    Canelo who's ears were being boxed off before the current SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION caught him with a flush bomb??? What story does that tell?? Im curious.

    Garcia who's face was being ripped off before he lands a check left hook counter while Danny's eyes were shut and head was pointed at the ground?? Goodluck, he needed it.

    Prescott from....12yrs ago?

    Lamont PEDerson was roided to the gills. Got dropped twice in the first round. And needed his hometown ref and judges to bail him out. HBO was right, that was a 8-4 fight.

    You now what's also truly amazing?

    That resume is gold-plated......and not a single one of these guys has outboxed him over 12rds. THINK ABOUT THAT.

    Canelo, marvelous boxer, outboxed Cotto, Lara, GGG. Yet he could not box with Amir Khan. Blows my mind.

    Pacquiao got ktfo when he was a baby.

    The last KO was in a legendary WAR whereby two warriors went to kill each other in a brutal slug to end the quadruple (4 fights) rivalry.

    Duran come man he was a small guy moving up in weight against some legendary Americans in Hearns and Leonard..

    Lewis come on man. It's Heavyweights one shots can end it at anytime you know that.

    What makes Khan case unique is each fight I have seen him he does the bambi legs shuffle. The opponents are not even legendary status just average to world class level boxers but not legendary.

    He makes average punchers look like monster punchers for some reason. Get it together mate.

    He was not boxing of Canelo’s ears at all. Only those who don’t understand boxing think he was winning the fight. Canelo was setting him up all night. Canelo is a patient counterpuncher.

    As for Danny Garcia he was underrated by people going into the fight. . The counterpunch left hook he caught Khan with he had been looking for from the 1st round. It’s frankly silly to call it a lucky punch as that is Garcia’s honey punch which has stopped several people. Don’t remember Khan lobbying for a rematch. Garcia wrecked him and he has never been the same.

    He was boxing Clenelo's ears off and piling up rounds. Setting up a man doesn't win rounds. But yes, Clen landed a crushing bomb. Khan, a welterweight may have survived it from another fighter but couldn't handle it from roided out battle tank that became the current SMW champion.

    And yes, Garcia was looking for that counter right hook early on. He's still lucky to have landed it. Just a wild bomb, eyes shut, face pointed to the ground, windmill. He looked for it all night against Thurman and Porter too but never got lucky. Khan meanwhile had Danny's face coming apart in ways that Thurman and Porter never did.

    Listen, I know Khan is flawed man, but despite having deep flaws he's never been outboxed. If Crawford outboxes Amir I'll be impressed.

    Interesting how you can get creative and justify those KO’s but can’t seem to muster up the same effort for khans ko losses?

    Let me help you out. Khan was ko’d when he was caught early by Prescott at LW where he was underweight. He got ktfo by the current roided super middleweight champ, that’s a better justification than even Duran getting ktfo by hearns. He got caught by Garcia’s money punch which also floored iron chin morales.

    So these atgs get a break for their ko losses but god forbid Khan gets ktfo by a roided Mexican smw tank. Must make him a garbage fighter and discount all his other great wins and amazing performances.

    You know what other atgs got ktfo? RJJ, hearns, Morales - guess we can get creative with the excuses for these guys too.

    First of all only 1 of the official judges had Khan ahead the other 2 had Canelo ahead at the time of the stoppage. Fighters at Lightweight have floored Khan as have fighters at Light Welterweight and Welterweight . In fact other fighters in these lower divisions have knocked Khan out cold. So please don’t make it seem extra ordinary that Canelo clocked him. Khan is chimney which is an objective fact!

    Garcia clocked Khan with a left hook which put Khan down heavily not right hook or more correctly right cross.

    Porter and Thurman fights were narrow and split decision defeats for Garcia both fights I and a lot of others thought Danny Garcia won.

    Yes Khan is deeply flawed I agree but to say he cannot be outboxed is wrong. Just because he has fast hands does not mean he cannot be outboxed. Lamont Peterson ended up outboxing and outhustling him, Danny Garcia our fought him, Canelo and Prescott outpunched him. The title of this thread is about Khan’s resume/record and all I am doing is putting his so called best record in boxing in perspective. He has not got the best record at all.

    Doesn’t change anything I said on this thread.

    P4p 1 is suppose to beat khan.

    But I still don’t understand the hate. Khan fights the best competition outside of Kell Brook and to me it’s more because he don’t like Brook and doesn’t want to give him that payday and satisfaction of beating him.

    But in all his fights, khan shows so much heart, takes in the best and never in a boring match. His resume is also still one of the best in boxing.

    I don’t know where he goes from here. If I was his manager, I’d try to meet Loma at 140, I think that’s a winnable fight for him.

    Khan simply could not deal with Crawford’s power. Take Crawford’s power away from him and that would have been a competitive boxing match, but soon as you add the power, it hurts khan more, zaps his own power away from the wobbly legs, slows down his thoughts and reflexes and makes him more cautious.

    Khan doesn't have the equalizer to swing the fight his way.

    Example power to hurt his opponent.

    That's why he always flounders around the ring because of his inability to back up his opponents with his punches.

    Most of the legend had that equalizer even if they are the underdog in the fight the fight can swing either way. Back and forth affair!

    But with Khan it's not the case.

    It's time to give it a rest at this point.

    As talented as he is he doesn't have enough at the pro level.

    Khan is a just an opponent/ a loser.

    You shouldn't get props for being a loser. Chisora doesn't get any.

    Khans a glass jawed comedy act bum who's also now a quitter.
