    Amir Khan’s run is seriously underrated.

    How many times do you hear British pundits talk about Carl Froch’s great run of opponents. The reality is Khan’s list sh**s all over it.

    Over the last 10 years.
    2009: Barrera, Kotelnik
    2010: Malignaggi, Maidana
    2011: Judah, Peterson
    2012: Garcia
    2013: Diaz
    2014: Collazo, Alexander
    2015: Algieri
    2016: Canelo
    2019: Crawford

    I think it’s probably the best run of opponents by a British fighter in the last 20 years.

    In terms of opponents, no doubt he had one hell of a ride. I mean overall he was a fun fighter to watch and took on a lot of the top challengers in his weight classes. Obviously he had his flaws, but who doesn't? The Peterson/DSG losses set him back some but then he came back with two dominant performances a few years later against Collazo and Alexander. Good fighter indeed.

        It's a decent run but he lost 4 of those fights, 2 by brutal KO. That's why Frochs run is better. Froch lost to Kessler I know, but it was a razor thin decision and theres no shame in losing to Ward.

            No it doesn’t...

            What’s with the aggression?😂

            Even if it did...

            Barrera
            Kotelnik
            Malignaggi
            Maidana
            Judah
            Diaz
            Collazo
            Alexander
            Algieri.

            Still a very solid list.

              He lost clearly to Kessler IMO, competitive fight but Kessler definitely won 7 rounds. I had it 116-112.

                Yeah I actually forgot how many good fighters he faced. He should get more credit over here IMO.

                  I mean he is to blame for some of the hate he gets and then of course I'm sure some don't like how the Brook fight never happened.

                    He’s a genuine remedial, outside of the ring he brings it on himself. I did meet him at Fury-Klitschko though and he’s a sound fella but some of the stuff he comes out with is just completely delusional.

                    It always makes me laugh how Brook chases Khan and Khan just brushes him off as irrelevant, then Khan chases Floyd and Floyd just brushes him off as irrelevant. It’s like an endless cycle of ******ity...
