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

      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

        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

          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

            thought about this fight too.

            Who would you say was more rugged? Chino or Porter?

                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.

                  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 would win but Porter would knock Khan down at least once
