A shame it happened that way because they would have been great fights regardless of the outcome.

    I’m sure Khan would also have beaten Danny Garcia as well as Prescott and Lamont Paterson and Canelo and Crawford. Too bad those guys openly ducked him. There’s no argument. EVERYONE knows the truth by now.

    What a loony toon!

      Khan wasn't a slow, short armed, flat footed, come forward fighter

      Great attributes you just listed for Khan. I’m sure they helped him defeat Danny Garcia, Canelo, Prescott, Lamont and Crawford. Great wins by the way.

        to be fair to him he did have a good career & maybe his positive attitude did help him with that, hes delusional but he did bounce back from some bad defeats

          better to be an arrogant borderline delulu hardworking guy than a humble hardworking guy

          Muhammad called himself The Greatest prematurely right after beating Sonny

          Floyd thought himself vastly superior to Sugar Robinson and Ali. Floyd ended up top 10 all time

              I'm not entirely sure. What, maybe a points win vs Mayweather? My thing is, for all the flashiness Khan showed in speed, it would all fall apart eventually. Look at his Maidana fight. Look at his Danny Garcia fight. The chin always failed him at some point or he just let down the momentum. Prime Pac would have gotten to Khan and once he tagged him, I'm sure he would have gone down.

              He's kind of a dude who has all his skill points put into hand speed and heart, some points put into power, and zero points put into chin.

                  Elite neck Khan had the best shot.

                      educated guess Manny and amir had good sparrings

                      so this is where Amir's ideas come from

                      would be impressive since Manny the type to hard spar used to break partners ribs
