    When is unifying ever a step backwards. Unless it's a choice between a regular unification or a huge PPV fight like Bradley had choose, then it doesn't matter who he lost to years ago.

      Until he does something at ww, a Khan win doesn't mean ****.....at least Marquez went on and proved himself at ww.....Khan hasn't done ****.

        Marquez "proved" himself @ WW?
        He was never a WW to begin with. Only fought there because of PPV or belt. Dude could make 135 if he laid off the roids rn.

        One big win In a division doesn't prove you. Jones wasn't a HW. Cotto isn't a MW. Pacquiao wasn't a LMW.

        Khan is a legit WW because he's beaten four guys there so far. Are they world beaters? Not superbly, but he's proven himself at WW.

          He ko'ed pacquiao and he a competitive fight with Bradley despite the loss ......how the **** is that not proving himself? That is 10× more than Khan has ever done at ww.

            What guys did he beat? He arguably lost to al-freaking-gieri and got his ass knocked all over the ring by a past prime Diaz. Beat Alexander who is his only solid win. Marquez' win against pacquiao ****s all over Khan's entire ww resume.

              It may be me, but I hold absolutely zero merit for that KO in the sense that the weight at which it mattered didn't matter anymore.
              Would LaMotta k0ing Robinson at 168 cement him at 168? It wouldn't, it would simply cement him as a great fighter that stopped Robinson regardless of the weight class simply due to the fact that when you're that deep into a rivalry. Four fights, five fights, the weight doesn't serve any relevance anymore.

              And btw, the Bradley fight was not competitive. Clear win for Timothy.

                Corrales
                Castillo
                Pacquiao
                Genaro Hernandez
                Jesus Chavez
                Oscar De La Hoya
                Canelo
                Cotto
                Marquez
                Hatton
                Mosley
                Maidana


                Next 3 is where I'd struggle and Khan being a better win than the last three? Very debatable.

                Edit: Just to add, this is off the top of my head so I might have missed some.
                At the stage Floyd fought him, Canelo's best win was Trout and he had won his title off the light welter Matty Hatton. Noway would that be better than beating Khan, who has Maidana, Kotelnik, Judah, Malignaggi, Alexander and possibly Peterson on his win column.

                Maidana was a substitute for Khan lol so that's a massive no.

                In terms of the numbers you listed, Khan would likely be a top 15, so why are you arguing with the TS?

                  It's more about what has Khan done lately, what has he done in his perspective division 147, how has he looked? Squeezing by Julio Diaz and Algieri doesn't cut it. It's an ugly look to get walked down by a fighter who not only does NOT fight that way but can't punch.

                  Looking at all that I struggle to see how he gets on that list. Canelo is a far better fighter than Khan, don't even get me started on that.

                    Yeah, you fall in the very small minority, there was a certain group that ran with that ******ity and we all know who they were fans of.

                      Gatti
                      Easy. I have a few more in mind but this list is a little more bulletproof.

                      A win over this version of 147 Khan is slightly better than Berto and slightly worse than Guerrero. With Khan you have a guy that:

                      -Best 147 win is Devon Alexander who clearly is not the same fighter anymore

                      -Was dropped and barely slipped by Julio Diaz

                      -Struggled and arguably lost to Chris Algeiri

                      That's Berto level opposition that Khan has struggled with at 147.

                      If Khan beat Peterson and Floyd fought him next, it would be a notable win without question. But this version of 147 Khan as of 10/17/15 has clearly regressed as a fighter and is nothing more than a name.
