if khan was to beat lucas matthyse, how would you rank his reign at LWW

Above brad and judah. Below tszyu and hatton.

If you want me to go back further it's below chavez and maybe on par with oscar.

 

Better than cotto imo.

Hatton unified, beat a prime paulie and also a shot castillo plus he beat some decent contenders before his shot.

 

Khan would then have Kotelnik, Maidana, Judah, Matthyse and a few others. I'd have him ahead of Hatton and Cotto in the LWW stakes.

 

I'd rank it ahead of Hatton IMO. He'll have solid wins on Kotelnik, Paulie M, Maidana, Lucas, Judah and Bradley has ducked him. Solid resume in a pretty stacked division when he entered

 

On a par with Hatton's, who's pre-Tszyu career is underrated but post-Tszyu overrated.

Like bazza said, Kotelnik, Malignaggi, Maidana, Judah, McCloskey and Judah is a decent slate..... throw Matthysse in there and it's impressive.

Phillips
Tackie
Magee
Tszyu
Maussa
Urango
Castillo
Malignaggi

Maussa was a bum, albeit better than Salita.... Hatton has the best individual win in Tszyu, but a couple of those wins are favourable stylistically, though that can be said for Amir too.

Plus, Hatton was the one who didn't want to know his #1 contender. Amir's #1 contender/joint top dog has gone into hiding.

 

Id have him ahead of Hatton anyway.

 

:deal

It would be a good slate, but hardly Locche-esque is it?

Anyway, below Muangsurin.

 

In the modern, split title, Americans get paid loads to fight bums on HBO era it's not to be sniffed at.

Might be worth a thread, the top 10 resumes of active fighters - I doubt Khan is all that far away.

 

Kotelnik UD
Salita TKO 1
Malignaggi TKO 11
Maidana UD
McCloskey TKO 6
Judah TKO 5

Matthyse .....................

Its by no means a bad looking resume to be fair , its actually a good platform to go and look for bigger names and fights up @47

The fact Bradley is not on there is not Khan's fault so that is pretty irrelevant , Alexander isnt the fighter the boxing world thought he might of been so again he's on hold too , at least until he finds some form , he could potentialy fight Berto , Mayweather , Cotto , Marquez , and the likes , the next 3 years should have Khan fighting the sports elite so lets re evaluate then .

 

Joking about what? Paulie being prime? Castillo being shot? Or the pre title names being decent?

 

Good rather than great. Not really his fault he didn't get the defining fight though, is it? Unfortunate.

 

Paulie is literally a useless fighter. He does nothing well other than getting punched in the face. He evidently lost against Ngoudjo, arguably against Ndou the 2nd time as well.
