Sorry, who are we talking about?
That's how relevant the useless cunt is.
Khan is still relevant even if it is the tail end of his career.
Prescott template to beat Khan is the weak chin and any puncher can do it to him including Brook.
I think Khan can beat Garcia because he is a better boxer with his new trainer Virgil.
He knows more than given credit for does our Frankie.

He's still a decent fighter that is turning into a gate keeper slowly. I don't think he's relevant at the top of the sport, but I think he's still a named fighter that can make interesting fights.
I agree his fights are now at a stage were they are predictable.Quote:

A very harsh thread on Khan. Looking at 147 Id give him a decent chance of beating all of them. Below are fight news rankings with the chance I give Khan of winning
1. Keith Thurman 40%
2. Kell Brook 33%
3. Danny Garcia 60%
4. Timothy Bradley 50%
5. Jessie Vargas 70%
6. Shawn Porter 40%
7. Errol Spence 25%
Considering most of the time these guys fight they are the 90% fav or bigger Id say Khan is very relevant
Insanely talented, couldn't take a punch. He was boxing's answer to the girl with the perfect body and a dog face.
Well can't argue with those hard numbers can we;D A 60% chance to beat a guy who starched him in 3-4 rounds? Do you think it's for no reason the guy has never rematched anyone who beat him, or had him badly hurt? Only ones I'd agree with are probably Vargas and Bradley, as those guys aren't extremely likely to hurt him, although even they have enough pop to do it. He has literally a 2% chance of beating Spence as far as I'm concerned, and everyone else on the list would have so much to draw from knowing they only need to get to him at any cost. This is even assuming he hasn't become all the more beatable after the bad KO to Canelo and inactivity.Quote:

There are probably more people watching this thread than those who would attend or PPV his next fight.
I thought he was doing a TV show? Keeping up with the Khanishans?
2% might even be high. 12 rounds of avoiding Spence. He would have to have suddenly learned defense and suddenly learned not to dive in. I laugh all the time at people that say he would beat Garcia. Garcia nearly knocked him out about 10 times before he hurt him in what, round 3? The very first hook about 10 seconds in missed by like an inch. Not sure how many times Khan needs to dive into a punch before people get what Khan is. He's this eras Zab Judah "if he just", no, he is what he is.Quote:

On that logic you're basically saying he'd lose to the rest as you give them more chance to beat him than Garcia who again, iced him.
So realistically you're saying Vargas is the only person he would beat and that's fair because Vargas is the worst of the list you posted.
Amir Khan is Still relevant he's going to fight with kell brook this year
theres your answer right thereQuote:

He spent years chasing Manny and Floyd, when that dried up he went at Alvarez, now he wants to go at Brook. He's got lots of interests outside of boxing and it's probably fair to say his commitment to his craft is not what it once was, yet still people want him, and he wants the dollar.
He hasn't had a proper title in nearly 6 years, he doesn't really do much promotion other than the contracted minimum come fight time, he's no longer the starlet that everyone wants a piece of (£$)
Given that Khan has such a horrendously unreliable chin, the lad hasn't done badly. 31-4, multiple World champion, loads of dosh in the bank, a career littered with good names, most of whom he beat, great value for money in doing so. There's a lot to be pleased with.
We might as well right off the Alvarez fight, he was never going to last. The Prescott loss was a shocker, stiffened to his boots by a jab and then flattened, sickening for some, funny as fuck to others. The other two were debatable for me. The Peterson fight could have gone either way and even in the Garcia loss he was up and ready to fight on, probably would have got horribly knocked out but there you go.
The Garcia one is a weird one for people to wrap their head around. "Khan was pissing on him until he got chinned". Loads of people say that, or words to that affect. The fight lasted three and a bit rounds and Amir spent most of the 3rd getting knocked on his arse and around the ring. How do you piss on someone for 2 rounds? Khan gets a lot of credit for that fight, Garcia not enough. Garcia was hitting the body up when everyone else was busy saying wow look how fast Amir is. "Amir would win a rematch easy" - Course he would.
Is he relevant? In the grand scheme of things no he isnt, but thats kind of voluntary as far as I'm concerned. Ask this question again if he can beat Brook, or beat anyone meaningful.
This is the answer I was lookin for. @MemphisQuote:

I do not think he is relevant. We must firstly define the meaning of relevance when use in this context. So lets assess
1. Can he be put in with the best in the division and win? I'd say he'd lose again most of them.
2. Will he step in with the best in the division? No because $$ isn't right.
3. Does he care about world titles? Not as much as before.
4. Does he deserve a world title shot vs Brook? No but that's all he wants
5. Would he ever again attempt to unify his division? No he'd likely vacate for a money fight.
6. If he retired would it be a shock? No we'd clap and say good career and no one would be shocked.
There are so many little things that just make him irrelevant.
He is a good fighter with a good list of names and world titles but he won't ever be the fighter he once was, one more KO loss and he almost has to retire. The blueprint is there and he knows it, he basically took the Canelo fight knowing he'd get KOd and everyone else knew it. He prostituted his chin out for cash.
Khan can be put with the best in the welterweight division, he may not win but he does have a slim chance.
Khan is number 1 contender for Garcia so he can step in with the best in the division plus he wants revenge
Money matters at this stage for Khan than titles.
Khan does deserve a world title shot because he has beaten decent welterweights.
Khan would unify his division as he has in the past with Bradley
I would be shocked if he retired after the loss to Canelo.
No realistically Im saying hes favorite against Garcia in a rematch and against Vargas, 50/50 against Bradley and slight underdog against the rest.Quote:

Believe it or not just because someone beats you once doesnt guarantee they'll beat you again.
