    Depends how you rank. I think he is a Future top 5 P4P, Currently the best 140 although should be ranked 2. P4P - 10-15

    By his fans yes.

    Personally I think Khan is very gifted but I don't see him being an ATG or a Top 5 P4P Boxer although he is still young he has a lot of flaws.

    indeed. he's a far ways off from peaking. give him time to fill in to his best performance. he got caught with a very stiff shot from Prescott-- it could have been anyone. If anything, Presscott was underrated.

    No. I don't see that many people praising him, he has a lot of haters and has earned respect through out-boxing Paulie, a great boxer, and doing what he did against Maidana which earned him fighter of the year. I don't think he is overrated at all.

    I do find it strange however that Bradley was so eager to get it on, but as soon as the fight is on the way way to getting made he decides he wants to wait? I will bet everything I own that if Khan came out and said that, he would of been called a coward, a ducker and everything else.

    I think the Madiana fight proved a lot of people wrong, he can take a shot. I think he beats bradley now

    In terms of opposition, it's been great. But his skills are overrated.

    Nahh, most people think he's a prety good fighter but not really a great one. Atleast not yet anyway... so he's rated prety well by everyone.

    In fact, all those top 140 pounders are rated just where they're supposed to be by the fans. All really good fighters, but no one who stands out as a special top p4p talent. Most fans can agree to this. The only time I ever see them overrated is when watching HBO doing their usual hype job work.
