Has Amir Khan become underrated?

[Big_L]

Khan aint much but he is the best guy that Crawford has fought. Which is why I cant get all the way behind the Crawford hype just yet.

[pillowfists98]

insult me all you want but Khan is trash and has never and will never be elite..it is 2019..the guy last held a title when???? another beating is coming for him and a new excuse i guess

Khan was definitely elite at JWW. He was #1 at the weight class at one time. Whether he is elite at WW will have to be seen on 4/20. Crawford is the best P4P fighter in the world but Khan has the style and the skills to test him.

Khan lacks the intelligence to be elite, he throws the same combos over and over, does not adjust his speed and that is why he gets timed. No head movement and his lateral movement is subar.. When he throws flurries he drops his hands and his chin is in the air and he comes in straight lines...The guy is just a dumb boxer who thinks he is better then what he is

If he didn't have that glass chin, he'd probably be undefeated.
The man has heart & a pretty good skillset.
Never backs down from a challenge.

You don't understand boxing so I get why you would think like you do.

Having a chin matters in boxing, but it's not the most important thing.

The reason Khan is an average fighter now is he can't adjust/think on the fly. He has tunnel vision in the ring and doesn't adapt to what his opponent is doing...especially if the opponent can make adjustments (and start to TIME the speedier Khan). That's what happened versus Swift Garcia (dude wasn't even looking when he threw the punch), Ca$hnelo, and in spots versus other fighters.

Gotta be able to think in the ring and Khan canNOT do that. Chin or not he would've been exposed like he has been for being a limited, speedy fighter

and even before then his best win was .............??????

Perhaps, it was Devon Alexander. However, by no means am I underrating or underestimating his résumé. He has one of the best résumés of any active fighter today from Marco Antonio Barrera, Zab Judah, Danny Garcia, Marcos Maidana, Devon Alexander, Saul Canelo Alvarez, Lamont Peterson, Paulie Malignaggi, Chris Algieri, Luis Collazo to Andreas Kotelnik.

resume=wins man

[Big_L]

And please dont give him credit for beating Barrera. Thats like saying William Joppy beat Roberto Duran.

resume=wins man

No it does not. All I am saying is that a resume can be counted as a variable for the lack of notable wins on Amir Khan's resume.

Throughout Amir Khan's career he has fought the very best competition out there and it's partially the reason why he has several losses on his record. For one, he wasn't afraid of taking risks and never ducked anyone.

I will say this; At least two of the four losses on his record were largely due to Khan's own recklessness and undoing. He was the favorite to win against both Breidis Prescott, Lamont Peterson and Danny Garcia but he underestimated them all and it ended up costing him in the long run.

As far as Lamont Peterson is concerned; He fought the fight of his life. The fight was close and could have gone either way.

Against Saul Canelo Alvarez he didn't stand a chance. That should be the only loss on his resume. He was the underdog coming in and wasn't expected to win unlike in his previous three losses.

[giant_king]

He's a decent boxer always have been.i think his bad chin gets him alot of unfair attention.but hey we all can't have a Chin like kimbo slice

[15 Rounds again]

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.

Name me some of his best wins. It seems you have no idea how good a career hes had.
