I can't warm to him - and I do think he believes his own hype and is too cocky and arrogant. Am a big fan of hatton and Calzaghe and am beginning to feel same about Haye too but with this lad I just find myself hoping the other guy sparks him.

I remember telling you all about 18 months or so back about him driving a Lamborghini round Leeds City Centre on a Friday night passed the main bars (several times !) blowing the horn as if to say - get a load of me (I haven't beat anyone of note yet !!). Guess that didn't help with my impression of him

Like many I also believe he will be levelled when he goes in with a decent puncher.


As I have always said from day one he will be found out and kayoed within 18 fights

Again the main reasons you state for dislinking Khan: arrogance and cockiness, belive own hype. I would say that Haye and Calzaghe are far worse, sounds hypocritical to me.

In my view, we cannot ignore the fact there is a lot of Islamophobia in this country which creates a state of mistrust, whenever they see a Muslim.

Haye and Calzaghe have proved themselves thats the difference, im not sure what you was implying with your last comment but i hope your not one of those people that bring race into a debate.

Im ambivalant about Khan because I really dont know all that much about him. Seen a few clips here and there and read these pages but anything more I really dont know....So I hope he can have it in him to do well when all's said and done. Have no real idea if he can though.

Sir, I do not want to bring race in to the debate, I am just puzzled why Khan is singled out for things others are praised for, and Khans religion seems a possible answer.
Those attributes Khan is critisized for in this thread seem to me to be pre-requisites for any boxer who wants to make it to the top, or who already is.

to say you fo not want to bring race into the debate seems a bit strange - particularly as you keep bringing race into the debate

as has been said the others' cockiness has been backed up and if and when Khan takes out a top ten fighter he has the right to be cocky. Until then shut up.

He only has to look at Audley Harrison to see what can go wrong - someone else who was a millionaire before he stepped through the ropes.
