Khan was an amazing amateur. You should see his other performances. If the dude stayed amateur forever, he'd be the best in that ****, hands down.
I remember watching this fight seems like a really long time ago. Simply amazing performance by Amir to think he was only 17 at the time with little senior experience. I think he should have developed gradually outside the spotlight.
You know Lomachenko has nearly 350 amateur wins with only 1 loss that he avenged? Did you know Lomachenko has been boxing since he was 5? Did you know Lomachenko is about to win a 2nd Olympic gold at the age of 24 to add to his 2 world championships at different weights? Did you know that Lomachenko has boxing skills with his athleticism while Khan has always had just athleticism? Do you know Khan's amateur record? Does he have more than 1 loss? Out of how many fights? How much has Khan advanced from his amateur days, so what makes you think he would've improved and dominated if he stayed amateur? The amateur game is a lot different than when Khan was an amateur as well, I don't think Khan could medal with the lower scores and 3 minute rounds. Flurries against gloves don't cut it any more, that's why Khan is **** and his silver medal is irrelevant. Who cares how good you think he was at 17, if he hasn't improved since then his young age was/is irrelevant because he didn't continue his growth. I have zero doubt in my mind that Lomachenko could step into the pro ring today and knock Khan out.
