    What about Manny's story. Manny fights guys who have height and reach on him. Win or lose.

    Who did Floyd fight like that @ ww. Nobody. Oh there was Conor McGregor and that Youtuber.

      Honestly if his Chin was more Durable and with that Blinding Speed, Khan could've been a Special Fighter and this is coming from Someone who Called him "A Mere Con" for years because he did have a group of extremely annoying fans on here but I never denied his Talent and Abilities especially offensively

      So no I wouldn't say he was overrated...sure he had fanboys who OVERRATES him but all fighters have those

        I think Khan was overrated during his prime, but now his career is getting underrated.

          I’d go with that

          people now act like he was a low level fighter that got knocked out v anyone that touched him, it’s not true

          he has some decent wins on his record and was a solid world level fighter for a few years. He certainly didn’t take a good shot well, but overall he was a pretty good fighter.

            He was pretty decent.

            Beat a prime Maidana.

            Kotelnik, Algieri, Judah, Alexander etc are decent wins.

                Amir Khan is probably best remembered as the jww version of Anthony Joshua. Both of them use offense as defence...and both have the british chin... therefore again like AJ...he was a great fighter but was never going to be elite. As said previously here...given a chin and some reasonable powers of recovery.. he could have been anything...but Prescott cracked him brutally in what was literally his first worst and most savage stoppage and his game was never the same. So kudos to him for making a solid career coming back from that. I will also say this...if he hadn't become such a whiny beggar at the end of his career....no one would really be questioning him.

                  Amir Khan is one of the few fighters, who can look back at his career 'And know that he has really left it all in the ring'.

                  I think he has had a great career, from winning the Olympic Silver Medal 'To coming back from a early devastating loss, and becoming world Champion'.

                  His enthusiasm and tenacity was inspiring 'Khan was a really hardened fighter'. He seemed unaffected by all of his loses, no matter how devastating they where.

                  Most recently Dillian Whyte seems to be another fighter, who just seems to brush off devastating loses 'Resets and goes back to work'.

                  I am not sure how anyone can discredit the attitude of these type of fighters.

                    He never gave Marco Antonio Barrera a rematch. If he had I think he would have been exposed right then and there.

                      Khan deserves more credit, i mean he went 12 rnds with prime Maidana & somehow didnt manage to get dropped despite being hurt like 20 times, which is pretty impressive considering he has one of the worst chin's of all time
