    Amir Khan has become the most overrated fighter on this site.

    He went from being underrated after the Prescott fight to being overrated. This isn't a hate thread, it's just my opinion. I'm still not sold on his chin and we have to remember that Maidana had just gone life and death with frigging Demarcus Corley. On top of that, Khan probably would've been stopped if that fight had gone on for another round or too.

    I think Khan loses to both Bradley and JMM if any of those fights happen.

      Really who cares? I don't. I like Amir Khan and Sergio Martinez. It's NOT like people are saying they're like Leonard or Duran. Seriously.

          Someone mentioned Sergio Martinez being overrated, and there may be some truth to that because Williams and Pavlik were fighters who are very easy to hit. But we still have to have someone beat Martinez to prove that and nobody has come close here lately since the first fight with Paul and Williams didn't even really deserve the win.

          There's a strong case that in the days of 15 rounders and without Joe Cortez, we'd be reading Khan's eulogy right now and that's the point I'm trying to make.

            Khan was coming back at the end of round 12, and maidana was completely knackered by that point. If anything, the momentum was with khan at the end

            I'd favour khan over bradley, just based on his speed/jab/movement. I can see it being a competitve fight though.

            Just my 2 cents - i'm sure you could make a strong case for bradley beating khan. I guess we'll find out later this year if bradley gets past alexander

              Right on Homie!! I dont see nothing special about that ****er!! A lot opf people on here are talkin mad nonsense about how everyone is ducking him. They think he is an elite fighter like, pacquiao, Mayweather, and JMM. They need to get off that crack!!! Just tired of all this hype on that idiot!! JMM will school that wannabe Capone-E!! cant wait for that fight to happen. But according to everyone on here JMM has been ducking him beacause they havent agreed on the fight. It has never been proven or no one has ever heard JMM say that he dont want to fight KHAN, its been the other way around, KHAN ducked JMM when he was a lightweight. He was JMM's number contender but chose not to fight him and moved to 140. Now hes calling out JMM and expects JMM to fight him under all his conditions. What a Biatch ass Diva!!

                That's the thing though. We're not in the 15 rounder days and It's not like Amir Fans(Atleast to my knowledge) are calling him the next Sugar Ray Robinson or something.

                He's not Jean Pascal where "legit" writers thought he would be the next Roy Jones Jr. That's the definition of overrated.

                Did Joe Cortez protect Amir? Well that's up for opinion, and in my opinion he did. He still withstood the round and the rest of the fight. Marcos Maidana is an animal meng. He's no joke.

                But of course it is your opinion.

                  Khan fought really similar to the way Cotto does at the end of that fight. Landing shoe shine punches with no damage and back pedaling. I really don't think his stamina would hold up against Bradley, although the thing that makes that fight even is the fact that Bradley is a lot shorter and don't punch as hard. JMM is smaller too so that makes that an even fight. I'm not saying Khan can't beat these guys. But people just automatically assume he does and that's wrong in my view. Their stamina is better than Khan's.

                    seriously. big fan of Martinez, but he doesn't come close to those guys.

                    and i might be the only one that remembers him having a knack for taking breaks in between fights.

                    against Williams (in the first fight); the moment Martinez decided to slow down a bit, Williams quickly picked up the pace and started racking up points himself.

                    the 2nd fight would have had some similarity as well, but Martinez made sure it would not go past 2 rounds.

                    but still, Martinez FTW
