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.Comment

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.Comment

Marquez "proved" himself @ WW?

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.Comment

In order? That's difficult to do. I know he wouldn't be one of Mayweather's top 12 wins for sure.
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.
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?Comment

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.

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.Comment

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.

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.Comment
