Other than a weight-weakened Curry, Honeyghan never beat anyone else of Khan's ability. Khan story isn't completely written yet. Khan on points.

Honeyghan does not need to have beaten anyone else of Khan's ability because he beat Don Curry who was superior to Khan in every department.

Who has Khan defeated of Curry or Honeyghan's class? He hasn't evinced this ability you suggest he has.

Lloyd would get my vote. He would still be dangerous late in the fight. I think he probably has to get up off the floor to win. I can see Amir scoring a KD early on.

Hahaha u are actually comparing khans boxing ability as good as it is ( he made Garcia look a rank amateur in places,outboard the brilliant savon at 18) with the great Don curry of 80-86) that's absurd.honeyghan beat Gianfranco Rosi,outboxed Maurice blocker,both men who would give khan a battle at 147. But as u say Beckham story is not written but increasingly he looks just a money hungry guy

And he was as also a brilliant boxer at his very best the English Benitez.that curry fight was just as much about speed defence and quickness as aggression.gil Clancy said that too. By the time he bombed out Hatcher and bumphus he more or less was a impatient sloppy brawler and it cost him big vs Baca and startling 2 men he'd have beaten at his best

Sort of like the reverse of how Nigel Benn developed oddly?!

Lloyd finds khan dangling his chin around as early as the 3rd and hits it hard - amir takes a while to get up
