    Garcia is a borderline HOFer himself, I know he isn't great in terms of skill, but he's a massive overachiever, similar to somebody like Froch. Even if you count the Herrera and Peterson fights as losses, he still has a very good resume.

    Guys like Judah and Collazo look good on the resume, they're former champions and at the time Khan beat them, they were still at a respectable level. They're not his best wins, but they count towards it.
    Ok we disagree there. It's Khan's best win without a doubt, but remember that's the same Maidana that lost nearly every round against Alexander. It was not the best Maidana - in my opinion.

    Garcia is not a borderline hall of famer by any stretch of the imagination. i don't know where you got that from. I agree he has a good resume, nowhere near Froch's AT ALL.

    no they don't look good on the resume. They are just there - The versions of the guys the fought one was prime in 2002 the other in 2005. Khan fought them in 2010 and 2014 respectively after they both suffered multiple defeats. Nothing but fillers. They are absolutely nothing to bring up when it comes to HOF discussions.
