He will be remembered as a glass jawed fighter. Of that we can be sure. His accomplishments don't exactly stand him in good stead legacy wise, he hasn't and prob won't avenge any of his brutal losses - F the Peterson though, that was BS on several levels - he got run out of 135 title-less. He then got destroyed at 140 after picking up his title against a fairly weak title holder and then making a few sub par defences before and after getting a good win over Maidana. At 147 he has never held a title and looks unlikely to do so looking at the current landscape and he got highlight reel KO'd at Caneloweight. Hardly the stuff legend is made of is it? I say that and I quite like Amir. I find him pretty funny.
He never outboxed Julio Diaz. That was British home cooking all the way. Diaz worked Amir. This content is protected Chris Algieri worked him This content is protected Yet people believe Khan is some master boxer when he has been beaten silly by guys with 4% KO ratios.
For his lengthy history of ducking, you mean? ...from John Murray to Jon Thaxton, always conspicuously avoided people that were calling him out and/or in reasonable positions to get a fight with him but whose ratio of risk/reward was anothing other than 'sure win' or 'massive payday'.
People confuse Khan's speed for skill. He's actually very poor technically. Anyone with good timing has a chance to beat him.
Have you heard of a fighter named kell brook ? And what is the point saying if he had the attributes of 2 other fighters he would be incredible.if mallinaggi had ggg's punch power he would be incredible too but he doesnt
The GOAT Resume is still better than Brook's http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lka3ob1J5i1qdaaw6o1_500.gif
'Anyone with good timing'? Errr.....isn't that what boxers are trained to do? You make it sound so easy(!)
