    Why do you seem to mention Floyd out of the blue in every thread?

        Let me help you out.

        He must have scared Floyd it was Khan who won Floyds pick my next fight comp and Floyd took off and fought Madonna lol.
        There were 5 polls and Maidana won 4 of them and was a world champion

            He won Olympic silver at 17 years old... Pretty incredible.

            And went on to become world champion.

            He obviously didn't have much of a chin, and his personality is a little strange, but probably normal considering he's grown up in the limelight. Never had a normal life.

            How was he overrated?
            If anything he over achieved with that chin he has.

                He was good enough that he was the biggest non-Pacquiao payday for Floyd, but Floyd never took the fight.

                    When talking athletically gifted with fast twitch muscles, Amir was A+ level. Definitely had some of the fastest hands Ive seen.

                    With that said, being gifted athletically has gotten many fighters belts but it takes much more in boxing to be elite. Skill wise Khan has poor defense and even worse durability. These 2 factors brought him down to a B level fighter.

                        Yeah but Khan won Floyds poll so honor it.

                        If you can cherrypick the Bertos and Ortiz's of the world, you could have stuck Khan in there.

                            well I can see why he chose Maidana, he was a champion and obviously more fans wanted to see that fight, Khan had not done anything around that time to be honest.

                                        I would have to say very overrated. All it took was just one no look left hook from Danny 'Swift' Garcia and his career has never been the same.
