    I think at Welterweight, Broner gives him a run for his money. He couldn't hurt Paulie or Maidana with numerous illegal shots. Two men that Khan hurt badly.

    Pretty good call for recent years. Miguel Canto and Ivan Calderon are also decent choices.

    Yeah, that's the choice I'd go with as well.

    I don't think Pep truly qualifies. Not a big hitter no, and not a high KO percentage. But KO percentages in general were lower then, probably as a result of the frequent activity level (possible hand injuries). He still scored 60+ knockouts.

    Far better than someone like Slapsie Rosenbloom, who was a great fighter despite his lack of power and slapping style.

    Nah. His KO % may have not been high but he was not feather-fisted either. Numerous other fighters around that era had similar or lower KO percentages.
