    Khan had all the skills and talent to be one of the best boxers we've ever had.

    However he had no chin and most of all he had no boxing brain (or any brain for that matter).

    Agreed maidana his best win. His attraction was that despite his skills you knew there was a good chance that any opponent with half a punch could potentially beat him at any time.

    Hope he doesn't get the manny fight ffs

    Given time I think you will find it will be Wilder who is the most over rated boxer. He got exposed by a unseasoned Fury, fought weak opposition and been fortunate to win when he fought anyone decent.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Nah. I’m no Wilder fan, but he’s nowhere near as overrated as Khan. His draw with Fury says more about the whole division in general, and he did get through a highly rated , albeit ancient guy in Ortiz (just)
    Khan has done nothing of relevance for YEARS!

    As has been said and remains true..Khan had-has some talent. But I think mainly that he has become a bit of a running joke and majority of fans are in on it. Half the time the question isn't how he'll win etc but what round he gets planked or wobbled in. I don't see him doing anything relevant now and agree he doesn't merit a Manny show. Especially coming off his last freak show in wonderful Saudi zzzz Arabia being allowed to stamp out a featherweight.

    Probably. I only say that because he keeps getting big money fights so the brits must love to watch him. I don’t think Americans overrate him.

    Compare Wilder and Khans opponents..don’t worry, I’ll wait.

    Wilder is fighting a 47 year old drug cheat Cuban in a rematch and Fury has been his toughest competition to date.

    Khan has fought everyone and will not play 2nd fiddle to a potential Brook fight.

    Both Khan and Wilder give excitement but Wilder has to fight Fury and AJ/Ruiz in 2020 or I’m done with him.

    Remember him on the floor against Willie Limmond all the skills but a poor chin.
    It did not impact on him making a lot of money fair play he got in there a Champion.
    Make of it what you will a good fighter not a great one.🙂

    Can't stand Wilder and I mean that in boatloads, guy is a twat but when's the last time Khan was considered a serious threat to the very top guys in his division. Boxing is every bit a what have you done lately and Khan is running on a reminisce tour.

    Well thanks for waiting.
    So, I can’t be fucked to put Wilders opponents , suffice to say he’s fighting World title fights and is ranked in the top 2,3,4 in his division. Khan isn’t even rated in his division , Infact he doesn’t even have a division nowadays. Now I’ve done this before, but you’ve made me do it again.
    Khan since Sept 2008
    Prescott - Sparked out by someone who never even challenged at the top.
    Oisin Fagan - who??
    Barrera - had a cut from a clash of heads early, couldn’t see a thing, they waited till round 6 to stop it so it would be a win rather than no contest.
    Kotelnik- they picked the weakest champ at the time and gave Khan home advantage.
    Salita- ?
    Malignaggi - soft puncher , perfect opponent for Khan.
    Maidana - best win of his career, and even then he nearly fucked it up.
    McLoskey - hardly inspiring.
    Judah - EVERYBODY beat Zab Judah.
    Peterson - Lost and justifiably so.
    Garcia - beautiful! Completely sparked out.
    Molina - meaningless stay busy fight. Got decked by a nobody.
    Diaz - meaningless. Guy was old and small.
    Alexander- meaningless. Alexander is totally irrelevant at this stage of his career.
    Collazo - as above.
    Algieri - struggled like fuck in another meaningless fight. Algieri was coming off losses.
    Alvarez - meaningless bullshit mismatch . Circus act.
    Lo Greco - for fucks sake.
    Vargas -
    Crawford - undeserved title shot , see comments for Alvarez.
    Dib - wtf! Do I need to comment.
    Please don’t ever make me do that again, it’s painful to think about.
    Wilder , and I can’t believe I’m defending the cunt, fought:
    “the man that beat the man”
    An old man in Ortiz , who everybody avoids.
    Signed up to fight a peak Povetkin in Russia, and it was no fault of his that it never happened.
    Countless World title defences.

    You can lick Khan’s ass all you like, but it’s there in Black and White to see. THE GUY IS STEALING A LIVING!

    Chisora has another big fight coming. The UK seems to have battered wife syndrome.

    Ok mister... who ARE you and what have you done with Primo?
    My dislike for Khan’s career far outweighs my dislike for Wilder’s . Although I still think Wilder is a cunt of the highest order.
