Mayweather, Pacquiao and Marquez are ATGs, plus arguably Bradley might make it in there. Has any fighter in history been avoided by 3 to 4 ATGs or does Amir Khan reluctantly hold that quite revealing world record at this point?

Has Amir Khan Been Avoided By More ATGs Than Any Other Fighter In History?

Did Khan earn a shot at Mayweather/Pacquiao/Marquez? I don't believe so. Just being popular isn't enough to claim duck.

Khan beat Antonio Barrera so they were all shook.
Yes Khan will lose to May and Pac most likely, but then Maidana was likely to be beaten too or Jessie Vargas.
What they feared was Khan's speed and his ability to accumulate early rounds. He was a high risk and low reward type of fighter.
Pac has sparred Khan and many accounts it was even. There is footage where Khan does well VS Pac, but then it is sparring.
Amir Khan has beaten:
Antonio Barrera (Revenge for Prince Naz Biatch)
Mailliangni
Maidana Falklands Islands forever British baby
Judah
Synthetic Testosterone cheated him
Julio Diaz
Collazo
Alexander
Algerri
Don't forget Salaita the Jewish hope
He did lose to Prescott, Danny Garcia and Ginger though

Khan did himself no favours at the time. He was too content cherry picking his own opposition to earn a title shot. He backed out of a fight with Broner, so Broner fought Maidana who then beat Broner to earn his shot at Mayweather.
Had Khan had the balls to fight Broner then he would of likely beaten him and may have been the guy Mayweather chose to fight next. Instead Khan picked Alexander and even then backed out of the fight which meant Porter stepped in and beat Alexander.
Khan then wasted a year and came back to beat Alexander again who of course was coming off a loss to Porter and Porter of course lost to Brook in the meantime so even a win over Alexander then was garbage and did nothing for Khan.
Khan then tried to fight Pac instead and fought Algieri and looked awful in doing so when Pac had dominated Algieri. So again Khan made simply didn't make a strong case to deserve a shot.

Some people are saying Khan isn't deserving lol, more deserving than Vargas, Horn, Algeri, Rios, Berto, Gurrero, and Ortiz
