You also made it invisible so we can't see it.
I dont hate him, I sometimes cringe at some of the stuff he comes out with in the media, but hes a young man. I respect him and wish him all the best for the future, just thunk he will come a cropper along the way but he is doing everything possible to become the best he can.
I was impressed aswell by him last night didnt expect him to win so easily.

going to great lengths to ensure everyone's anonymity I see.
I'm going with runs over people in his car.
Damn I forgot to include the option 'I don't hate him', duh, never mind this thread is just for the haters to vent and tell us exactly what it is they hate so much about him.
I'm sure there's at least a small minority on here who hate him because of his race, but can't see anybody admitting to it.
Talking of which this poll is discriminatory, I don't hate Khan, where are my options?! I'm calling Affirmative Action on this Bilbo you mark my words :mad:
I don't like him because the constant media hype about him as a fighter got on my nerves..I actually used to like him!
But its like a song you hear on the radio that you really like...once its been played on every radio station,is on the TV,MTV and every other possible outlet around...you get sick too death of it and never want to hear the fecking thing again;D
I don't hate him or like him; I'm pretty much indifferent to him. He won the fight last night, and what else can you say? Good for him.
If I was forced to pick a choice it's because Bilbo's turning him into another messiah, like he does with Carla Froch. Yet since I don't hate fighters because of their cancer ridden, jelly roll humping mutant followers, it's moot.
I can only hope after Bilbo goes to an Amir Khan autograph session that Khan flattens Bilbo in his car.
I was about to just for fun ;D but I have a reputation and I dont hate Khan at allQuote:

I picked the 3 options I think most people legitimately dislike him for though...
I don't know how anyone can hate a fighter for having a weak chin :confused:
Isn't Tommy Hearns one of the most popular fighters amongst many of these same fight fans :-X
You could've added this option:
"Appears on 10 out of 33 thread titles on Page One of the Forum."
;)
I voted the 5th option.Quote:

This (bolded) is just plain ludicrous.Quote:

Bilbo forgot to add "because he beat Barrera" on his poll" Lol! I picked Kotelnik to win but that doesn't I hate Khan. I just didn't realize he learned that much from Roach. Btw, Bilbo. I hope you're just joking about the Donaire comment.
Possible reasons why people don't like the kid.
1. Too much handed to him early when he hasn't proved himself.
2. Says a few things that makes him look arrogant.
3. His race, which there is a small group out there that thinks this way.
I think alot of the hate stems from the fact that he is heavily hyped and cocky and yet unproven.

He's only ever fought a single world champ past or present in Darchinyan and on soley on the back of that win over two years ago he has climbed up to number 7 on the Ring p4p rankings purely because Vic went on to do well.
But anyone who watched the incredibly sloppy fight between Vic and Agbeko last week can have no doubt that Vid was never an elite fighter. He just happened to beat up on two other great overrated fighters in Mijares and Arce.
None of the flyweights are elite fighters. Donaire hasn't proved himself at all yet but people are fine with him being considered above the likes of Paul Williams, Kessler, Abraham, Pavlik, Chad Dawson etc on the p4p chart.
But what has he done? He beat ONE guy who wasn't even in the p4p top 20 went he beat him.
He's basically roller skated his way into the p4p rankings hanging of the back of Darchinyan's coat tails.
I only hope that now that Vic has been booted unceremoniously from the p4p club that Donaire will be shunted out with him.
I doubt it though, he will remain on the p4p list until he loses to an 11-1 rice grower with the name of Hang Po Winsnotalot or something who will then replace him as the latest and greatest little man to join the ranks of p4p.
I dont hate kahn, i hate what frank warren has made him a media hyped monster. This country gets something decent and they rub it in your face through the media. As someone said earlier i also cheered him in the olympics. But now i think hes arrogant and speaks crap to the press.

