    He really wasn't once Canelo got his timing down in the 3rd he was outboxing Khan

      Please stop. stop living that dream. Khan was outboxed from the 3rd on. Clearly, too.

      Also...the chances of winning the lottery on khan have been 3/4.

      He’s fought 4 big punchers. Lost to three..by highlight reel KOs. Only one he didnt lose to was Maidana.

          Hell no. He still would not be that good. Peterson edged him out on points and Peterson is not very good. Peterson isn't a big puncher and Khan's weak chin didn't cost him that fight. Khan isn't much of a puncher himself. Khan failed to drop Algieri or Diaz and neither of them are hard to drop. Khan will be fighting his 2nd cherry pick in a row. He doesn't even believe in his own ability or he would be fighting a legit top 10 welterweight instead of unknown Vargas. Khan just wants to cherry pick his way to a big money fight with Pacquiao. Khan a top pfp guy if he had an iron jaw? No, you need a whole new boxer for that.

            quite possibly. khans put in some very good performances over the years and if u take away the moments where his chin has let him down then youd be looking at someone who would be a p4p fighter imo.

Not like Algieri is a huge puncher but still was very competitive and won 4-5 rounds. But Khan against boxers like he already is would be hell. One of his problems is he will throw fast combos when they are not necessary at all. Kind of like GRJ. There isn't much sense behind them, just what he has been doing his entire career. His punch variety and IQ would have to improve to reach P4P #1 status.
                  True that. Once he faces a fighter with good timing who can punch I between those fast combos, it's lights out!

                    Your point is valid but I think he got screwed in the Peterson fight. Khan probably would have won any place other than DC.

                      possibly but didnt he get credited with knockdowns where punches didn't land so that obviously effected the scoring
