    He wasnt a bum- hell he went to the olympics and he beat some very good pros .Was he great? No.
    I just remember always watching him early in his career and he always left that chin up in the air.
    Great speed though. But horrible chin.

    To be fair Khan is a class or two above Broner! Broner is more Victor ortiz level. Broner should fight Ortiz for biggest loser.

    Khan is a world level fighter. Everytime he has stepped up to elite level he has showed flashes of belonging there but ultimately come up short.

    He has certain attributes that put him at elite level but unfortunately he didn't have enough tools defensively to be considered great.

    It's ok, he's had a great career won titles and medals and the Crawford fight aside he's always shown bravery and been a warrior. I think maybe he did quit against Crawford that's a sign of his age and lack of hunger. He will probably look for another payday or two and retire.

    There’s no real hype around him for years.
    He was a top guy in like 2011-2012. Soon as Garcia ko’d him he hasn’t been the same. How he’s got big fights still is surprising

    Khan lost every time he stepped up and has been brutally KOed so many times I can’t even keep count. Khan has no Chin, no Ring IQ, no stamina, and no heart. None. He flat out quit against Crawford because he was headed towards another brutal KO loss.

    Khan's always been a B-level fighter at absolute best.
