Now that most British fighters are getting exposed when they step up. Khan went to the US a young lad and did quite well for a lad from Bolton. Your thoughts?
It depends on the context of stock rising!! If you are on about his stock at the minute then it is falling, he has looked like he is on the slide for a while now even though he is still young. But if you mean looking at what he has achieved throughout his career and the wins he has under his belt against other British fighters who were thought to go on to achieve big things but failed. For example Kevin Mitchell has failed to win a world title so far in his career even when most thought he had the ability to do just that, so looking back at their careers so far then Khan's stock will have risen against Kevin's because he has held wins over Maidana and Malignaggi.
i see what you're saying op but, sadly it's falling because his performances have declined however, in the future revisionists will probably view him more favourably
He hasn't fought in the past year for his stock to rise. I still think the chances of a Mayweather showdown are remote.
I look at his resume though, beat paulie.. decent win... beat maidana decent win... then what else? who else has he beat to have this rep as a guy taking on the best lol lost to peterson, lost to garcia lost to prescott ...
Exactly, he's had his career handed to him on a plate compared to other fighters. Yet he's still been beat 3 times. Takes on the best my arse.
Khan's last good fight was against Judah a couple of years back. I think he has achieved a great deal in his career but his stock is definitely on the decline - in fact, I think the Collazo fight is make or break.
Dont think anyone could care less about khan. I expect him to loose vs collazo by stoppage. Maybe brook will then Not fight porter and instead fight khan or beat porter and defend vs khan.
fair frankly speaking... khan's stock dropped then hit a plateau after his series of unconvincing wins... khan has got all to prove.... if he wins against collazo in my eyes his stock will rise however, haters gonna hate and not gonna acknowledge his win saying it was against a no body (lol)... if he loses the only fight out there is brook
Yup, lost... one fight later was in a world title fight lol Other fighters don't get that... his olympic medal did him alot of favours
After the Prescot lost, he really did start to rebuild and had some decent wins against Kotelnik, Malignaggi, Maidana, Judah The trouble started with that loss to Peterson (Which I thought he was a little unlucky to lose that fight) He hasn't been the same since. He is caught up between two styles and this isn't doing him any favours
So what he achieved helped him to achieve more! Funny that! Khan has been in with some of the best in the division lost a few but is still a world level fighter and has proved that over and over again
