    Not making a poll, just want peoples opinions.

    Based on Khan getting alot of Hate for being a hype job after his close loss to Peterson.

    Are his wins over Judah and Malignaggi underrated given there performances Post defeat,

    Also the Manner in which Khan won, KO'ing both and barely losing around.

    You have to admit, Khan's Style is a nightmare for Slick Boxers. Because he's able to just fly in with his height and reach and offload 5 punch flurries.

    Malignaggi, probably.

    Judah, not really.

    Malignaggi performance I have always loved, I actually think that is his best performance of his career (along with Kotelnik). Great display of the offensive jab and handspeed.

    Like I said with Judah, not really. Judah will continue to look great against (I don't like labelling boxers as the following) but C/B- level boxers, but up against world class, young, fresh, hungry boxers...he will continue to fold mentally.

    No offence but the guy paulie beat ****ing sucked big time, first time I watched him and couldn't believe he was a world champion. That being said paulie was the underdog and good luck to him.

    Khan is much better than Paulie and always will be.

    I want to see Paulie v Judah at 147.

    This.

    Khan vs Malignaggi was one Amir's best performances.

    Amir has quite a good resume for a boxer his age. Kotelnik, Malignaggi, Maidana, Judah and arguably Peterson.

    Paulie was flat at 140, lost his legs. He hadn't had them since a while before he fought Hatton. Even when he beat Diaz, he used his sholder to force Diaz back and create punching room, rather than use his feet to manouver around him.

    147 seems to of given him a spring back which is vital when you consider his unorthodox defense. Now I think Khan beats Paulie no matter what weight, because he's faster and longer, but I don't think Khan beat the best of PM that night, I really don't.

    Judah is just so on and off it hard to gauge much from it, he's not in form for periods of time, more just single fights.

    I also agree that Malignaggi just seemed pretty burnt out by the time he fought Khan, he was coming off a busy 2 years and was having troubles with the weight. It's hard to raise a fighters victory with another fight when it was in a completely different weight class.

    you just proved how hard Khan gets it, because alot of people will agree with you.

    Judah and Malignaggi are tiny at welter so i really doubt that they were drained. They were simpy good fighters made to look terrible by khan.

    I don't believe they both were just in bad places. From what I saw, khan beats both of these guys easy any time they fight.

    Same with Kotelnik. Vgood fight, made to look ordinary by Khan.

    Kotelnik went on to prove he is a very good fighter in his match against alexander.

    Not really, to be honest. Paulie didn't exactly beat someone special. He STOPPED the guy, for crying out loud. Do you know how **** of a world champion you have to be for Paulie Malignaggi to **** up your face and stop you?

    Khan's win over Paulie was always pretty decent. Especially the manner in which he did it. What Paulie's done afterwards doesn't really enhance it that much, in my opinion. Because the moment he steps back in with a Khan level opponent (say, Alexander), he'll probably get beaten again. He hasn't really gone on to prove to be better than what what he was against Khan.

    Malignaggi didn't do anything so special. It was clear the Ukrainian was not the right champion.
    Malignaggi is still not with the Elite even holding such a title.
