is amir khan the new darling of uk boxing fans?

[ono]

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.

Even if he beats Prescott, that loss is still there because it was spectacular. He'll always be one punch away from being ko'd whenever he fights even a mediocre hitter. If he beats Prescott it'll just means he's gone 1-1 with a banger.

No it will show he has improved, and he has the heart to go in with a puncher, and revenge his loss like a man.

Considering Prescott's subsequent career I'd say fighting him now would be a step backwards for Khan. Maidana can bang a bit, why no tbe happy if he fights him, in a fight that HBO can actually sell?

I don't think it does. 9 times out of 10 that version of Khan probably beats Prescott anyway. He's unlikely to face Prescott now anyway. His stock has dropped quite a lot since he beat Khan.

Bilbo and Ono, he needs to revenge that defeat. Yes fighting Marcos Rene Maidana, would also be a good fight. But i would like him to revenge that defeat, Oliver McCall's stock had dropped when Lennox Lewis fought him aswell. But he still fought him and revenged that defeat. I think Amir Khan would get alot of credit for beating a puncher, and revenging his only loss.

I hope the guy gets popular if he can continue to win, every guy deserves it i guess. I know a lot of people hate him and he sends out nudie photos or whatever but he's a kid. He's got a little bit of fame a little bit of cash of course he's going to be an asshole. I didn't learn too much last night cause we all already knew he could box i wanted to see how he would take a couple of clean hard shots. But he barely even let paulie ( who granted probably couldn't ko my daughter if you offerered her half of what khan got to stay up 12 rounds ) get the chance to. I want to see if khan can fight that same way when he has to actually worry about what might come back. Anyhow i like him more than i did before last night anyway. They are matching him very smart, but his job is to beat whoever is there.....and he is. Good enough for me.

Would beating Maidana make up for it? Because it's likely he won't fight Prescott.

Yes beating Marcos Rene Maidana would make up for it, he hits just as hard if not harder than Breidis Prescott. And he holds a version of a world title, so yes beating a puncher like Marcos Rene Maidana. Would answer alot of questions for me.

But it would be nice if at some point he could revenge that loss, just to say he has beaten every man he has faced. Obviously as i said beating Marcos Rene Maidana is just as good if not better, but its just nice to have the luxury. Of rubbing off that one bad loss.

Can you stop keep him calling him Marcos Rene Maidana, just Maidana will do.

You no what ICE I think if Khan is looking to get a fight in quick before end of July Presscott is ideal, I was thinking that when he said July I was thinking fuck me thats only 10/11 weeks away, but I think he should fight Prescott and put that fight to bed.
