I'm saying Khan is over hyped because he is, and I can make a case for it, but i'm sure it would fly right over your head Fenster. The key word here is overhyped. As for Ring magazine, HBO and the rest of the worlds boxing "experts" appreciating Khan, does that mean I have to?
Of course you don't have to agree with anyone. However, it's a fact that MOST "experts" rate Khan very highly. They don't think he's just "hype."

So make your case?
A Case for Khan being overhyped? The short of it is, based on what he's actually managed to accomplish in his short career, including getting crushed by Prescott, I fail to see anything extra special there. And as for his #1 ranking, based on what? Getting your ass kicked, and almost being stopped by Maidana, and then beating up on a washed-up chump like Zab Judah? I don't know what the "world's experts" are seeing in this overhyped clown, but it ain't the same thing i'm seeing.

I hope this helps.
I must've missed him getting his ass kicked by maidana. The fight I saw, Khan won quite comprehensively He came through some tough stages and was almost out on his feet, but surely coming through that and still winning the fight clearly must be worth some credit. Winning through adversity is a big plus in my book.

He aint the finished article and I have only recently started to appreciate him, but he deffo aint overhyped imo.
