    Khan barely even fights anymore.. His best days are long gone...

    He had 1 fight in 2013, 2 in 14, 1 in 15, 1 in 16, 0 in 17 & 2 in 2018... He's a part timer who for some reason is able to cash in on a very hit & miss career even today still.. He hasn't held a major belt for 8 years! Let that sink in folks... He looked like **** versus Vargas too! This fight is just a marketing promotion for Crawford & has no real relevance to the boxing landscape like Linares Loma had... Khan should be retired TBH It does nothing for Crawford really other than give his dumb fans lines like 'Khan beat Alexander, Maidana.. So Crawford>Loma doe' etc etc

    But anyone with a brain can see Khan is spent force at WW..

    Linares has more layers to him. He is just a better all-round boxer, Khan is/was lightning quick but he didn't really develop into an elite guy in terms of skill. Linares is levels above Khan, IMO, but I can see the point you're making also.

    The hate is real. Khan would destroy all 4 fighters linares lost to and maybe even beat lomachenko due to styles matchup. However, linares would get fked in the ass by Garcia and Canelo.

    Khan is delusional. Linares probably acknowledges his limits. Khan feels like even he get KTFO again. Will be back again making excuses for his loss or what not and feels he is still the best in the world.That he sells out stadiums etc. Ridiculous!

    For me the biggest difference, besides Linares accomplishing more, is the difference in ego and entitlement.

    His chin also, as fragile as it is, is not Amir Khan-level. When it comes to glass jaws, Khan is truly in a league of his own.
