    Khan has some excellent wins. If he hadn't beaten Tyzu id almost say that Khan has better wins than Hatton.

    Hes already achieved more on the world scene than enzo or woods and that's a not a diss on them. PLus khan has time left he wont beat floyd but he could regroup and still beat some decent fighters

    Khan has some good wins, but not as good as Hatton. Obviously Tyzu is his best but he also has a good win over Collazo at welterweight albeit's a close one. Hatton also beat Urango,Maussa,Castillo and Malignaggi.
    Khan's best wins are Maidana, Kotelnik, Malignaggi, Judah and Julio Diaz. I think Hatton beats everybody that Khan has (Maidana's a tough one though), but i cant see Khan beating Carlos Maussa. He's too big a puncher, but i think Khan beats the rest of them bar Tzyu and maybe Collazo.
    I would say Hatton's career is better than Khans so far, but Amir still has time on his side.

    Why don't you leave British Forum alone and post this in the General, you will get a much bigger response there.

    There are actually normal posters here who want a good boxing discussion, you ruin it for them.

    i doubt it very much when in every thread mentioning Froch he gets dissed and minimized despite being a great fighter with massive achievements, our best in recent years by far. The only current fighter we can really be proud of, yet people have a severe hatred for him.

    Enzo has real power, and was a beast back in the day - his performance against the very good Braithwaite was very impressive. and he had a good 2013. He like Khan made a similar number of defences/ was at world title level for a similar amount of time. And like khan he has a glass jaw and has been knocked out many times, theyve had a similar career. Whereas I think Maccirinelli is the better fighter with far more power, their resumes are similar cause they are lacking good wins.

    Witters best wins - Corley, Harris, Kotelnik
    Khans best wins - Maidana, Malignaggi, Kotelnik
    Maccirinelli's best wins - Braithwaite, Dominguez, Hobson

    Similar ^^^^^ thats why those 3 will go down as the same

    Macc and Witter lost their title to top fighters in Haye and Bradley. Khan lost his to the Lamont Peterson!!! haha

    at the end of the day

    Mailganggi is really feather fisted with plent of losses
    Maidana is average and limited, lost every round to devon alexander! ffs
    Kotelnik is average and feather fisted and lost to guys like Mbaye and witter

    They are the only 'average' wins worth noting^^^^
    you can't say Judah cause he was completely past his best, had sturggled with a african and lost to matthysse in his previous fights, had loads of losses

    all the rest of his wins, were against guys with names that were way past their best - judah, barrera... or just total bums like Mccloskey and Salita

    Khan has never been the underdog in any fight, never fought the best in his division - the top 3 guys, never fought a undefeated top elite fighter in his prime, theres no good wins there at all, hes had careful matchmaking throughout his career

    at the end of the day
    He didnt last long at world title level because he wasnt good enough
    not even the biggest deluded khan fan boy can deny that

    I would say Clinton Woods is above Khan as he fought the best of his era. Woods had about 10 title fights and split 3 good fights with Glen Johnson. You could even argue Woods won the first fight when it got called a draw. The second fight Johnson outclassed him, but Johnson went on to have his best year in the sport after that and Woods did enough to win the 3rd fight. He also beat unbeaten American Rico Hoye for the IBF title and had another two good wins over Julio Cesar Gonzales. Woods also fought the likes of Jones Jnr, Tarver and Cloud, but came up short in those fights. What also makes Woods better than Khan at this moment of time IMO is Clinton beat everybody at domestic and European level and Khan never done that in fact Khan avoided his domestic rivals in Jon Thaxton and John Murray and we know he got a gift in the Willie Limond fight.
    As i said before Khan has had some really good wins, but he's AVOIDED a lot of tough challenges and had a few GIFTS along the way and it's for that reason i think Woods has been the better champion, but Khan still has time on his side.

    Off topic! Too much or whatever your calling yourself? Your knowledge of fighters in that is good, but you let yourself down with the racist comments and i hope you can see beyond that nonsense because you could actually be one of the better poster's. So turn it up man.

    Yes it was really careful matchmaking against the "average" Maidana, who almost everyone picked to KO Khan brutally(after accusing Khan of ducking him), who you say lost every round to Alexander, who got a gift against the "average" Kotelnik, who Khan dominated, and who beat Maidana

    I suppose when you say Judah struggled with "an african" you are talking about the very under-rated Kaizer Mabuza? Judah also went on to KO the unbeaten Vernon Paris and give Garcia a hell of a harder time then he gave Khan, who dominated him without a problem

    don't know why I'm bothering with a troll though...

    Im white you thick moron.
    Fan of british fighters. Hatton being one of my favs.

    I didn't put him in with calzaghe my favourite fighter off all time or Froch
    I agree he may well be shot but he has some good wins. and are you calling Maidana feather fisted? cause Khan beat him too.

    Your a tool

    I'm not so sure Khan's list of wins is worse than Haye's
