    Opposition as in holding all the aces as in
    Call for ring size
    Venue
    Promotion
    Reach
    Height
    Weight
    Certain point in one's career
    Not to mention run gauntlets and jump through hoops and not to mention rehydration clauses

    I don't know what to say lol I don't like Khan but he has a very solid cv. His title fights have been against more hofs than ggg so I think his title fights were against better opposition, Khan fought ggg's best opponent so let's take Canelo out of there. Maidiana berrera is better than Jacobs liemeux. what you are getting at wasn't even mentioned in the thread.

    GGG > Khan. It's pretty obvious.

    At the time everybody was going on about Geale, Macklin, Murray and even Rubio. Now they're handily downplayed and forgotten.

    Barrera is a HOF and maidana gave mayweather a close fight! For me jacobs and lemmy will never be in the hof

    The main thing here is that Canelo and Barrera were ranked far higher in their primes P4P than the other fighters you mention and Barrera was no lightweight.

    Barrera was not a great lightweight and never beat anyone with Khan`s height, Maidana fought far better v Floyd.

    Maidana was far easier to hit in the Khan fight than in the Floyd bouts, his defense was awful compared to Jacobs v GGG.

    Given Khan's chin I agree.
