Khan was famous before he turned pro, he was Britain's only representative at the Olympics where he got a silver medal. And yes a 17-year-old British/Asian kid was an obvious ticket to stardom. His amateur rematch with Kinedelan (the gold medalist) was primetime live saturday night in front of millions on terrestrial tv. He was PPV when still British title level.

Khan doesn't have a great legacy but certainly a solid world-level one. He has plenty of proven world-class wins (Maidana, Zab, Kotelnik, Paulie, Peterson, Collazo and a bunch of exciting fights). He might get in the HOF, as he's a crossover muslim star - headlining several Vegas shows - who has done shitloads for charity in Pakistan/middle east and the UK/US.

But ultimately his career went from hero to zero.

Without doubt he'll be remembered for being ironed out, getting up to all kinds of embarrassing shit outside the ring and ducking Brook.
