Which one is Amir Khan's greatest achievement?

Nah I think Khan's win over Algieri is better than Maidana. At the time Maidana was interim level whose best fight/win was against the then-hot prospect Victor Ortiz. Algieri was coming off a win over red hot Ruslan Provolone and winning a full title and losing to ATG Manny Pacquiao. If you measure those two fighters at the time Khan fought them I just can't see how Maidana was a better win a fighter coming off a pillar to post beating with 6 KDs in the process in probably the worst scorecards differencial ever from a past prime manny is a better win? I thought coming off a loss alone disqualifies that let alone in the manner that he did. There's a bigger chance Maidana that Khan fought would whoop that Algieri as well. Khan is a better fighter at 140 than he was at 147.

Surviving Maidana's late rally.

Yeah they went on to fight for years, but that doesn't change the fact that they were past their best when they fought Khan - particularly Zab, Malignaggi was more of a style thing and never would have troubled Khan. Mosley was past his best by the time he fought Cotto, but he still went on for years after that, even having some great moments such as his KO win over Margarito and staggering Mayweather. no need to explain that they were. like I said either way they were good wins for Khan at that level, past prime or not. thing is Khan kept on making the same level of victories 6 yrs later lol worse versions were fought by porter and garcia.

I wouldn't want to defend Khan as I hate him more than any boxer, but Malignaggi went on to fight for years. Zab went on to fight for years, having good fights over Garcia and Matthysse.

Come on man, the only one of those that was truly impressive was the win over Maidana, especially how he overcame being on the brink of a stoppage defeat in the tenth round. Malignaggi was past his best and tailor-made for Khan (a pure boxer with no punching power), Zab was way past his best, and the Barrera fight was a complete farce and should have been a no-contest since he suffered a horrendous gash in the first round and the powers-that-be made sure to wait until four rounds had been completed before stopping the fight so they could hand Khan a points win. It was corrupt. Plus, Barrera was ready to retire and fighting at a weight he never belonged at as well. The Kotelnik win was good, though nothing mind-blowing. Khan's hand speed and movement can/could give anyone trouble, but he's just too heavily flawed to ever be consistent. He went to hell and back with Lamont Peterson (and lost) for crying out loud. Not to disparage Peterson in any way, he's solid, but if you can't beat him you can't call yourself a top guy in the division. I wouldn't want to defend Khan as I hate him more than any boxer, but Malignaggi went on to fight for years. Zab went on to fight for years, having good fights over Garcia and Matthysse. Maidana was probably his best career win. No matter how we view it that was an okay run especially for an up and coming fighter. And was the best part of his career. Not to say they're mind blowing but it was relatively good compare to where he is now or what he has achieved for the last 6 years. People started to really hate him when became extremely delusional.

Khan has done so much more than that:- * Melted the hearts of a nation on "I'm a Celebrity" * Won back his own wife from Anthony Joshua * Conned a 3-fight deal from Hearn under the pretense that one would be vs. Brook :D Lmao........^^^

I used to really root for this guy when he was up and coming. He had a good run against Barrera, Kotelnik, Maidana, Malignaggi and Zab. He certainly looked like the next big thing in most of those moments. Barely losing rounds.

I agree with everything you said. Khan is a conceited jerk who disrespects other fighters and overrates himself to the extreme. He is also a liar,a crybaby and a sore loser. I dislike him more than almost any other boxer. He has no loyalty to trainers either, He did his best fighting with Roach and dropped him. Then Hunter was the greatest trainer ever. Now he is no longer with Hunter either even though Hunter is no longer sick and training other fighters. If he needed the rounds with Vargas he could have stepped on the gas and taken him out in round 12 if he is half as good as he claims to be. He has become a cherry picking chicken who only wants to fight lousy fighters who can't punch and then get handed a Mayweather or Pacquiao fight he never earned. He has a big money fight with Brook right in front of him for the taking. Brook even agreed to drain himself to 147 just for Khan. But Khan seems to be afraid of Brook for all these years Brook has been challenging him. Totally. Whatever comes from his mouth for the last 6 years is just straight cringeworthy. His talk to performance/where-he-actually-is ratio is out of this world that you could mistake him from being mentally ill.

He certainly looked like the next big thing in most of those moments. Barely losing rounds. Everything changed though when he started running his mouth, coupled with mediocre ring performances not even close to backing them up. The likeable things about him, speed, heart etc, soon got totally outweighed by his delusions of grandeur up to a point it's so easy to hate him and root for him to get KOed every outing. Until now it is truly a wonder why and how the few fans he's had left can put up with it. "I could've taken him out any time out there had I put my feet on the gas. But well I needed them rounds" Amir Khan on his performance against Vargas. That is just Khan being Khan. Vote and discuss :boxing:I agree with everything you said.

His greatest achievement was showing the world those bambi legs and glass chin. At least he was able to give us decent boxing gifs. https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/2542200/Amir_Khan_Dropped.0.gif https://media.giphy.com/media/ISmUTyaNY4F9K/giphy.gif http://remezcla.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/giphy.gif Hard to defend a guy who got wobbled by Algieri and dropped by Sammy Vargas

Outside boxing achievement yes this. Inside boxing....making an actual career earning 7 figures after getting brutally KO'd by future journeyman Breidis Prescott.

Khan has done so much more than that:- * Melted the hearts of a nation on "I'm a Celebrity" * Won back his own wife from Anthony Joshua * Conned a 3-fight deal from Hearn under the pretense that one would be vs. Brook :D Oh certainly up there :D

Khan job.. only delusional fans thought Amir Khan was special When it comes to skill and substance he's definitely far from worst. But his delusions of grandeur to where he actually is ratio differential is by far the biggest in boxing.

His greatest achievement was getting up in this before Joshua broke it. https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h8T18luZV38/VyrZYhpOLrI/AAAAAAAAKbA/fqIW55NlSlESESF4vsiSm2rxPyQYkC4RACLcB/s1600/Best-Beauty-Looks-OctWk4-CG-03.jpg Outside boxing achievement yes this.

Barely winning via decision over Chris Algieri is his best accomplishment. He'd probably be remembered more for his joke documentary about being ducked by Floyd and Manny like their his kryptonite. If we gonna go by wins. His win over maidana is better than his win over algieri imo.
