    The part about Khan possessing superior skills (as opposed to just athletic gifts) was what struck me as particularly controversial if not outright wrong there.

    Yeah, I agree it's bold statement and might be wrong. It's the controversial opinion thread after all. ;)

    Like someone said, the skills part. But yeah, it's the thread subject after all. :good

    My opinion on him is, his boxing or outboxing of opponents is overrated. We even had people claiming he could outbox a Mayweather, etc if he kept it at long range. But the fact is, if he was so good at outboxing people, or keeping it at long range, he wouldn't caught with avoidable shots (this is were his chin comes in). He wouldn't be getting caught by Maidana, he wouldn't be running from Peterson if he was so good at keeping the bout at long distance.

    I would have no problem in confidently saying that Bradley has more in his arsenal in terms of skills in comparison to Khan. Bradley actually moves his head for one. I could go on, but it is the controversial thread for a reason. :thumbsup

    Pac hasn't impressed me since the cotto fight.

    Haye will never fight another klitchko

    Khan is not coming back to the height he was at

    Canelo will burn himself out before long

    Gamboa might as well retire if he doesn't change his ways

    Sergio would have beat bhop in there primes

    Klitchko haters are slightly rascist whether the realise it or not
