Khan has the handspeed to cause problems but his lack of boxing IQ would be found out. I'd still favour Lomachenko
Who is Khan's best win? I mean he's lost everytime he stepped up to genuine world class, outside of Malignaggi and old Judah.
Lomachenko would out box Khan, or is is Con?! Whatever, Lomachenko would knock him out....................
Those teenagers he fought back in Bolton This content is protected LOL, but really his master class against prime Devon Alexander had me believing he was on a comeback. This content is protected
Khan is slower than GRJ and he had no problem with his speed. Khan has a similar style to GRJ as well. Khan can hurt Loma though.
Na grj reminds me of broner or berto. He’s flashy fast. If you seen khan vs MAB, malignagi, Devon Alexander, Guy was a beast. So underrated cos of his chin. If I was his matchmaker, he would be undefeated, he can still beat elites just not punchers.
Maidana, Alexander, Collazo, Diaz. He has a pretty solid resume. Canelo loss barely counts. Peterson was a robbery. Then we're left with 2 KO losses in Garcia and Prescott. If Khan didnt care about being a pleasing fighter to watch, he would just throw, fall and clinch and repeat to victory.
let's not pretend Khan didnt have solid wins at 140 and 147: Kotelnik and Malignaggi were solid wins for a very young fighter. Victory over prime Maidana was very solid and CANNOT be overlooked. The scalp of faded Judah was worth something. Victory over prime roid-monster Lamont Peterson was great (and yes, he wont that rotten hometown fight) Pitching a shutout over Collazo in his first 147lb fight was impressive. Dominating Devon Alexander at his own game was top notch. Was lighting up Danny Garcia until the counter left hook bombs ice'd him (for whatever that's worth) boxed well enough at MW vs Canelo before being annihilated. Prime 140 Khan was perhaps too big, long and fast for Lomachenko. Then again i could easily see Loma starching him with a single shot, winning all twelve rounds, or winning close.
LOL Loma moving up to 147 is equivalent to FM moving up to 154, 5 divisions. FM moving or fighting at 168 would be 7 divisions, not too many fighters have done that. So your counter post to the op is way off base. That being said, I think Loma could do well at 140, he may not have the pop to stop, but he has the skill to kill. The guy is becoming a special fighter. His career is on the right path. He's fighting the guys he needs, to be in the conversation with the best fighters in the past decade and beyond. Awesome fighter!
He would probably beat Khan badly, embarrassing him as much as he has everyone else. Then, a portion of the people that said he would lose to Khan because Khan is too big, would then say that the win means nothing because it's Amir Khan and he hasn't been an "A" boxer since Peterson exposed him 6 years ago. Rinse. Wash. Repeat.
Well outside of Maidana the fights you speak of where all at 147. Now let's be realistic, Khan is a solid enough fighter but the names you mention are all flawed as far as "elite" or "top level" victories are concerned. Maidana had already lost to Kotelnik and beaten by Alexander in much more comprehensive fashion, Collazo was a recovering alky, Alexander was dominated in his very next fight by club fighter Martinez and Diaz had no business at 147 in reality. Khan has been matched well throughout his career as far as supposed big wins are concerned, but at very top level he's been brushed aside.
I dont even count canelo loss, garcia win ok but that KO can happen to anyone. Rahman KO lewis. Those only top guys he lost to, prescott is not exactly a top guy and he was robbed off peterson.
