How is Khan underrated? He hasn't held a world title in 4.5 years, he's about 6 years removed from his best win (Maidana), which many people thought he lost, and he's got 4 losses on his resume, three of which were by brutal KO.
Most of the dislike directed at him is due to his personality. He's an egotistical, obnoxious, deluded moron. As a fighter, I think most fans give him a fair shake, acknowledging his agility, speed and workrate. He just can't hold a shot and he's not great in the trenches. His tactics are also all over the place at times, and he has no real pop.
While he has good attributes, a good boxer-puncher with timing will almost certainly catch up to him because of his weaknesses in other areas.
