Thought I'd nip over to the general site for a bit and this is what I find. An absolute disgrace of a thread!
Khan had all the potential to be a good fighter, but he choose to put his chin out there in most of his important fights.
If Khan beats Crawford, I'll **** directly into my hat. Totally unnecessary fight. Get Khan out of the damn sport already. Underachiever like mad. Terrible chin and terrible ring IQ that keeps getting his bell rung. Also.....a 78 year old GGG beats any version of Khan.
Canelo? You count that as a loss? A roided up SMW knocking him out? Garcia? Garcia is a top WW with a mean left hook that also folded Morales. The only one you can really hold against him was Prescott and Prescott just caught him cold, and clean. The hate is real. Khan is a top level fighter. It's not just who they beat, its how they beat them. Has Ortiz ever had a performance half as good as Khan-Malignagi, Judah, Collazo, Alexander?
who has he beat and how? what hate? khan isnt even important enough to hate, if someone could even find a reason to hate him. hes good enough to beat some decent fighters and bad enough to lose to some, no different than ortiz. neither one belongs on any world beater list. seriously, what exactly has khan done in his career that seperates him from an ortiz and puts him with a crawford or spence, what? a top ww? nobody even brings up his name when talking meaningful fights at welter, or anywhere else for that matter. you like him, good for you, but hes not going to shake anything up at the end of his career when he couldnt get it done in his prime. that aint hate, thats reality.
The fact that he gets 0 credit. Maidana, Judah (coming off a winning streak and a win over Mathysee), Malignagi (still near prime and just beat Juan Diaz), Collazo, Alexander (only loss to Porter and Bradley), Algeiri (only loss to Pac), Diaz, Molina, Peterson prime on roids (robbery), Kotelnik. That is a VERY solid resume, very solid. Currently one of the best, that is a p4p top 15 resume. Its better than Crawfords for example. Crawford has Gamboa, Postol, Burns, Benavidez, Dolurme, Horn. Khan's win over Maidana is better than all of the above, Crawford has more quality wins but they're not much better, more or less the same. Consider when Khan fought them, they were still near prime. Guys like Paulie, Alexander, alexander, algeiri and Judah was a lot younger. Horn is Algeiri level, just has size but he couldn't use that size vs Crawford because they're more or less the same size.
ok, so hes just as good as the hundreds of fighters who werent good enough to be the best, but could still beat c level fighters. someone just posted the odds as 18-1, thats like questioning if khan is even a boxer. how much of a top boxer is he seen as if a 135lb fighter is 2.5-1 against a top welter but khan is 18-1? what does that tell you?
Just my view on it... - When rating a fighter, its not just who you beat, its also who you lost to. Golovkin toys with fighters of Prescotts level. Hes also not shown the vulnerabilities and shortcomings against sub par opposition that Khan has. - I had Golovkin beating Canelo pretty comfortably in the first fight. I really dont care what notoriously corrupt judges think from an inferior view think of of it. So in my view... he has beaten someone better than Maidana. All in all I find it hard to see how someone arrives at this conclusion when viewing their careers. Just my view though
Jacobs > maidana never used weight as an excuse lol you sure on that And let's not mention how he avoided Marcos like the plague and warranted kicking a dreaming to said fight all sad but true I'm afraid
Just to add my two cents to this dumbass thread, and state the obvious. Doesn't Golovkin going the distance twice and arguably beating Canelo twice, rank like, oh I don't know, a hell of a lot higher the being knocked out cold?
