Why I am not fully sold on Amir Khan

[Hunter]

It is hard to become sold on a guy that was beat down by a crap fighter like Bredis Prescott. But It has happened to other fighters that went on to become pretty good fighters like Lennox Lewis and Wladimir. Just takes time and some good fights to get the destruction out of your mind.

If it was just Khan's fight against Prescott you had to get out of your mind that would be one thing, but getting beatdown and nearly knocked out by Maidana stands out as well. I'm not saying Khan isn't a good fighter, but if he wasn't a Brit media darlin' and HBO's lastest promo poster boy, I doubt that he'd be getting nearly as much attention for what he's been able to accomplish so far.