Bilbo. I agree that PWill should be higher than Donaire. Dawson, Abraham, Pavlik, and Kessler shouldn't be in to 10 though. Obviously you don't see something special about Donaire that's why you see him as overrated fighter. Darchinyan is not even in his level.
It's not that I don't see anything special, its just he's not done anything to warrant a p4p spot.Quote:

He may turn out to be a great great fighter, but he should have to earn his spot in the top 10.
Dawson has done so much more in his career, as has Paul Williams, Arthur Abraham and Kessler.

I tried to only use that smilie on General Bulldog's posts but meh I just couldn't do it.
The consensus out there is that Donaire is not a top 10 p4p fighter. Minus the Darchinyan victory and what does his resume look like? It's not very impressive. And then you have this guy ranked above Paul Williams who's willing to fight anyone in 3 weight classes with a much superior resume.
It's hard to defend Donaire as being a top 10 p4p fighter.
Yes, because that was clearly what I was doing :rolleyes: :vd:Quote:

To be honest I don't hate him. I don't have it in me to really hate someone, but I do have an aversion to him and all that he has come to represent.
He beat Barrera in one of the biggest farces there has been in modern boxing and that was THE fight that has stained Khan for me. No, Khan didn't make the decision, but he was at the centre of it all. The system in place was only going to allow one winner in that fight when really there was no winner. It was a con.
His association with Warren is another bone of contention. I liked Calzaghe for years, but as I learned more about boxing the more I began to see Frank Warrens stranglehold on British boxing and how Warren and the Media would conspire to make the public percieve fighters in a certain way through cloudy matchmaking and questionable reporting. Hatton left Warren through frustration, eventually Calzaghe did the same. Way too late IMO. So, my opinions of Warren are now totally cynical and I see him doing a sheltering and protection job on Khan which is just shocking considering his Olympic "heritage". I was surprised the Barrera fight happened but seeing how the win was achieved I wasn't all that shocked. Khan couldn't phyically beat any 135 belt holders so instead goes up to fight for a belt at 140 against the weakest holder despite others waiting for their shots. And now Khan is "crowned king" and all other types of absurd outpourings from a pathetic British media. You can guarantee Khan will now be looking to fight a couple of none punchers and con the public into thinking he is a champion defending his belt meaningfully. Or else he will vacate to avoid a dangerous mandatory.
Khans mouth also annoys me immensely. He says the most ridiculous things. What was it that he said about his body fat? And then he's talking about P4P titles and how he was going to knock out Barrera quite quickly etc etc.
Yawn. He's a thicko with fast hands. I find it hard to warm to people with inferior intellects and who are lacking in wit. Now James Toney might not be Einstein, but he sure is funny. Tell me a time when Khan has ever been funny and I mean funny in a way that didn't involve you thinking "What a plank!". :-\
He is funny when he does the baby giraffe dance when he gets hit in the chin!Quote:

All I can say is if Hagler hit Khan he would be sleeping for the next twenty years.
There's a difference in having a weak chin at domestic level and at world level. Khan has a domestic chin.
'Domestic Chin' made from 100% Bolton China ;D
See i can laugh at Khan because he is indeed a plank. But i definitely don't hate him. I support him.... Just in a fucked up ''he's my mentally challenged mate, leave him alone he's alright... ain't ya Khan, you div'' kinda way :rolleyes:
i like the domestic chin phrase.Quote:

I don't get the hate at all. Khan is only 22. Sure, he didn't really beat the most threatening jr welter champion out there but it's still a good accomplisment for his age. I say give the kid a break. Give him a chance to prove himself more.
Don't really hate the lad myself, per se, but I hate the people around him during his fights.
Frank Warren (the scrotum that became human) and that damn loud entourage (his family?) that you always hear during the action. Am I the only person that really gets annoyed by the screaming girl at every one of Khan's fights? Every time he gets hit, or almost gets hit, you can hear a wailing, prolonged scream coming from the audience, almost resembling what seems to be a woman giving birth to a tiger.
I hate her, whoever she is.
I know hear her 2 what is it with these screamers if i was sitting next to a girl and she screamed everytime a punch was thrown id get pretty pissed.Quote:
