yep killer the free ride on the Warren Express is part of it no doubt.
His cockiness is another part - and believeing his own hype. A lot of people forget he called out Mayweather (over 4 rounds) and said he was ready for him 2+ years ago. That annoyed me I can tell you - yes he's young but do you remember any other fighter in past doing that to the p4p best at such an early stage ??
I know there are other fighters who are cocky who the public don't turn against but Khan was like it off camera. Have told this story a couple of times before about when bollywood awards had an event in Leeds and he drove round the one way system on a summers evening in a Lamborghini blowing his horn basically saying 'look at me - do you know who I am'. Don't think there wasn't a bloke out that night in Leeds who didn't see him and say 'tosser'.Prove yourself then get cocky if you want.
We have also seen it before with Naz - striking similarities but Naz backed it up to a large extent (till he got in with another p4per - forget who that was)
People also resent the riches before they even step through the ropes - not his fault I know.
From what I've heard the Prescott defeat has humbled him so let's see. However if it wasn't for his chin with his skill, speed and agility he could potentially have gone on to be one of the best fighters this country has ever produced.
Unfortunately his chin isn't going to get any stronger though, and let's face it he's had some patchy moments with some lower rung fighters, so it's only a matter of time before the Khan Roadshow comes to an abrupt halt and I believe this will happen sooner rather than later.
Not sure if Barrera has enough left to end it next month...
