Thread: I am a khan fan. Why do people hate him.

I have watched Khans whole career and have enjoyed watching his fights.
With Murray as the other up and coming star I was suprised that people prefered him to Khan when he had 30 fights against 30 nobodies. By that time Khan was a champion.
People were angry because they didnt think he deserved to go up that fast but why not when you beat people in front of you. He does not have many more challenges in his devision accept Timothy Bradley. A guy Khan is calling out and bad mouthing, but Bradley wont respond. If Khan did this he would be insulted and shamed by everone.
SO PLEASE TELL ME WHY YOU HATE KHAN AND WHY HE IS BAD FOR THE SPORT.
Im not trying to be a prick I simply dont understand what is wrong with Khan.

Pretty good fighter but he thinks he's better than what he really is. He should not be asking to fight Pac or Mayweather right now.

His cockyness.. I used to dislike Khan for different reasons though. I always thought he brought his amateurish habits into the pros such as not turning his punches over, horrible footwork as in his punches and footwork not moving in sync etc but I must say, he's been growing on me..

Technically, he's not that great, but I love his mentality. Dude has a built himself a respectable resume and he's willing to fight anyone..

Also don't like how he dogged his boy Pacquiao out. Talking about he needs to retire.

I'm a pretty big fan of Khan. He may be cocky and arrogant, but almost every fighter is. For someone in a sport filled with ex-cons, outright criminals, and corruption, he's a pretty harmless figure IMO.

He's very skilled, rarely involved in a dull fight, any with his chin you never know what is going to happen. I don't get the hate either.

He's also a future fixture on the P4P list (watch him lose to Peterson now).

For me it's not about "hating" Khan, he's just not a favorite. It's like he's the latest over-hyped overrated Brit media sensation that's being shoved in our faces as the next big thing. Everyone seems to forget that he got totally annihilated by Prescott a couple years ago, and got his ass handed to him by Maidana, barely avoiding getting KTFO again.

He just fucks me off, his whole demeanour, self credit and self hype and serious lack of personality.
I hate how he picked the weakest world champion to get the belt from.
See with prince Naseem it was edge of the seat stuff, he had charisma etc.

for some reason i have struggled to really get behind him

i dont even think he is that cocky compared to a lot of boxers at the level he is at

and i disagree with who said he doesnt deserve a fight with pac or mayweather yet, why doesnt he? who else is there? who deserves one more? id say he would give both those fighters as much of a test as anyone

so i dont know what it is, why i havent warmed to him, i still watch all his fights and enjoy them tho

Maybe its you?

although his style for me is ugly (not very unique and not extremely technical), i like him, he has had some good psychological traits, he

1)has been trash talker while somewhat reasonable

2)he has looked for big fights instead of avoiding them

3)hasn't cried because a blood test

3)hasn't fought many old shot legends

4) hasn't seemed afraid, like jc chavez, canelo, mayweather, pacquiao always look

5) hasn't fought ridiculously bad in a bight fight and been outboxed, i prefer knocked out cold than outboxed or stupid

But
1)he doesn't offer a fair money %

I dont hate him, some peeps just dont take to boxers. I dont like Mayweather, but I do respect his skills and achievements.

A good thing for Khan, when he got KO'd he knew he had to change everything about his training and prep for fights, and realised if he wanted to get to the big time he needed to change.
So he left home and uprooted himself to the US and joined the Roach clan. Best and most mature thing to do. He's reaping the benefits of this, and good on him.

Over hyped and over rated is a malady that fighters without a loss on their record often suffer from. Losing to Prescott,learning from it,improving vastly and then taking a tough fight like Maidana and passing that test despite being rocked is what gets you rated. Your man Bradley is over rated, desert storm....more like fart in a sandpit.

I like khan. I just wanted him to beat prescott. So prescott didnt improve..but he didnt have golden boy behind him.

Cockiness and the idea that he's had everything handed to him on a silver plate seem to be the main reasons...neither of which i've ever understood. He's not anymore or anyless cocky than any other fighter.

Never understood how people used to moan about his resume either. The only fighter he didn't fight on the way up was Thaxton, who was comprehensively outboxed by Hatton, back when Thaxton was probably closer to his prime. Even then, Warren offered Thaxton a career high pay day for the fight and he said no.

Khan's got a lot of bottle, and he's an exciting fighter who will pretty much fight everyone. Boxing would be better if more fighters had this attutude.
