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?

They weren't given the hype job that Khan was from day 1.

Check the threads plenty of people hate those three, stop with the wonder why comments because no doubt people will be looking to blame it on racism.

That's because they didn't win a medal at the Olympics at the age of 17.

The 'wonder why' comment wasn't referencing racism. But since you've brought it up, i have to say i find it odd that people, just because they're not racists themselves, can completely dismiss racism as being a factor for his apparent dislike.

I can in pretty good confidence say that from my experience it is a factor. I've watched a fair few Khan fights in Public Venues, where the racism has been quite disgusting. To the point where it's pointless going out into town to watch a Khan fight.

Yeah. we're all jealous because we didn't win a medal.
The reference to 'wonder why' is because the same topic comes up everytime he fights.

I've also been to Khan fights and the racism has come from both sides.
