I am a khan fan. Why do people hate him.

[Mattyhitman]

I used to dislike Khan for nitpicking opponents and avoiding real challenges, once he finally stepped in with Maidana, despite the result he at least showed he's willing to take the risk, he has good wins over Malignaggi, Maidana, and Judah, he called out Bradley only to hear crickets, so he moved on to another very good opponent in Peterson, if he steps up in weight as he said he is he can still rematch Maidana at 147, the thing that annoys people is his ego which is often mistaken for confidence, calling out fighters out of his league way back when for example Pacquiao and Mayweather, either way the guy deserved the criticism he received early on and silenced most critics by picking very good opposition, I'm not a huge fan of the guy but he does deserve credit

Plenty of fighters call out fighters who appear to be above their level. The trick is to get your name mentioned in as many headlines along with the name of an elite fighter. That way, the paying public become accustomed to seeing those two names together, so the fight becomes a better sell.

And, if he waited until he was actually ready to fight Mayweather, Mayweather would be about 37 and perhaps considered to be on the decline. Khan would get shit for not wanting to fight Mayweather when he was closer to his peak, so in a way, he can't win.

Points well made guy's

He's damned if he does and damned if he dont !

Carnt wait to read VD's comments on this, his verbal diarrhea will stink the thread out.
