    Is Amir Khan even relevant anymore?

    I understand hes popular and for that will make decent money. But where does Khan fall in in the 147 landscape. Lower top 10, top 15, top 20? Or is he Andre berto status now.

    He hasnt fought a relevant fighter since DSG,,, still trying to call shots.

    He's the most feared man in boxing.

    According to a number of delusional Brits

      No one wants him because he's now high risk, low reward. With his cheap tactics, he's a difficult fight, but chinny enough that no one is shocked if he fails. Without any real drawing power in the US, I'd say he's in a limbo of his own design. Going back to a fan friendly style would earn him better opponents and bigger draw.

              He just fought on the biggest card of the year and has a fight lined up for December.

                Dude is less than irrelevant. His fans wish otherwise but really this guy only gets attention because of his loud mouth and glass chin.

                  That's the Catch 22. If he does go back to a fan friendly style, he gets KTFO.
