    Mayweather fans? Khan never avanged this loss, then went onto to further losses that he didn`t avenge. (leaving out the much bigger Canelo)

    Now or when Roy Jones was fighting? If Mike Tyson fought at welter he would have been just as quick.

    The Prescott loss was Harrison`s fault, he should have taught Khan to feint, Roach wa to blame for the Garcia loss, he didn`t teach Khan to move his head after punching, however Roach trained Manny who was far better schooled than Khan, Mayweather never fought Khan.

    He always came in swinging leaving himself wide open to a counter puncher, Thurman was far better v Garcia, he flooded the center line with combos making himself harder to counter, Thurman would have destroyed Khan at welter.

    Always funny when Khan fans make excuses for their hero, while everyone else knows he's a glass jawed fraud.

    Khan is undeniably glass jawed but still went in with big punchers even if he did get smashed. Conor benn on the other hand won’t go anywhere near anyone with even a 40% ko ratio. Khan > Benn in every conceivable way

    Every conceivable way? Khan went years without a KO because of crappy body mechanics Benn would destroy him.

    He would have beat him in his prime to, Khan always made mistakes and didn`t use feints, he never lost that amatuer style, very overrated fighter.

    True he never really altered his style to the pro game. He just always relied on his speed much like how a big puncher like Wilder neglected learning other skills and just relied on power. That inability to develop as a fighter was always his biggest failing.

    He did show some changes under Hunter when he trained in the US and trained all year round but he couldn't maintain that discipline and focus and regressed back to his old amateur style. Which is a shame I actually had some hope for him then because for the first time it looked like he was learning other skills. He started counter punching, throwing the lead right and even manipulating opponents guard but he only really did that for 2 fights and then it was back to the same old, get off first, blitz you with speed, move and repeat.
