him in a rematch, Garcia iced him, and without a doubt Bradley would of beat up on him too.
I picked Garcia by kayo going into this fight because Garcia is just simply better. Garcia isn't special by no means, he's wild as hell but Khan just isn't good. He's so average when you talk boxing skills its absurd and that is why he is the biggest hype job in ages. People need to stop falling into the trap of hand speed. Peace out, Amir.

Well, he was definitely overrated by his fans.
Dunno if he's the absolute biggest hype job in decades, though.

I think you're being unfair.
After all, Khan has beaten good fighters. He has proved himself.
He's just not as good as most thought he was and could be, myself included.
I still think he's a good fighter.
