The guy is a fraud and people keep shelling out to watch him. He was lucky to get Barrera on his resume and he does not deserve a shot at a belt at 140.

I hope he gets sparked again and sooner rather than later.

He could be blue, green, pink or coloured like a rainbow. It doesn't matter. I just don't like him.
Well, I think I've not read the same stuff as you as I've seen nowhere where he opened his mouth that much to deserve crap, he's miles and miles and miles behind PRince Naseem, Tarver, Roy Jones Mayweather etc in matter of talking crap, he doesn't even come close to Haye, matter of fact. As for the Barrera fight, it is not exactly his fault if the fight did end up this way so I do not see no reasons here neither to hate him, it's not like if he would have said: "well, let's clash up head with Barrera and end up this fight in controversy to make sure nobody will give me the credit I deserve". As for a Fraud, he's still a silver medalist, that should show that the kid has at least some talent somewhere though it doesn't automatically make him a world champion.
I seem to read a lot of rubbish with his name attached, though it has been pointed out than on occasion it is reporters twisting things. This latest stuff about Roach turning him into a P4P fighter within two years is the latest one to get me. He hasn't even won a title yet and here he is blathering about P4P stuff. He said Kotelnik was a rubbish champion and next thing he is fighting him and making an about face. Seems like a bit of a muppet IMO. Rather stupid and gets taken in rather easily. Now some of those other fighters can talk some drivel but they proved they can talk it AND walk it. Khan has proven nothing to me yet. Getting rocked repeatedly by tiny little men.

I hate the way people who know nothing about boxing will pay to watch him fight. The only fight worth paying for was Barrera and that was largely on the back of Barrera's name, the legend that he is. It is a big con.

The Barrera fight upset me largely because I am a huge Barrera fan. Khan didn't do it on purpose, but the nature of the fight left a very sour taste. And Khan was very lucky to get away with it. It should have been a NC after two. What happened to Don Kings protest? It's all quietly gone away. Typical.

Khan did pretty well in the amateurs. No doubt about it. But his form has been patchy as a pro and it really has been classic Warren match making except for the Prescott debacle. And now going up to 140 just because there isn't a meaningful fight at 135 that he can win.

I'm just not sold on him at all. I don't like these Olympic fighters that go pro and have all the opportunities handed on a plate. That DeGale muppet is another one. I hope he falls on his face too.
