    He just wants these big paydays to cash out. Pac will break his KO streak if they fight, Brook would KO him, almost every top WW besides Bradley and Vargas would KO him. I just want this guy to go away, he went life and death with Algieri ffs.

    i'm not a Khan basher, I happen to think he's a good fighter, but he is becoming a joke, and overstates his significance as a fighter.

    He is a little funny. Youtube is full of videos of him doing a chicken dance and geting KTFO, yet dude pretends to be A side (god, I hate this term) in every fight :D

    He was a legit high rank fighter until the last few years (Algieri onwards). I think he has lost focus and once he retires he will dispear and enjoy his millions in Dubai.

    This is the problem with boxing fans today. They moan fighters don't fight eachother and then when they do, they still moan because the fighters that did fight the best loses. Look Khan is not the best, even though he is delusional, but the guy truly does fight the best fighters out there. Maybe for money, maybe for legacy ( delusional ) but at the end of the day he's fighting the best. If all the fighters fought the best then of course you would see more loses on the elites records, You would see the elites at times getting brutally knocked out, it's why the elites back in the early days had losses, but the difference was, they weren't ridiculed by boxing fans to the extent that boxers of today are ridiculed for having a loss. We as boxing fans are becoming the cancer of boxing because of the amount of pressure we put boxers in.

    The best fighters out there? Remind me who his last 5 fights were. Tell me who his best opponents are. And don't bring up Garcia who he was the HUGE favorite over.

    The man in your AV is. At least Khan has fought elite opposition across multiple weight classes.

    You're obsessed with Wilder. Not really Wilder's fault that Pedvetkin was a cheat now was it?

    That excuses his terrible opposition for 2 years+ ? Yeah ok. He's yet to defend his belt against a top 15 fighter.

    No need to go back five fights, i'll just name his last fight. Canelo.

    Oh and this huge favourite thing is stupid. That's like saying don't give Roy Jones credit over Bernard Hopkins back in the day because he was a huge favourite. Obviously careers shape out in the end. Khan was never as good as the hype, only because of his chin and power, which plays a huge factor in boxing, but Garcia has turned out to be with the elites in the WW division.

    Yep, one fight where he took to cash out. So who did he fight before that? yeah, that's what I thought. You're living off one fight he took that no one wanted to see, and a fight where if he lost he had an excuse.
