    Nope.

    Maybe after the Malignaggi bout his skills were overrated. However, after the clear vulnerability he displayed against Maidana and Peterson, I don't really see the general crowd overrating him anymore.

    Yes. He is very good in certain areas but he is woefully one dimensional and that just won't cut it at top level.

    Underrated by haters
    Worshipped and overrated by same ethnic fans (same as philipino's with Pac)
    Rated pretty evenly by boxing fans.

    Has his flaws.
    Has done great at 140 (shame we didn't get to see the Bradley fight)

    Will be top 10 in 147, but I don't know whether he will reach the top of 147.

    Once Mayweather & Pacquiao retire who will be up there? Khan for sure...

    First big fight at 147? Ortiz Brook Alexander Bradley (early/mid 2013)

    We can start talking Mayweather later on...

    nah, he was an amature phenom, winning a silver @ 17. A good pro with a slim chance of becoming a legit top 10 p4p.

    But he has serious weakness and seems to have a very bad management team around him.

    You got to support your people, Khan is a British Muslim of Pak istani decent just like me.

    We fear no one accept Allah, boxing is a cool sport to display that.

    Not really. He's matured as a boxer and has done what most said he wouldn't. He talks an unholy amount of garbage because he's slightly twp.
