    Zab is burnt toast as a fighter. He's been done for years. Khan 'destroyed' a 'name' only.
    Even Roach said Khan was in serious trouble against Maidana. Put it this way, Khan won't be offering Maidana a rematch. He knows he was lucky to get out of that fight on his feet.

    Khan has the tools for sure and recently his fights can't be criticized. he wanted Bradley and Morales and that didnt happen.

    Froch has a quality resume as well and i just think if he beats Ward will put him up there in p4p rankings and ahead of Khan.

    Got to agree there, Froch has the better record.

    Khan's got the biggest profile and he's always been big at the weights he's boxed at which he uses to his advantage well.i think Kevin Mitchell on his day is the most skillful brit boxer,and would be champ had he fought Rios instead of murray!

    Froch has fought and beaten some of the best fighters in his respective weight class.

    Khan has beaten.............................................. Maidana? I personally don't rate that as a win... was a draw for me without the bull**** point deduction from 'unfair and unfirm' Cortez

    And Khan hasn't?, he's consistently been fighting and beating top 10 guys in his division.

    His dominating wins over Kotelnik (who no one has ever beaten clearly before), and Judah (who had a belt and was coming off a KO win) are both impressive. I think you're being a bit unfair here.

    I don't rate the Judah win at all.... no credit

    Kotelnik.. yes.. i completely forgot about him. Good fighter. But i don't think Maidana and Kotelnik are better wins than Taylor, Abraham, Dirrel, Johnson, Pascal. Not a chance

    Maidana was actually the "lucky" one. The body shot that Khan hit him with had Maidana rolling around the canvas. He was lucky there were only 10 seconds to go before the round ended or another punch to the body would've been an early night. Khan was easily beating Maidana till that punch that turned around the fight late and Maidana still couldnt get the job done.

    Maidana certainly wasn't unlucky, he had a good late rally and is a warrior, but Khan was better throughout the fight, and he scored a knockdown.

    Put it this way, Maidana was lucky there were 10 seconds left in the round when he was rolling around the canvas in the 1st round. Secondly, if Judah is "burnt toast" explain how he was the IBF champ, beating a young solid fighter to have earned it.
