Why do you hate Amir Khan poll

[OumaFan]

going to great lengths to ensure everyone's anonymity I see.

I'm going with runs over people in his car.

[Kev]

Damn I forgot to include the option 'I don't hate him', duh, never mind this thread is just for the haters to vent and tell us exactly what it is they hate so much about him.

[JazMerkin]

I'm sure there's at least a small minority on here who hate him because of his race, but can't see anybody admitting to it.

Talking of which this poll is discriminatory, I don't hate Khan, where are my options?! I'm calling Affirmative Action on this Bilbo you mark my words

I was about to just for fun but I have a reputation and I dont hate Khan at all

[LEGION]

I don't hate him or like him; I'm pretty much indifferent to him. He won the fight last night, and what else can you say? Good for him.

If I was forced to pick a choice it's because Bilbo's turning him into another messiah, like he does with Carla Froch. Yet since I don't hate fighters because of their cancer ridden, jelly roll humping mutant followers, it's moot.

I can only hope after Bilbo goes to an Amir Khan autograph session that Khan flattens Bilbo in his car.

lol... I would have picked that!! At least he wasn't as bad as fucking Naseem Hamed.

I don't dislike the lad myself, he's about 10 days younger than me and I followed him through the Olympics when I was first starting to box.

I picked the 3 options I think most people legitimately dislike him for though...

I don't know how anyone can hate a fighter for having a weak chin

Isn't Tommy Hearns one of the most popular fighters amongst many of these same fight fans

You could've added this option:

"Appears on 10 out of 33 thread titles on Page One of the Forum."

Seriously, you're comparing Hearns to Khan?

Yes, because that was clearly what I was doing

So you would hate a fighter for having a weak chin

To be honest I don't hate him. I don't have it in me to really hate someone, but I do have an aversion to him and all that he has come to represent.

He beat Barrera in one of the biggest farces there has been in modern boxing and that was THE fight that has stained Khan for me. No, Khan didn't make the decision, but he was at the centre of it all. The system in place was only going to allow one winner in that fight when really there was no winner. It was a con.

His association with Warren is another bone of contention. I liked Calzaghe for years, but as I learned more about boxing the more I began to see Frank Warrens stranglehold on British boxing and how Warren and the Media would conspire to make the public percieve fighters in a certain way through cloudy matchmaking and questionable reporting. Hatton left Warren through frustration, eventually Calzaghe did the same. Way too late IMO. So, my opinions of Warren are now totally cynical and I see him doing a sheltering and protection job on Khan which is just shocking considering his Olympic "heritage". I was surprised the Barrera fight happened but seeing how the win was achieved I wasn't all that shocked. Khan couldn't phyically beat any 135 belt holders so instead goes up to fight for a belt at 140 against the weakest holder despite others waiting for their shots. And now Khan is "crowned king" and all other types of absurd outpourings from a pathetic British media. You can guarantee Khan will now be looking to fight a couple of none punchers and con the public into thinking he is a champion defending his belt meaningfully. Or else he will vacate to avoid a dangerous mandatory.

Khans mouth also annoys me immensely. He says the most ridiculous things. What was it that he said about his body fat? And then he's talking about P4P titles and how he was going to knock out Barrera quite quickly etc etc.
Yawn. He's a thicko with fast hands. I find it hard to warm to people with inferior intellects and who are lacking in wit. Now James Toney might not be Einstein, but he sure is funny. Tell me a time when Khan has ever been funny and I mean funny in a way that didn't involve you thinking "What a plank!".

He is funny when he does the baby giraffe dance when he gets hit in the chin!

Yes, because that was clearly what I was doing

So you would hate a fighter for having a weak chin

the world class Tommy Hearns...........and Amir Khan.....in the same breath?
All I can say is if Hagler hit Khan he would be sleeping for the next twenty years.

There's a difference in having a weak chin at domestic level and at world level. Khan has a domestic chin.

'Domestic Chin' made from 100% Bolton China

See i can laugh at Khan because he is indeed a plank. But i definitely don't hate him. I support him.... Just in a fucked up ''he's my mentally challenged mate, leave him alone he's alright... ain't ya Khan, you div'' kinda way
