Me. I still don't get why people hate him. He's made a few silly comments over-rating his own ability but i've yet to see a fighter who doesn't talk up his own ability.

Ok he can't drive. Other than that, generally speaking, he speaks well, he's pretty exciting to watch, he's got very good ability.

I don't get it really. Carl froch, Joe Calzaghe and David Haye are far more arrogant, yet neither of them get booed and jeered on their way to the ring.

I wonder why?

Because none of them turned PRO as a guaranteed millionaire in the spotlight. Simple as.

Because none of them won a medal at the Olympics at the age of 17. A massive achievement when you consider he was the only British fighter there. Some things deserve recognition.

What young rich sportsperson is universally loved? Khan's support FAR outweighs the hate. He wouldn't sell 8,000 tickets otherwise.

Gold medal winners
Audley = hated.
DeGale = booed on debut for fucks sake.

If they turned pro under the radar no-one would see them until they get near championship level. The spotlight from day one is the only real reason Khan has haters. Like all famous fighters have.
