Was Khan ever the top guy at 140??

[powerpuncher]

No. Bradley was recognized as the top 140 guy when khan was there. He ducked Bradley so he never became the top guy. Then he was knocked out by Garcia who then became the top guy when Bradley moved up. At 135, he was still up and coming and got knocked out by Prescott.

I've only been really impressed by him in one fight and that was the maidana fight. I thought he showed heart and great skill. He has never showed that again.

100% spot on.

Probably not. He could have been if he fought certain guys or fights went differently, but he didn't and he was knocked out before he really built up the momentum, at both weights. I think realistically he has/had a very good style to fight Bradley, but he's so vulnerable that you can't really give him credit for anything until the fights happen lol.

Modestly mistaken

The only difference is that I'm giving Khan the Maidana fight, and I'm saying it's his best ever performance.
I'm not disputing it as a debatable loss.
He beat Maidana , he lost to Peterson. And like I said before, even if he had scraped through against Petertson (which I don't think he did btw.), it couldn't have been seen as a great or even good performance.

[Fenster]

Fair enough.

I don't think a close loss to Peterson is bad form though (even though he didn't lose )

Ha ha. No worries. I'm just going on what we knew at the time. With the benefit of hindsight , I would agree about Peterson.
