its always funny when he gets like this because his only frame of reference in these type of scenarios is that the best opponents he fought whooped his ass
Mlaignaggi Explains Why He Feels Khan is A lot Better Than Hatton
Former world champion Paulie Malignaggi believes Amir Khan should be given the same respect in Britain as Ricky Hatton, insisting Khan is the superior fighter of the two.
Khan had impressed in the opening five rounds of Saturday's fight in Las Vegas with Saul Alvarez until suffering the heavy sixth-round knockout that ended his challenge for the WBC middleweight title.
The defeat - the fourth of his professional career - has done little to harm his reputation given he had made such a significant jump in weight, but there is little question a victory would have secured his status as one of Britain's greatest fighters.
Unlike Khan, Hatton is widely considered one of Britain's finest ever after a successful career in which he only lost to Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao before his comeback against Vyacheslav Senchenko.
American Malignaggi fought and lost to both Hatton and Khan, however, and is convinced the latter should be held in similar esteem.
"I don't think it's fair (Hatton is more highly-rated in the UK) but perception is reality, unfortunately. I fought them both, I thought Amir was a lot better," he said.
"On a skill basis, what I saw from both guys, Amir was a lot more difficult to deal with.
"You've also got to understand Amir came to America a lot sooner than Ricky did, so Amir racked up a couple of losses. Amir also fought a lot more fighters than Ricky was able to because Amir came to America a lot sooner.
"Once you come to America you're fighting top fighters. They're not going to let you get away with the guys you're fighting in England, you're going to have to fight constant monsters.
"Ricky came here a little later so he was able to build his record up a little more, he was also able to be loved a little bit more. Ricky deserves a lot of the hoopla he got, but when comparing them, you've got to compare them knowing those differences. There'll never be a right or wrong answer because they're never going to fight, but for me Amir was the best."

and you want to throw him in there with another big puncher? You wanna see this nikka dead for real or something? 
....you're switchin up the argument now. your post wasn't about "boxing", you claimned Canelo was getting more hands put on him that danny. so that's why I dropped them numbers. khan almost landed two times more punches on danny than he did canelo in 2 less rounds. landed 48 on canelo in 6 rounds on 28%. and landed 92 on danny in only 4 rounds on 45%. khan almost landed more power punches alone on danny in 4 rounds (46) than he did total punches on canelo. khan rarely connected flush on canelo. that's just the truth. if you rewatch the fight you'll notice khan was out there whiffing a lot.
