is amir khan the new darling of uk boxing fans?

[Lefty]

Khan will never ever get the fanbase that David Haye has got here nor be more popular in this country than Haye.

[:::PSL:::]

Not yet.

[OumaFan]

He doesn't need to fight Prescott again, he just needs to show he can beat a guy that can really punch. Maidana would do, after he beats him some would just say he beat a slow, crude guy but I think overall he'd get more credit.

[toe2toe]

No can't see him ever being popular over here now. too many haters from the outset as audley did etc..

I don't like him - no secret - but he did do a clinical job last night. Just tired of his mouth how he wants to face him and him and him etc.. but we all know the next opponent will be a good 'but not dangerous' one.

I have a long way to go before I have posters of him on my wall like Miles does thats for sure

miles do have this photo of amir on his wall (originally sent to model leanne crow)

For only having 1% bodyfat his abs aren't that defined. ICB's are way better.

If he beats Maidana then why not..

impressive us debut. is amir khan the new darling of uk boxing fans?

poll included

No, people know that he is a decent fighter. People dont like his attitude he talks out of his arse most of the time,thats why alot of people dont like him it has got nothing to do with his boxing ability imo.

I'd kinda disagree there.
The people that hate him still criticise his boxing ability. No matter who he beats and how, they will find fault. That's just the way some folk are.

I think he is a good fighter but i dislike him because of the way he presents himself and the dumbshit he does if he had a decent chin to back up his stupidity i would be more inclined to support him but he doesn't.

I agree, he just talks way too much poo for me without the back-up. But he's getting there I'd say. He's beat paulie now, which is years ahead of what Hatton achieved at his age.

True, but Hatton was never fast tracked like Amir Khan and headlining PPV's whilst fighting bums early on. Hatton worked his way up the proper way, but Warren did hold him back a bit too long. We shouldn't knock Hatton though, as he has proven he has balls. Khan is on the right track with the Paulie fight, but it's still a case of fighting leftovers. He needs to prove himself a champ by fighting someone hungry who can actually punch back. He hasn't been doing that at all, let's see if he really does fight a puncher next.

That's fair enough, i can see how his talk can annoy folk, but i do just think he opens his mouth without thinking, it's nothing malicious he says, just 'daftness'.
I still sense a hatred of him from some quarters which i just can't fathom though, as he really doesn't warrent that IMO.

[superheavyrhun]

As has been previously mentioned, I think Khan's conduct out of the ring is what will prevent him from becoming the darling of the UK fans. He's a good fighter, who has overcome a suspect chin with the help of one of the best trainers in the world, and as Bilbo mentioned will be fighting at the top level for years to come.

Personally, I support most British fighters unless they come over as being particularly obnoxious, and I look forward to seeing Khan go from strength to strength, but I doubt he'll ever fight in a style that will make him my favourite.
