    Where does Amir Khan rank in his era?

    I'd have him ahead of Bradley and Maidana.

    Bradley ducked him and he would've destroyed Bradley and his featherfist.

    He beat Maidana.

    I’d put him in the top 20% of his respective weight classes outside of his brief venture to middleweight. I don’t think Bradley ducked him. He was waiting for his contract to expire with Gary Shaw so he wouldn’t have to fork over 20% of his purse. If anything Floyd ducked him in favor of Maidana. If Khan had a chin, there is no telling how far he could have gone.

      You and I know he'll pulverise Bradley and his huge PED head into submission. So Khan will always be greater than Tim Bradley.

        His resume doesn't hold a candle to Bradley's unless you're somehow counting all his losses as wins.

          He only fought 9 times in the last 8 years. basically once a year.

          he was decent at 135-140. Then after two losses in a row he went into that second phase of his career many fighters do when its clear they will never rule a division. He went to cash out or bum fights. This strategy is where you rack up wins over bums and then cash out with a good fighter knowing you will take the L. You avoid those medium level high risk low reward fights. This was his career post danny garcia loss.
