    If khan beats Canelo in good fashion, it is one of the best wins in the history of the modern game, and probably the biggest win in British boxing history. A light welterweight, barely moved up to welterweight, moves all the way up to 155, to fight a guy who comes in to the ring at 157lbs!

    It doesn't make him ATG, but if he beats Canelo at 155, what bigger win out there is for him. If he beats Canelo, beats Garcia in a rematch and beats Brook, Spence and Thurman, he is a hall of famer,,,,,but never an ATG. Only Mayweather, Pacquiao, Pernell are ATG's in the past 20 years.
    That's a lotta lotta stuff for King Khan to do that he hasn't done yet and more than likely never will do. He is a 4 to 1 underdog to Canelo. The odds are he will suffer his 3rd KO loss and it will be a very long haul from there to the hall of fame. You are right that Khan will never be an all time great because he isn't great in the first place. He is just a better than average fighter with weak chin and a strong army of loyal fans.

      I'll move him up past Armstrong and Robinson if he gets past the mighty Canelo.

          Absolutely, he should be ranked number 1 ATG, bar none. Even if he loses.

              Isn't that true? He's fighting the best P4P EVER at the hottest division of 155.
