    This forum definitely has loads of losers and blockheads whose existence depends on trolling. These idiots don't even watch boxing.

    Fury has zero unification and zero title defences in 13 yrs, yet these numbnuts think he has the best resume because he beat the bum, Wilder, and 28 other bums. LMAO. He shouldn't even have been in the ring with Wlad after failing PED test against Hammer.
    Most overrated fighter in history. Could barely win against Otto Wallin. Who is ranked 49th by boxrec.

              depends on resume if you talking wins over live opponents or just a list of names and including those KO losses.

              Khan has the best resume interms of names and including losses.

              But AJ and Fury are both top 3 heavyweights right now. Khan was never top 5 welterweight in his life.

              The guys he actually beat, most of them were shot as hell - MAB, Judah, Paulie M, Collazo, all those guys were shot to chit.

              His best win was Maidana and that gets credit only because maidana did well vs floyd later on. Maidana at 140 wasnt that great though, struggled with a geriatric Morales and also still made Khan do the funky chicken dance in their fight. Khans chin was that bad, that even in his best win of his career he was wobbled.

                In terms of overall accomplishments, no. Khan lost most of his biggest fights and has some bad KO losses.

                But in terms of quantity i.e. number of top opponents faced, yes without a doubt.

                During his title run only Salita (now a promoter) was ranked out of the top-10: Kotelnik (WBA), Salita*, Malinaggi, Maidana, McCloskey (#10), Judah (IBF), Peterson**, Garcia.

                That's 7 out of 8 fights. You don't see that anymore tbh. He later added Collazo, Alexander and Algieri to his resume. Losses to Canelo and Crawford too.

                I agree with TS that Khan was stiffed against Peterson, who was on synthetic testosterone anyway. Still to this day I think that should be given as a DQ win for Khan or a NC. And it should have been a 3-belt unification with Garcia and a 1v2. Garcia's reign at 140 should have started with that fight. At least Ring correctly had it for their vacant title.

                Khan isn't HOF. If he wins a title in this stacked 147 division then yeah, but that's not happening. If he was more active and had added some names to his resume then he could perhaps have built such a deep resume that he'd get in but he hasn't done that either. Big wins could have been Kell Brook, D. Garcia rematch, J. Vargas, Broner, Maidana rematch (not that I'd favour him in all those fights). I always felt he had the beating of Tim Bradley also, Tim swerved Khan to go the WBO route to fight Pac, and it ultimately worked out for him and his legacy. But I think Tim knew Khan at 140 was too big and fast for him.

                Khan isnt just a chin problem, hes like mid career Wlad, its a combination of chin and inability to deal with pressure.

                He got sparked out every single time he stepped up to elite competition in the last 10 years. Maidana is the last A level guy he fought without being sparked out. I think Bradley would get to him.

                  I think we can all agree that it was a great match up at 140 and all the fans wanted to see it. It would have crowned a new lineal champ after Pac vacated.

                  There was at least 2 year window in which it could have happened and we all know Khan wanted it after he called out Bradley to his face at some fight. If Bradley really believed he could win he would have beaten Khan and then gone on to fight Pac, Marquez, Vargas etc.

                  It would have been a close fight and I wouldn't have cared about who won as I liked both fighters. I just wanted to see it happen and I know who I blame for it not happening.

                    Winning is the goal. Fighting quality competition and losing is not that great. A resume littered with L's is not enviable.

                      Would anyone even consider him an active fighter?
