Phil is a poor opponent but if we are calling him a journey man then we should call Khan one aswel. After all he has more losses on his resume than Phil has. Phils losses came to guys like Spence, Porter & Elegele and Khans has losses to guys like Peterson, Garcia, Alvarez and Prescott. Thereâs not much in it in terms of their losses and the level of opponent. However in the W column Khan has a lot more names of note than Phil does. Those wins of Khans were many years ago now so Greco is actually a representation of where Khan is truly at in his career these days.
Virgil Hunter reckons itâs a tough fight which tells you what he really thinks of Khan. Khan most likely thinks if he avoids punchers from now on he can get to the Brook fight unscathed but Peterson wasnât a puncher and he beat Khan with pressure and thats how Greco fights. Algerie wasnât puncher but he pressured Khan for 12 rounds aswel and that was back when Khan was an active fighter. It may just be that this is Khans level now rather than a huge step down which is how it was seen when the fight was announced. I donât think we will ever see him in world class opposition again such as Spence, Porter etc. The best he will fight is Brook whos coming off back to back KO defeats and been years since he beat the only world class fighter on his resume.
