I know his promoter Frank Warren is a prick but i always have found Khan a down to earth sort of young bloke.
He may say a few over the top things now and again but so do most people.

Balls
too arrogant i think
I don't dislike Khan.
I don't like the idea of a millionaire prospect fighting a no-name on PPV though. So was very pleased to see a whole bunch of greedy conners get well and truly booted in the nuts.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
Him calling out the top lightweights when he can't get past domestic level. Ducking Thaxton and Romanov. Having a glass jaw. His last fight was aired on PPV, pure robbery.
With Kahn it was obvious from day one he had severe inadequacies in terms of his chin.
Yet matchmaking allowed him to continue without suffering the consequences. The soft touches Kahn was fed became apparent and the boxing faithful were and still are disgustred when forced to listen to his claims of greatness.

Thinking that he's rubbish is not the same as disliking him. Personally I quite like him and I'd love to see him go and have a hugely successful career, not least because there's nobody else on the horizon as far as British boxing is concerned. This will be impossible however due to the fact that his jaw is constructed out of the finest crystal. So when all the hype came into contact with reality it invited a certain amount of scorn and derision, which is quite understandable considering his past (and current) statements re. winning world championships etc.
Balls
I'm in this camp.
From what I hear he's a decent guy, and he was giving a lot of exposure to boxing in the mainstream in britain. But ppv took the piss, and it was satisfying to see him get a bit of a reality check.
I actually hope he does come back better, so long as he genuinely progresses and that the public isn't conned to four years of ppv against stiffs while they're being sold as world beaters. Just a bit of honesty and admit he'll be learning at a couple steps below world level until he's ready to step up again.
Its not just this site, its every site . Thats the truth. Oh except Amirs.
Pain lasts a only a minute, but the memory will last forever....

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.
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.
Remember reality is an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol .
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.
