Why is Amir Khan so disliked on this site?

[leftylee]

I really don't know Amir Khan I've only seen 1 fight of his besides his olympic fight's. I have no problem with him. I don't think Khan has a glass jaw either. The punch he got hit with would have knocked down anyone in the lightweight division.

Amir Khan hasn't got a glass chin are you kidding me ? he was on queer street from Willie Limond who only had 25 percent KO record and those KO's came against fighters with mostly losing records and the punch that got him in trouble against Breidis Prescott was more of a grazing shot not solid at all and his legs went wobbly from only stiff jab if Amir Khan hasn't got a glass chin then i would love to know your definition of a glass chin.

Can't forget the Rachid Drilzane fight were Khan was floored.

Yeah LOL. Khan went down on the ropes and pretended he slipped. But he never and the ref give him the count.

I think thats pretty strong comment and wrong one at that what has race got to do with it ? just because few idiots think that way doesn't mean *alot* of people think that way the fact is Amir Khan is an arrogant moron saying he could beat Floyd Mayweather over 4 rounds plus his 1.5 percent body fat or whatever it was
.

did he really say he could beat floyD

Yes.[/QUOTE]

that is madness ! i dont think anyone on the planet could beat floyd at the moment, especially not amir khan !

[kingfrnk]

i dont think hes disliked hes just being dissed by everybody on this site which is ok. atleast hes well a well known lightweight for 1 particular reason

[Pugilistic]

Khan is disliked by people for many reasons.

Being British, being overhyped, can be cocky, and unfortunately because he is Muslim. Personally i think he is a real nice guy who is quite talented but just lacks a chin and defense.

Its got nothing to do with colour.

Joe Calzaghe is disliked by loads of people on this site, he's white.

Antonio Tarver is disliked equally, he's black.

Audley Harrisons yellow and he's disliked by all!

[Tysonbruno]

I like him i just wanted him brought back to earth he was believing his own hype and i was sick of them ramming him down our throats. I will continue to follow him and hopefully he will win a world title just hope next time he PPV its because he world champ or he is fighting for a world title.

I do appreciate the negativerep leftylee. Maybe it was deserved but the punch that he was hit with from Prescott was bomb I don't give a damn what anyone says. I never mentioned anything from the Drilzane fight because I never seen it. IF you like to see what a glass jaw looks like check out a fighter named Bruce " the mouse " Strauss. He will make Amir Khan's jaw look like granite.

I dont like Khan attitued , i hate his promoter , he has a glass jaw , he will fade away , any guy who can take his power is going to come out swinging after see the Prescott fight.

[killersheep]

Not sure about this site but practically every person i have spoken to about him (who live near me) don't like him because he is Asian. That is always the first reason they don't like him. Then they tend to add on the fact that he is arrogant and he's fought bums.

Obviously that's not a great advert for Leeds as a town but that's just the way it is around here. I started a thread about it around 18 months ago and got shot down as the above was apparently a ridiculous reason and therefore couldn't possibly be true. I agree it is a ridiculous reason and believe me, it is true! It's shit and i can't stand that way of thinking....but as i say, i can only speak of where i live and i have spoken to a lot of people about Khan and have pretty much got the same response.

Weird I thought Khan was a UK boy, born and raised.

For me, I didn't like that he was given a silver spoon so early in his career, before he had done anything professionally worthwhile. Maybe I was jealous of his success, maybe I looked at him as manufactured as a pop song, maybe it was trickle down resentment for Warren. Whatever the case, I just wanted to see him lose.

That being said I think he definately has skills, and I can respect that part of his game.

I have never understood the Khan hate on this board.

[cpcompany]

The hilarity that was Amir Khans Angry Young Men is enough to ensure that I will never dislike him.

Not evean after reading this thread?Hmmmmm

[rjj tszyu]

I wouldn't say that I dislike him, just that he is hugely overrated. To me Britain has a better LW prospect in John Murray.
