is amir khan the new darling of uk boxing fans?

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.

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.

He is, haven't you heard? It is a bit odd to be honest.

from the responses, i deduce amir is 2 to 3 impressive wins away from becoming the darling of uk boxing fans. right now he's more of a floyd jr uk version. good boxing skills but brash outside the ring.

I wouldn't deduce that from this thread. He might become the most well known but I think in terms of affection people will always go for down to earth guys like Mitchell, Murray, Moore et al.

2 things, either he becomes the darling of uk boxing fans or the uk version of floyd jr.

I think Miles would still be writing his vitriolic little pieces about how overrated he is even were he to be considered the greatest of all time.

No, credit where credit is due. Khan fought very well in beating Paulie as easily as he did. Khan is never going to be a fighter that gets close to my tender little heart like Barrera, Hatton, Calzaghe nor Toney, but if he beats quality opponents I will always give some level of credit. If he would work on his public image a bit more and stop saying and doing the most ridiculous things he might be more likeable. He came across pretty well in the post fight interview, if only he was more like it when the cameras were off. He still needs to fight a hungry, young puncher though and there is no way to get around that.

And who said I have a picture of Khan's naked torso on my wall? Take that back or I will set the ravenous Charlie Z upon you!
