Is Amir Khan the most overrated boxer this decade

[TitoFan]

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.

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!

Ok mister... who ARE you and what have you done with Primo?

[powerpuncher]

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.

[imp]

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.

[Dia bando]

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.

Over rated or over hyped? Solid boxer, just has a poor chin. I've seen guys with lesser talent constantly getting either title shots or eliminators. Rocky Juarez comes to mind. I didn't think he was over rated, rather had gr8 connections!!!

I’ll give you that one. I don’t know what dirt Juarez had on the boxing world because he just got title shot after title shot. I couldn’t stand him because of that. He always got gift decisions too. He didn’t even seem like a big draw either so I have no idea why he got all that he did.

I'm Glad we all agree. Felt good letting it out.

[erics44]

That's a bit harsh Primo

There's another (more positive) way of looking at his record but I can't really be arsed to break it down

How many former world champs did Khan beat and beat well?

Khan was value for money, I'd much rather have watched a Khan fight 5 years ago than a mayweather fight at any time in his carear

Khan is milking his name and making serious money for fighting weak opposition.

Khan might be young but there’s too many miles on the clock for him to beat the top x3 in the 147 division.

Khan has accepted this now and is obviously doing smart business by trying to fight PAC.

Khan is still exciting to watch and has fought everyone..he has taken far more risks than Wilder..WBC and Wilder have done everything they can to duck Dillian Whyte..who knows what’s really going on there.

Wilder starts talking about his disgust for drug cheats but decides to fight the same 53 year old drug cheat Ortiz again and his younger brother was caught cheating.

That is gold and agreed. But wouldn't Whyte now be just the same. He should of fought him though. Was convinced Wilder would sac up and go that route but no. Can't knock Khan for still making a dollar but he is trying to have it both ways. Beat a couple of also rans, have a couple of oh shat moments along the way and survive, talk himself up and get people to reminisce and get a massive payday where the consensus is often hey he is skilled but that ultimately he'll be beat. Rinse repeat. He's taking up space.

Khan used to do all that showboating in the ring. It was entertaining but gets to be too much. He really went from a premier name to a joke quickly. I did at one time look forward to his fights. Now if I can catch them a day or two later it’s no big deal

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!

[Ron Swanson]

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.

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.
