why dont i like amir khan?

[Gandalf]

Im not one to dislike boxers, or critisize their styles or go on about how overrated they are when they lose

i have disliked fighters, andre dirrell for one and i dont rate wlad klit that highly

i definately have never really disliked a british fighter, in fact i am usually always well in support of them

so why dont i like khan? anyone any ideas?

You will like him more when he arrogantly steps up to 147 and is licking the canvas in Las Vegas.

I didn't know you could change weightclasses 'arrogantly'...

I suppose he could do it meekly, but that would be gay. You might as well go up in weight and have some confidence in your abilities.

Amir Khan is a strange one. I don't particularly hate him as some think, but I do dislike him. There is just something about him that I cannot warm to. I always struggle with fighters who are made millionaires before their fight totals reach double digits. Then it's the shameless pawning of the fighter on PPV before they really deserve to be. Then it's the cocky comments. Then it's the freak 'win' over Barrera. Then it's more pointless filler just to take advantage of mugs who have bought into the hype. Then it's stories about stealing contracts from hotel rooms. Then it's more filler in McCloskey. Then it's another dodgy stoppage. It's just hard to warm to a fighter who seems to be continually associated with nonsense and carry on.

Maidana and Malignaggi are his best wins and an old Morales has already put up as almost a good showing against Maidana whilst totally outside his optimal weightclass. Malignaggi has been beaten up before. Let's see him against Bradley, that will show us all.

To be fair to Khan. He can only fight whats put in front of him. If his promoter wants to pay him daft money early in his career, then it's hardly his fault. Would you as a young boxer turn down that sort of money and exposure, especially after having a good Olympics games ? Dam sure I wouldnt
