    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
    Well can't argue with those hard numbers can we 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.

    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.
