    Khan has one decent win in Maidana, and he went life and death in that fight. If you look at his resume it actually very thin, especially at 147. Even at 140 there is not much to shout about... Paulie FFS?

      Amir has known all along that Brook would stop him, Kell knew it as well , Khan just cashed out and its good he was not seriously hurt and now he can retire.

        Agreed it was a big money heist and the fans got robbed.

        Fight was at least 10 years too late…. Khan made multi millions from getting a few facial marks in a 20 minute spar with Brook.

          As soon as i saw Khan walking to the ring i thought he was in big trouble, he looked very fragile, whereas Kel looked big and solid.

            Kotelnik was a good win the guy was a solid boxer and is underrated, he beat the brakes of Alexander when he was still good and got horribly robbed.

            Zab and Alexander are decent enough.

            Bradley could have been his career defining win especially as he had no power but Bradley was never interested perhaps because he knew it wasn't a good style match up for him.

              To be honest, that happened each and every time Khan was hit on the chin throughout his career.

                Kotelnik was decent but wasnt it a vacant title?

                Judah was way on the decline and Alexander was never a 147 fighter, he was also in decline. That leaves guys like Collazo and Vargas, not exactly top tier 147 guys.

                I know its easy to hate on Khan, but all i am really saying is that every time Khan faced an elite, prime guy like Garcia, Canelo or Crawford he got murdered.

                He made a huge fortune from talking his way into paydays and getting his a$$ whooped.

                I actually admire him a little for that.

                  Kotelnik was WBA champ when Khan beat him, also Judah was IBF champ.

                  I can't hate on him for losing to canelo obviously, and Crawford is one of the best P4P and Khan was obviously well past prime when he fought him. I also think Khan beat Peterson and got shafted.

                  I do fault him for never rematching Prescott or Garcia.

                  But you know, Khan was what he was, he had a biscuit chin and was sloppy, but I think his career was good considering.

                  His effective career ended when he left roach after the Garcia fight, it was just a never ending cycle of poor fitting coaches after that.

                    Bad start to Crawford's career as a co-trainer. Needs to stick to fighting. Nash out.

                      This, 140 run was extremely solid. He definitely should have got the nod over Peterson as well.

                      He had a good start to 47 but then chased the money vs Canelo instead of targeting one of the champs. That was a really bad KO, took 2 years out of the ring.

                      At that point I knew he'd never come back to any sort of good level, he looked visibly slower, particularly his feet, and when you are overly reliant on speed, you knew hed be in trouble. The Samuel Vargas fight was proof of that.
