Is Khan number 1 at JWW now?

[stefl14]

I'm just going by what I see. Khan has an insane amount of speed and some killer combination's. I agree with you and actually had this convo in a thread yesterday that depending on Pacquiao finding the chin that Prescott found (if it's still there), Pacquiao could end it in a KO. As far as skills go, I think that Khan edges Pacquiao out in every area. He has nearly every advantage over Pac and I don't really see any way that Pacquiao could be effective against a young fighter who has speed and movement and great combination punching ability.

From what I can see so far from Khan's skill level, if anybody can beat Mayweather, it is him, and he has a way better chance against him than Pacquiao does. I see Pacquiao is easy work for Mayweather. Khan, not so much at all.

I believe Manny definately KO's Khan. I disagree about Mayweather EASILY beating Pacquiao (been through the argument many times, not going to argue atm as everyone is entitled to an opinion). I do agree that Khan would trouble Mayweather, although if Mayweather is still his usual self I don't see Khan winning.

I know there might be some slight bias as Khan fought yesterday, but the poll is so one sided that we can conclude that the general consensus is Khan is number 1 at 140.

Absolutely he is

Based off of what win?

His best names are Maidana and Barrera, Barrera was old and shot, he didn't dominate Maidana.

Kotelnik, Malignaggi, Salita, Judah, McClockey, none of these names really jump out at me except Malignaggi, and I had Khan winning easily over the rest of them.

Bradley has Holt, in a fight I thought Bradley was gonna lose, I thought the Peterson fight was 50-50, I thought the Bradley fight was 50-50. I thought the Witter fight was more of a test than Judah was to Khan coming in, Witter hadn't lost in years and Bradley fought him in Nottingham where Americans are also going up against Judges.

Bradley beat all of those guys pretty clearly.

Why not rematch Maidana or fight Peterson instead of fighting McCloskey? Why didn't he ever rematch Prescott? It's that Freddie Roach match-making, making Khan look better than he is. He is very good, but he is looking great against guys he's supposed to beat easily.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm sure you predicted Judah would win by KO. And Khan's resume is very underrated tbh. Khan is being matched against those against whom he is supposed to win according to you but he is being matched against the best. Timothy Bradley beat quitter Alexander who is overrated and should have lost his last three fights. Khan's Kotelnik win is way better than Tim's Alexander win IMO. I know Khan does well stylistically vs Kotelnik, but Kotelnik is very underrated on this forum due to his simplistic defence and lack of power. I don't rate Holt at all. Khan didn't fight Peterson due to money etc etc.

This,an tbh outside of the Witter fight Bradley has not had a close fight..He has dominated his opponents as well as Khan has...I say their either dead even at 1 or Bradley got him by an hair...

khan is a much better boxer than bradley, i dont see how anyone could think any different. if you were allowed to nut people then bradley might stand a chance of being number 1.

I'll correct you, yes you are wrong. I had Malignaggi over Khan, not Judah over Khan. I always said i'm rooting for Judah but Khan is gonna win.

Khan's resume is overrated.

This, in a head-to-head matchup Khan would win IMO.

I'm in. I think Khan is gonna win. Judah is a very dangerous gatekeeper. I'm interested to see Mayweather vs Khan late in 2012 after Mayweather beats Pacquiao. Of course, if the whole OST BS gets sorted out.

But if Judah wins, all the Mayweather talk would have to end for Khan. But while a loss to Judah would decrease his chances of fighting Floyd any time soon, it would increase his chances of fighting Manny Pacquiao.
