    Well, Khan said he wants to leave boxing the way he entered the sport, and said he wants to clean up the 140 and 147 lbs division by 28.

    I still believe his prime is age 24-25. He turns 25 later this year.

      Who actually says Khan would beat Mayweather. I remember when people on here were saying Devon "home town" Alexander and Tim Bradley would beat Pac, as they use a "slick African American style".

        Different fighters peak at different stages in their career, Hamed peaked way in his early 20s while Pacquiao peaked in his later 20s. It's not odd to peak at 24.

        Obviously you are a Khan fan to reply in such a manner to make him look better.

          IMO if you take Manny and Floyd out of the picture Khan is the best out there in the weight class. He is fortunate in that the top fighters in the division are average with no exceptional talents. There are no Aaron Priors, Hearns, Durans, Leanards type exceptional fighters out there right now. If you measure Khan against the greats mentioned I think it is fair to say he would not be considered great but against the likes of Kotelnik,Alexander,Bradley, Judah and the rest of the bunch he is head and shoulders better IMO.

              This is ******.

              I hate Amir Con. But even I can see that he has superior handspeed, good footwork, and a decent chin.

              Does that mean he can beat Floyd or Pac? I dunno. But they are HOF, ATGs. So the fact that Amir could hang w/ Floyd and Pac proves that he is in fact, a pretty damn good fighter.
