    Maidana is by far his best win, and his only great win.

    Kotelnik and Judah are pretty good wins, Malignaggi, Collazo and Algieri are no better than decent.

      Shawn Porter would be his best win.

        From my hardcore fanboy perspective His best wins are:

        Going to war with a rioded Peterson in his home town with a dodgy ref and judges yet still held his own...

        Dropping Maidana and taking his best shots despite having a "glass chin"

        dominating Judah & Paulie for fun

        Making Bradley jump up to 147

        Floyd avoiding him for Maidana & Berto

        sexually frustating Brook & Hearn

        I think he has looked bloated and shot over the past few years excluding his performance against Alexander.

        He is going to need his S&C to be perfect to hold his own against Canelo...and he is still testing and trading S&C coaches this late in his career.

        It has been fun to watch him...think we'll see retirement if/after Canelo stops him.

          Khan has a good resume. His run at 140 was very impressive and shut the haters up for a a couple of years during that run. I had him winning the Peterson fight, but even if you take that away he had one of the best runs of any fighter on the planet during that time. Since then, the way he beat Collazo was very impressive the style he did it in I mean over a good but faded fighter. His win over Devon was a very good win also because again it was so dominant.

          I would say its kind of difficult to put a proper measure on him over the last couple of years, this fight will reveal a lot.

            Maidana was his best win. With a better referee who didn't break them when they weren't tied up to save Khan from being KOed Maidana might have KOed Khan. Torres was helping Khan win.

              Khan looked good against Alexander and Collazo but he looked bad against Algieri and Diaz. I can't give him a snowball's chance in hell against Canelo. Canelo throws very fast, hard, accurate combinations. He will be Khan's worst nightmare in the round or two the fight goes. Cotto couldn't hurt Canelo and he punches much harder than Khan. Khan can run but he can't hide.

                  "As an amateur, he scored notable wins over two-time Olympic gold medalist Mario Kindelán and future world champion Victor Ortiz. As a professional, Khan holds notable wins over nine world champions, including Andreas Kotelnik, Marcos Maidana, Julio Díaz, Luis Collazo, Chris Algieri, Paulie Malignaggi, Devon Alexander, Marco Antonio Barrera, and Zab Judah."

                    His best win was convincing himself that he's special. It's always amusing to watch the village idiot. I admit I am curious to see how he reframes getting sparked by Canelo.

                      Maidana & Devon Alexander are his primary wins of note. He's got some other decent wins.

                      But right now he's about a year removed from a competitive fight in which he got rocked by non-puncher Chris Algieri.
