But he'll never be an A+ fighter, guys like Cotto, Canelo, Bradley, Garcia, Lara and Thurman can't possibly be dominated, but Khan was completely out classed by Canelo, Idk how anyone scored the fight with Khan being up, he only won rounds 1 and 2, Canelo was destroying with him body shots and setting up the KO shot from rounds 3-6
        how the hell was Collazo a top fighter? and he did not dominate Maidana

            oscar had an iron chin and was only stopped by pacquiao when he was done, and by hopkins, a huge middleweight who would later fight at LHW.

            he fought better fighters than khan and in a better era than khan, including floyd in his prime, mosley in his prime, fernando vargas, pacquiao in his prime, whitaker when he was past it but still a top fighter, was jobbed against trinidad, ike quartey, etc. oscar de la hoya is a first ballot hall of famer based on his resume. and also his ability. he was a heck of a boxer with an outstanding chin and left hook.

            khan's best wins are limited maidana, never was devon alexander, past it zab judah. got knockout losses to garcia, canelo, and a one round loss to bredis freaking prescott. their careers are not much alike other than to say that they both benefitted from marketing and had a lot of backing from the networks. oscar backed his **** up, man. that guy could ****ing fight. amir was a front runner. if you could handle his speed he could be not only beaten, but beat up and knocked out.

                  Khan's kept his name in the media which I think people associate with being good. His feuds with Brook and publicly clamoring for a Floyd fight combined with fighting low risk moderate reward fights kept him at least above water.

                  Personally I think he's been coasting off his 140 days

                    Khan is without a doubt a gifted fighter with tremendous hand speed.

                    He was dominating Garcia before he got knocked out

                    He was beating Canelo before he got knocked out

                    He beat Maidana but he almost got knocked out.

                    See the pattern?
