impressive us debut. is amir khan the new darling of uk boxing fans?

poll included

No, people know that he is a decent fighter. People dont like his attitude he talks out of his arse most of the time,thats why alot of people dont like him it has got nothing to do with his boxing ability imo.

I'd kinda disagree there.
The people that hate him still criticise his boxing ability. No matter who he beats and how, they will find fault. That's just the way some folk are.

I think he is a good fighter but i dislike him because of the way he presents himself and the dumbshit he does if he had a decent chin to back up his stupidity i would be more inclined to support him but he doesn't.

I agree, he just talks way too much poo for me without the back-up. But he's getting there I'd say. He's beat paulie now, which is years ahead of what Hatton achieved at his age.

True, but Hatton was never fast tracked like Amir Khan and headlining PPV's whilst fighting bums early on. Hatton worked his way up the proper way, but Warren did hold him back a bit too long. We shouldn't knock Hatton though, as he has proven he has balls. Khan is on the right track with the Paulie fight, but it's still a case of fighting leftovers. He needs to prove himself a champ by fighting someone hungry who can actually punch back. He hasn't been doing that at all, let's see if he really does fight a puncher next.
