If Khan defeats Barrera impressivly. then a showdown & victory over Khan in London would be a huge step in the right direction! Unifying the Jr. Welterweight titles would also be a major plus.
manny is allready an atg is ricky can beat him conviningly then he is for sure atg aswell ps. you forgot to include urango on that list
I think if Hatton were to win those fights he would have a very good case.I agree Urango shoul be on the list it was a good win for Hatton and one that gets over looked.
He will probably go down as an ATG 140 lber if he beats Pac. If he beats JMM as well, he'll surely break into the 80-100 mark on ATG lists. If he were to beat the last man standing, consenous top 10-stone fighter, i.e Bradley, Holt, Torres, Witter, Lamont Peterson, Victor Ortiz etc etc (as the last man standing will have proven themselves against very good opposition to get there) then he would surely be a top-5 140lber of all time. His resume would outscore Calzaghe IMO. These are all ifs and buts, but I think fighting a Bradley or Holt is a much better way to end your career (would easily sell out Wembley off the back of Pac-JMM/Juan Diaz victories) is better than moving up to get slaughtered by Mosley. Anyways, Pac will beat him anyways. He can still make his mark as an ATG 140 lb fighter (some have him in their top 10 already, he's a H2H nightmare for some and his resume is already good) and whatever people say about his style (whether or not it's cheating for him to hold as much as he does seems the main quibble) he has been exciting for the majority of the time, has provided some highleet reel K.O's in his time, participated in one of the biggest fights in history (come May, probably 2) and is one of the biggest money-making stars in the sports history. Most will look upon him favourably once he retires, even if he gets smashed up by Pac and then loses to Marquez before retiring and never being seen again.
Khan is not even on Ricky's radar. Even for the money it would make, Ricky wouldn't take it, he's knows that the people in the know think he's a fool. First punch of the night and it's all over for Khan. Simple as that.
Nope he would not. Calazaghe isnt viewed as such why woul ricky be? defeating two featherweights a couple of years ago wont cement his legacy he needs to move up and face Cotto.
Honestly? Once you get outside the top 50, Most big lists become interchangable so I'm sure he'd get some ATG consideration. Beating Pac, JMM and then a retirement fight against whoever the #2 JWW is at the time is good enough for some ATG consideration....probably only at the bottom of the list though.
