Khan is the more superior loser. Thats about all, really. Khan in boxing doesn't refer to his skills, legacy or wins, but instead his 'name' (publicity).. the professional use of media to get him into massive fights without actually earning them.
He's been very good at it as well. The only fight he didn't manage to talk himself into, was the Floyd fight. But the fact he somehow turned a lot of opinion from 'what an absolute joke of a cherrypick' to people genuinely considering the fight, is kinda hilarious and respectable. He did the same for Canelo. Boxing is the best sport for conning the public, bar none.
A KO loss to a good fighter isn't a plus to Khan's career. It's a minus. Khan may want to be great but he isn't even close to being great. He never was and he never will be. Khan can't go 10 fights in a row without getting KOed. Garcia, in contrast, has never lost a fight and never been knocked down and has been a reigning world champion most of his career. He is closer to greatness than Khan will ever be. Getting KOed by Canelo doesn't make Khan special. Canelo also KOed 30 other pro fighters. Khan does have more twitter followers than Garcia for whatever that is worth in today's world.
Your sarcasm chip needs updating.
There is one thing Khan has that trumps anything Garcia has - a KO loss to Canelo.
Danny hasn't dared to be as great as Khan.
Also, who got more twitter followers?
Also, bank accounts. Check em. A KO loss to a good fighter isn't a plus to Khan's career. It's a minus. Khan may want to be great but he isn't even close to being great.

It doesn't matter what Khan does better than Garcia. He got stopped badly by Garcia and would probably suffer the same fate. Khan is becoming a bigger joke everyday.
danny does a lot of things better than khan.
better:
timing
chin
power
counterpuncher
khan's just faster, and to the layman that can make it look like he's doing everything better.
if you watch khan - garcia you'll notice danny timing khan quite a bit throughout. brits make it seem like he was gettin whitewashed and that danny landed a lucky punch, but that's just not the case. he looked for that punch, starting in training camp. khan's wide open, and danny has terrific timing with his left hand counter. that was the gameplan.
True.
Khan won the first 2 rounds yes, but it's clear to see that Danny was making adjustments and timing Khan on his way in.

agreed, not strong finishes.
zab was on a mission that night, he really wanted that one.
That was a weird one. We normally expect Zab to start fast and strong and fade late but that fight was the opposite.
I think that was a great learning fight for Danny, I think he was so far ahead in his mind that he switched off a bit and started to cruise and his lack of experience showed and if Zab has anything it's experience.
He looks a lot better at 147.
100%.
I said from the Matthssye weigh in he should move up. He looked terrible.
I don't know why Angel was so adamant about staying at 140 when it was clear he didn't have an easy time making it and Angel admits now it was a mistake.
Khan does have very fast hands. His hand speed is faster than Garcia's hand speed. Khan doesn't usually turn much weight into his punches. He often throws a flurry of fast light punches with little power, designed to impress the judges but not to hurt his opponent. He threw some fast but harmless flurries of punches in the Canelo fight giving some the false impression he was winning rounds he didn't win. Canelo outlanded Khan in 5 of 6 rounds and held him even in the other round according to the punch count of the computer box and Canelo landed the much harder punches.
I believe DG is better in every department apart from hand speed.
Khan is basically a 5 round, in and out guy these days.
Most professional fighters improve in their late twenties, Khan has actually regressed.
If he didn't run his mouth for 3 years about Floyd he would never even got the Canelo fight.
He is one step above a Twitter fighter.
My math was off. Khan has averaged one fight every eight months.Courageous Khan can probably get that rematch with Garcia whenever he wants it and would see if he can do any better than he did in their last fight.
I am reading many posts about Khan's great courage and willingness to fight anybody. In the 4 years since Garcia KOed Khan he has only had the one dangerous fight with Canelo for which he was extremely well paid. He only had 5 other fights in this time period for an average of 1 fight every 9 months. None of the other 5 fights was against a dangerous fighter who could punch hard. He has been more of a cherry picker overall who rarely fights at all than a fearless warrior who seeks out hard, dangerous opposition.
No. Khan doesn't punch as hard as Danny and Khan can be more careless than Danny. Khan doesn't have the ability to follow a game plan and stick to it the way Garcia does. Khan is a front runner and tires later in the fight. Garcia doesn't have this problem.
