You could make a solid case for Khan to be at #9 or 10. I was never really a fan but I was impressed last night. He just beat Judah to the punch every time. He mixed in combos and before Zab could respond he'd back out of range where he could see the punches coming and defend accordingly.
- He needs to beat Bradley first - and If he faces Maidana again, but this is seriously seriously risky, and beats him you have to have him in the top 10 - if not - allahuakbar. - There are probably a lot of boxers who are faster, but that speed he displayed last night was speedy gonalez himself - I couldn't believe it. - His jab is also of very good quality - very fast and precise - and he does a left-hand round-house hook these days...... - Good mature performance.
Thinking long and hard about it - you are right. So updated here: 1, Manny Pacquiao 2, Floyd Mayweather 3, Sergio Martinez 4, Nonito Donaire 5. Wladimir Klitchsko 6, Bernard Hopkins 7. Juan Manuel Marquez 8. Andre Ward 9. Mikkel Kessler 10. Carl Froch 11. Vitaly Klitchsko 12. David Haye 13. Amir Khan Honorable mention: Robert Guerrero, Adamek, Tarver, and Bute.
No, If Mercito isnt in the top 10 no way in hell is Khan top 10. Khan wins fight by hitting in the family jewels and running.
Not yet for me. I have him at #15: 1. Manny Pacquiao 2. Sergio Martinez 3. Nonito Donaire 4. Wladimir Klitschko 5. Juan Manuel Marquez 6. Vitali Klitschko 7. Andre Ward 8. Timothy Bradley 9. Miguel Cotto 10. Bernard Hopkins 11. Pongsaklek Wonjongkam 12. Giovani Segura 13. Yuriorkis Gamboa 14. Carl Froch 15. Amir Khan
I guess you can make an argument for Khan not being in the Top 10 with the likes of Gamboa and Cotto also in the mix.
your list nearly made me cry. yes Amir finally made it but wlad is 7? I hate the klit but he dont deserve 7. and I dont know if robert shouldbe there
Wlad deserves his place in the top 10. Over the last few years he's beaten all the nearest challengers convincingly and hence holds 3 of the 4 major belts! Its not his fault that the heavyweight divison is not as strong as it once was.
