Man after seeing what happened to Gerald Mcclellan that is disturbing and is way beyond your general disliking of a boxer, more like some sort of personal, racist vendetta. To make things worse saying that "after the Barrera fight" you started to dislike Khan is clearly a lie as you have been posting hate filled posts ever since Khan entered the world stage.

Can someone explain what is wrong with the statement below? The kids aspiring to be the best at his sport and aims to be like his role models Pacman just like everybody else does in his/her profession. What's the point of doing what you do if you don't want to try your best and be the best you possibly can.

Go for the win Khan, you have my support!

"Hopefully in a year's time [or] two years' time Freddie will make me a machine, make me a fighter like Manny Pacquiao or better," he told The Guardian.

"I'm one of those fighters who want to achieve the best, who never ducks some fights, who always take risks, and that's what I do.

"And this fight now I'm taking a risk by going up a weight, fighting someone at a world level for a world title, but that's me."
I agree completely mate. Sometimes people lose all sense of perspective when they dislike somebody.

Khan has said nothing that any other ambitious boxer hasn't said. Of course he believes he can become a p4p great, that's surely an admirable quality, he aspires to be the best, how can anyone pick on that?

There is a lot of hate on these boards in general, Khan will never be respected by those who hate on him and only wish to see him fail, Manny also will never be respected by those who are just itching to see him fail so they can tell us they told us all along.

It's very sad really. It's even funnier to me that I am labelled a fanboy of both Amir and Manny because I respect them and wish them to do well.

Yet I'm not a huge fan of either fighter I'm just not blinkered by hate and prejudice.

Khan is a good kid, he conducts himself well (at least when he's not driving) and he's eager to be the absolute best that he can be.

It's very easy for us complete non achievers to scoff at his weak chin and say he's useless but the facts are that he's a young kid who wants to achieve his dreams and is willing to take big risks to achieve them.

Of course the haters will tell you that Barrera was no risk at all and that Kotelnik is a complete bum and cherry picked if Khan beats him but at the end of the day he could beat J M Marquez in a years time and it would only be because he suddenly got old overnight.
