Could Amir Khan have beaten Shawn Porter?

Khan would win but Porter would knock Khan down at least once

Can we go back to Khan being dead? Who cares that he has a fight coming up. The best thing that ever happened to Khan was he didn’t land the Floyd fight.

Khan is overrated if anything. He was knocked out nearly every time he fought somebody good . His best wins at 147 are some washed up dudes like Alexander, Collazo, Algieri. Porter beating Danny Garcia at 147 is better than anything Khan has ever done. Brook was knocked out by GGG, Spence, Crawford. Porter was knocked out by Crawford. Khan was knocked out by fu.cking Prescott in first round.

I think he could yeah.

Porter is overrated and Khan is underrated. He’ll beat him like he beat Maidana. thought about this fight too. Who would you say was more rugged? Chino or Porter?

I agree with this. Khan is a particular mover when he needs to be. If it's charging or leaping forward with Porter's speed then I think can just pot shots him, retreats on bike, does all 12 easily. However, I do see Khan getting knocked down MAYBE twice. I say Split Decision win from Khan This but I give khan 26-28 years of age a chance only as that’s when he had a big gas tank, after that he tired late in and got caught far easier

In his prime yes the Amir in his prime can decision anyone and stay safe which is why he beat guys like maidana and a few others during his mini run the issue is he needs a lot of stamina for his style to keep the other person off of him and started losing it 4-5 years ago you gotta remember there is a reason Floyd avoided him despite khan winning the poll Floyd set up and that’s due to a bad style match up, it was high risk and low reward, yea Floyd could have knocked him out but wouldn’t have won a decision vs him as khan would have outworked him

No Khan's chin will always fail him vs a very good gatekeeper.

I doubt. Khan - Maidana was at 140. Porter at 147 is something different.

Porter is overrated and Khan is underrated. He’ll beat him like he beat Maidana. If Khan could survive and bust up Maidana, he can survive and bust up Porter. It would not be a easy fight, but Amir Khan has the ability to beat Shawn Porter. Porter was rough, durable and game. But he was not a precised puncher, he was not the type of fighter who was calculating with his offense. Sometimes at times during Khan's career 'It was the calculating punchers, who where the only fighters to negate his speed'. If a fighter went in there and tried to just bull Amir Khan, they would of been busted up real bad for as long as it lasted. Overall, It is not definitive Khan can beat Porter, but he has a big chance 'Backed up by his past performances'. Note: If people are honest with themselves, Danny Garcia, Canelo Alvarez could do nothing with Amir Khan. They could not deal with his speed. But they both realized eventually they would be able to time a mistake and capitalize. Alvarez for most of the rounds vs Amir Khan was being out boxed and could do nothing. And Danny Garcia just put his head down, throw a punch and hoped for the best 'He was being battered by Amir Khan'.

Probably some SD type of fight.

Porter is overrated and Khan is underrated. He’ll beat him like he beat Maidana.

Khan has some speed, but Porter would manhandle him.

Porter would do to Khan what he did to Paulie

Khan would get mauled to bits.... agreed :boxing:

Khan would get mauled to bits....

No chance. Does have the power to keep Porter off. He’s get absolutely obliterated. Bad style match up
