(Was gonna write more but felt my comment was getting too long)
Amir does this in a lot of his fights if not all. & he was a 7 to 1 favorite to beat DSG. If your a 7 to 1 favorite, the consensus is your not fighting an elite fighter. That was a fight Khan was supposed to win. But let's talk his other fights that I don't consider elite competition to make the comparison more tailor made:
Prescott, Maidana, Peterson, Algieri. I think all these fighters at the time he fought them are on, at, or around the same level as Vanes, Nelson, Culcay, Akavov, & Sulecki at the time Andrade fought them.
He got KO'D by Prescott who has 18 losses. I think that's all I need to say there.
Maidana is the only name who maybe doesn't belong here. I think he was a more improved; an elite under Robert Garcia. But Khan almost got stopped & lost about 5 rounds on most cards against this Maidana, this caliber of fighter.
He also lost rounds against a PED'd Peterson.
& Algieri won 4 rounds against Khan.
Andrade got KD & lost 9 rounds collectively imo against 5 different opponents. & he's 5-0 (2 KO'S)
Khan has gotten KD twice, & lost 14 rounds more/less against 4 different opponents. & he's 3-1 (0 KO'S) But officially he's 2-2.
I used more opponents for him & Andrade still outperformed Khan against similar level of opposition.
Speed? I guess.. but nobody ever really compares their speed I honestly haven't given it much thought. But predictability definitely not. Their versatility isn't even comparible. He doesn't make the mistakes Khan makes & Khan is no where near as athletic to get away with the "mistakes" Andrade makes. Who finishes a fight as fresh as they did at the start? Andrade doesn't give back rounds the way Khan does. That's definitely not Bud & Andrade's only similarity. I doubt Bud himself would say that. We can agree to disagree but this is just my perspective on this.
