    If you look at the list of fighters GGG fought in title fights were they of a better standard than the fighters Khan fought in title fights?

    What did Barrera
    Paulie
    Zab
    Kotelink
    Alexander
    Hell even Algeria as of yet what did any of them really do after Khan beat them nothing they were nearing the end / on the slide
    Its called clever match making
    The others that beat him were all a level above more feathers in their cap
    For a one trick pony Khan done very well

    ^ You missed Maidana off your list.

    Maidana wasn’t on the slide when he fought Khan, he was on the rise.

    After being dropped and out boxed by Khan Maidana went on to basically beat up and decision Floyd Mayweather.

    Maidana is probably Khan’s best win.

    You do know what it took a b+ without Garcia earning mediocre pay maidana that khan fought tooth and nail not to fight to actually hsppen and it werent khans balls let me asure you
    Now do you think the chino v may chino loses to a what ever version of Khan
    Chino even in retirement screamed for the rematch
    What came back silence
    Why not rematch chino 2.0
    And show Floyd how easily you handled him than he did and use that to get the fight why
    Because we all know that chino derails shyte Prescott style
    I missed him off for this very reason

    Maidana fought with far more savvy v Floyd than he did v Khan and Amir wasn`t very good in that bout getting caught time and again.

    I feel Jacobs was better than Khan`s opponents and Canelo, Khan fought Canelo also but was overpowered, GGG fought better v Canelo than Khan did and I`m talking about the power diffeence, GGG landed more jabs against Canelo than Khan did, his second fight v Canelo was a classic.

    You’re right, of course, Khan didn’t want any rematch with Maidana.

    Garcia did wonders with Maidana. If khan had fought the much improved version of Chino that Floyd fought then Khan would almost certainly have been knocked out.

    Khan was lucky to get through that fight with Maidana, but he did and he deserved the decision. It’s still his best win.

    Fair point i thought you ment combined, if your on about the best they have faced then i still think khan edges it but its a very fine margin. Glad you mentioned jackobs that man is so underratted, ggg absloutley smokes khan on quality of fights tho.
