Has Amir Khan ever faced a world class opponent the same height as him?

[goblin213]

Alexis Arguello is an ATG and I don't think he fought someone taller than him. If you can make the weight there's no problem.

[SugarRayCurtain]

taller people can go on to higher weightclasses.
Just look at ODH, Floyd Mayweather, Thomas Hearns, SRL and the list goes on and on.

Yet Amir Khan decides to stay at a weight where only midgets box (guys who average around 5'7, not even average height)
Hes a world champion of fighting mini guys, thats it.

Do you realise Khan is still young, right, and that he will eventually move up in weight? Just like De La Hoya and Hearns did in the latter part of their careers?




The first page of this thread was hysterical.

[Fidel456]

Yes he has once. His name was Prescott.

[Steven Adams]

Of course taller people can go on to higher weight classes... It's obvious that Ali Funeka (6'2, 135 pounder) should fight in a higher weight class than Mike Tyson... makes sense

All opponents who were troubled by Amirs reach and height. The last time Amir fought a world class boxer the same height was Braidis Prescott and look what happened.

Khan is making millions fighting midgets. How can be a boxer be champion of the world when he cant even fight a boxer the same height as he is?

Granted he is making weight but he still has a significant height and reach advantage over all his opponents, he is avoiding guys like Lamont Peterson because he knows he cant use his reach advantage.

Reminds me of Bernard Hopkins, fighting all midgets.

You cant compare King Khan to Hopkins and the midgets
