Now Amir Khan s Retired..?

Khan beat Paulie.
Pac ducked Paulie in 2009.

 

In all seriousness not the highly. He was marketed very well in the UK and for a short time after he beat Malignaggi and Maidana he was seen as a top 140lb fighter with the then very underrated Bradley seen as his only peer at that weight. But the Maidana win was the pinnacle of his achievements he was never really a top P4P fighter just a decent world class operator who benefited from having a lot of hype and promotional power behind him.

I wouldn't even rank him in the top 10 greatest British boxers his achievements simply don't stack up, probably not even top 20. I don't think he did enough to be considered hall of fame worthy. Overall his career was a bit of a disappointment considering how much hype there was surrounding him and how he was pushed by promoters like Warren and Golden Boy as some serious threat to the elite guys like Pac and Mayweather.

But despite all that, he did make a lot of money from the sport. His fan base was solid and he remained a decent draw in the UK throughout his career so he and his promoters were clearly doing something right. Christ he still has a reality TV show, not many British boxers achieve that level of fame and popularity in the UK. So while in terms of his legacy and accomplishments his career was a let down in terms of financial success and fame he did very well.

 

Very fun to watch no doubt. He was very good. He did his best as well. I'll miss him lots.
