    There will be names to fill the division though, maybe not as big as the ones you've mentioned as every era has a downperiod. But whos to say that a Mike Jones, Brad Solomon or Canelo cannot settle in the WW division and be this generations great in the weightclass. The bottomline is Khan has to go down as this generations great at his weightclass to be even remotely classed as an ATG Brit.

    Thats an indication that he won't ever be close to being the best...the best never avoid the biggest challenge in front of them, they actively seek it out

    Obviously I don't think that, in fact I don't agree with any of them as criticisms of him.

    He has yet to really put in a sensational, dominant performance in against these B grade fighters.

    You want to see the look of greatness from a guy in his early twenties, go and watch a young Naz turn on the style against the B class fighters that he smoked early in his career (medina, robinson,alicea, badillo, Tom Jonson)

    Complete A grade fighters at the weight are men like Tszyu or JCC....Bradley doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as these men. The fact of the matter is that at the moment there aren't enough quality fighters at LWW or WW for Khan to fight and beat to enable him to be elevated to ATG status.Its not the kids fault, its just the way it is.

    As much potential as AK has, he has a long way to become the best ever British fighter. So much can / has happened in his short career to date. We will have to wait and see how the next 5 years pan out for him....if turns into a Pacquiao clone then yes he will be but anything short of that and for me personally, I think this accolade should belong to Lennox Lewis.
