No announcement yet.
Ring Magazine has moved Khan to #2 at welterweight. Fair?

After Khan beats Garcia and becomes the WBC champ (the only belt that matters), he can face Manny Pac.
All the angry Khan haters are having a mental breakdown
You can't stop the rise of Lord Commander Khan Snow aka the Prince Who Was Promised
Moving up paid him $$$, that's all.
Khan has achieved well beyond his ability at both 147 and 155 but only financially
As a boxer he was average at 147 and hopeless at 155.
When did he last hold a belt, 2011?

Everyone seems to agree that it is beyond ridiculous that Khan is ranked above guys he's lost to, above other champions in the division, above guys who's been in the division their whole careers - despite only having fought one fringe contender in his entire 147 lbs career.

With Pac and Floyd gone and Bradley needing a win (I still have him no. 1 though) who is clearly going to supersede Khan? I can only name Brook cause of his IBF belt. Who else? Porter? Possibly. Thurman? No. Spence? No. Algieri? No. Anyone else? No.
So Khan at number 2 isn't that bad. I don't agree with it but then I'd only have him slightly lower.

Khan isnt in the top 6
Entertaining gatekeeper and nothing more
Should retire but needs at least 6 months off before facing a can then a fringe prospect
If still up for it, he will get knocked out by anyone in the top 5 after that
He's done and everyone knew it years agoLast edited by Tomjas; 05-22-2016, 06:06 AM.

Thurman has wins over Guerrero, Chaves, Zaveck, Karass, Collazo and Diaz. So on top of what Khan has at the weight, Thurman has all those other guys.
Both of those guys should be ranked considerably higher than Khan.
Add Garcia to that as well. not only did he beat khan, though at another weight, he also beat a guy that beat Khan + Guerrero + wbc belt.
Spence would smoke Khan, so based on that alone he should be ranked higher.
