Has Amir Khan become underrated?

I'm not saying Khan belongs on the top 10 P4P list or anything but people are treating him like a total bum now for some reason. Lest we forget this guy was an olympic silver medalist who has 9 former world champions on his resume. I'm not saying he'll beat Crawford but he will definitely give him more of a fight than Garcia did Spence. The closer this fight gets the more i'm actually looking forward to it. You got two guys with great speed and skills. It should be an entertaining fight and Khan will probably win some rounds and make it competitive.

He is being made out to be a joke, but the fact of the matter is? He has ducked very few challenges, and always produces good entertaining fights 'A lot of courage also'. In terms of his ability, I don't think he is underrated no. 'He was out boxing and beating Canelo before he was tagged etc'

Yeah but all the comments i've seen act like Khan is a bum. People don't acknowledge his skills like they did in the past.

His best quality was his ambition but the problem was he couldn't recognise his weakness.

Too many ****** mistakes.

I also think his 'Self confidence' grates on people. Usually when a fighter loses, it has a detrimental effect on their ego and core. But Amir Khan seems to brush his defeats off, and always seems very confident within himself.

[just the facts]

With that notoriously weak chin, it's hard to imagine him beating many world class fighters at 147 or above.

No! What has he actually achieved in the pro game? He was meant to be a skilled amateur going into the pro rank with a silver from the Olympic at 17. The Olympic brought him instant star status in the UK fair enough, but since he turned pro he has been a huge disappointment IMHO.

Tim Bradley ruined his career if he didn't duck him Amir wouldn't have been robbed against Peterson and he wouldn't have taken the Garcia fight

Maybe, but if you're only relying on someone chin as a means of winning then that is a gamble. I think Crawford should just focus on winning rounds and if the knockout comes it comes.

He's achieved plenty. Won world titles, beaten some good fighters and made a ton of money. He's not a bust.
