is amir khan the new darling of uk boxing fans?

[ICB]

Why would beating a very unlikable Paulie Malignaggi, make him the new darling of the UK ? i knew as soon as this fight was announced. That Amir Khan would dominate Paulie Malignaggi. I told Bilbo that Amir Khan would be able to walk right through him, when he realize's Paulie Malignaggi poses no danger power wise. But he obviously would of known that before the fight.

Which is why the fight was chosen, Paulie Malignaggi is somewhat of a name in the US. And its a good fight for Amir Khan, to look dominant in his US debut. Im still not sold on him.

Yes it was a good performance and he showed a good jab, but he was caught quite a few times early on. Its just Amir Khan was able to man handle him because Paulie Malignaggi is weak.

Paulie Malignaggi isn't a bad boxer and its good Amir Khan outboxed him, but i still don't think Paulie Malignaggi is that good. Outside of the 2nd Juan Diaz fight, and taking a good beating from Miguel Cotto, he's looked mostly mediocre in alot of his fights.

Can i just say to the Americans that the reason us Brits, don't like him. Is because of his attitude outside the ring, aswell as other incidents. As a boxer i think he's fine but he's still got alot of proving to do, beating Paulie Malignaggi didn't prove that much to me.

He should revenge his defeat to Breidis Prescott, because that loss won't go away. Until he revenges it, i think he should do that, before he thinks about anything else. If Kevin Mitchell can outbox Breidis Prescott, Amir Khan should be able to.

And i'll respect him for doing that, then i'll start getting behind him as a boxer forgetting his outside life.
