Would Khan Be Avoided By The Elites of Any Era?

[FlatLine]

We're all au fait with the fact that Khan was avoided by at least 4 elite (or A-level) fighters to date - Mayweather, Marquez, Pacquiao and Bradley - so the logical question to ask, based upon this refusal by so many elite fighters to face Khan, is whether the fear factor Khan brings to the table would indeed reveal itself regardless of the era that Khan had been fighting in?

Would the elite fighters of any era in recorded history avoid Khan due to the inherent risk of defeat against his style, or are there any elites that you think would have faced him at his own weight division and therefore it's the "safety first" mindset of this generation which is to blame for so many high level fighters finding any way to escape a fight with Khan, in most cases so publicly that the avoiding is beyond any form of reasonable doubt or debate?

I'm sure Sugar Ray Leonard would have stabbed his good eye just to have an excuse to avoid King Khan.

[Willy Wanker]

Roberto Duran would have balloned up to 250 lbs on purpose because 185 lbs is a little too close to King Khan's weight.

Why speculate when we have it straight from the horses mouth?

Will khan fight any top 5 welterweight today?

he hasn't been a champion in 6 years. he hasn't dared to get in the ring for a welterweight title yet. it's been 6 years since he left 140 after being ktfo.

he wouldn't even fight a titile holder from his home country for a career high payday.


so to answer your question. No

why play fantasy boxing, when we can make current fights for khan right now

Will he ever face Spence? no
will he ever fight thurman? no
will he ever fight bud? no
will he ever fight brook? history says no

147 is loaded with prime fighters that are in his age group but for some reason. he avoids them all

[alexguiness]

I heard Ali enlisted with the Marines to avoid Khan...

[Metho_4u]

No... Khan sucks

[gauze]

ghengis khan? probably

[Elroy The Great]

while those past legends are quaking at the thought of being matched with khan, these present day guys are trouncing him

dana would have exacted revenge had they done a rematch.

Khan wouldn't be a titleholder in any other era. He probably wouldn't even be in the top 10.

Can you see Khan beating Leonard, Hearns, Duran, De la Hoya, Trinidad, etc? (I didn't include Hagler because I'm only listing welterweights).
