    lol prime/ non prime, Ali was hit plenty... and you need to focus on the calibre of opponents as well because Wilder has bad skills and could barely touch Fury...

    So are you talking about prime Ali who toyed with tomato cans? Or guys that could actually land?

    Khan fought high calibre opponents, and obviously got tagged.

    I don't buy the idea that Ali was any less hittable than Khan I think you are losing objectivity because it's "muhammed ali"

    I'm not convinced Khan's glass jaw reputation is totally deserved (although it is obviously a widely held view) - his chin looked okay whilst taking a lot of punishment from Maidana, for example, and I doubt many boxers would have got up from Canelo's KO punch. I think you could argue his losses to Garcia and Canelo were down in part to defensive naivety / flaws. I'm still a big Khan fan and love watching him fight.

    In order:

    Loma (The highest level of skill in the sport, borderline ATG skillset)
    Inoue (Very high level compared to his contemporaries in his weight class)
    Fury (High level of skill compared to his contemporaries in his weight class)
    Khan. (No)

    Ali and Fury slipped shots by an inch, Ali did this so he could counter not run away leaving him too far away like Khan to counter back Ali landed more counters than Khan landed in his career so has Canelo who is a far better counter puncher than Khan is and a far more skilled fighter despite the difference in speed.

    Khan was far too easy to hit flush, look how Canelo takes the sting out of shots by moving with them, also Khan hasd no business being in the ring with a middleweight after a lightweight knocked him out, he`s delusional.
