    Couldn't help noticing that according to Boxrec Khan is number 10 is the P4P rankings just behind Timothy Bradley. Now before anyone has a fit I know Boxrec is not the most reliable of sources so I'm not justifying it.

    Where do you guys think Khan ranks in the current P4P ratings? I would say he is probably in the top 20.

    I think Khan is top 15, not top 10 yet.

    There resume at 140 is very close now hard to split them I feel at 140 in terms of who is number one, the fact Bradley turned the fight down, maybe gives Khan the edge for the number one it is that close something like that can make me pick one over the other.

    But he is not top 10 p4p yet.

    Not in my top 10. He climbs above Timmy due to the blatant duck

    Either way I think he should be above Bradley but they are very close in the rankings in my opinion.

    Agree with BA. Top 15 is a fair shout.

    It doesn't work like that.

    The fact that Bradley blatantly ducked shouldn't knock his current achievements but I can see why it changes opinions of many.

    I'd have him above Bradley thats for sure.

    Bradley is overrated because he's an american and has a cornerman and calls him baby :rofl

    I think it does Khan has repeatedly tried to make the fight happen, only to be shunned. A 50-50 split, in America is pretty fair. And Timmy turned it down. I don't know how Amir is suppose to leapfrog him otherwise.

    Also, I think Khan's resume at 140 is slightly better. After Peterson, he has fought and beat pretty much every top 10 fighter bar Timmy, Lucas and Alexander (who simply doesn't warrant a shot)

    P4P is all subjective.

    And p4p is just a bit of fun anyway, You've got a solid top 5 of Pac, Floyd, JMM, Donaire and Martinez (not necessarily in that order) and then it's who you like.

    I wouldn't begrudge anyone having him at the lower end of their top 10 list.

    Subjective but based on records and achievement, not 'who called out who'.
