I am a khan fan. Why do people hate him.

[Chino]

I have watched Khans whole career and have enjoyed watching his fights.
With Murray as the other up and coming star I was suprised that people prefered him to Khan when he had 30 fights against 30 nobodies. By that time Khan was a champion.
People were angry because they didnt think he deserved to go up that fast but why not when you beat people in front of you. He does not have many more challenges in his devision accept Timothy Bradley. A guy Khan is calling out and bad mouthing, but Bradley wont respond. If Khan did this he would be insulted and shamed by everone.
SO PLEASE TELL ME WHY YOU HATE KHAN AND WHY HE IS BAD FOR THE SPORT.
Im not trying to be a prick I simply dont understand what is wrong with Khan.

For me it's not about "hating" Khan, he's just not a favorite. It's like he's the latest over-hyped overrated Brit media sensation that's being shoved in our faces as the next big thing. Everyone seems to forget that he got totally annihilated by Prescott a couple years ago, and got his ass handed to him by Maidana, barely avoiding getting KTFO again.

Did he Maidana was the one I remebmer rolling around on the floor

Yes he did, in the first round. A well connected body punch. After that, round later, it only took a good punch to his glass jaw to change from boxer mode to survival mode.

Green, it's fair to rate Khan highly, he's a solid boxer with a lot of potential. No doubt about it. I'm not huge on his arrogance, but hey, that's just me.

If it didn't appear Bradley ducked Khan for money reasons, there would be no debate as to who should be ranked higher at junior welterweight.

1. Bradley is undefeated.
2. Bradley has fought better competition.
3. Bradley has gone up in weight to 147, won, and then come back to 140.
4. Khan is fighting now fighting Peterson, someone Bradley beat a few fights ago.
5. Bradley beat the consensus number two/three junior middleweight in Devon Alexander. It's better than Khan's wins.

Khan has a solid resume too and there are good counter arguments to why he should be ranked higher.

1. Khan beat Maidana.
2. Khan unified with Zab Judah although Judah had no chance in that fight.
3. Khan beat Kotelnik, which is a good win.

Ask yourself though, do wins over Lamont Peterson and Zab Judah do much for you? Not a ton. It comes down to in a way how much you value Khan's loss against Prescott and who you view as a tougher fight, Maidana or Alexander? Personally, taking into consideration when they fought which opponent, I like Junior Witter, Kendall Holt, nate Campbell, Lamont Peterson, Abregu at 147, and Alexander with no lossses more than Kotelnik, Paulie, Salita, McCloskey and Maidana. But, its close.

The punch he landed that rocked Khan was around the tenth round. He had khan in that round and the eleventh but Khan started coming back in the twelfth.

I think the fact that Khan has a crap chin makes him a better fighter. Rather see a guy block a punch than defend it with there face. That is not skill it is just lucky you were born with a good jaw.

Khan gets a load of stick for being over confident and cocky, but I don't think I've seen a fighter who doesn't think he's better than he is!! Or at least say he is to the media!!

He gets stick for being rocked and 'almost' knocked out by maidana. People don't talk about him dropping maidana and actually winning the fight!! He showed a lot of heart there. He also wants to fight the best, boxing would be a hell of a lot more entertaining if all fighters had that attitude!!

I'm a fan anyway, tons of potential and never really in a dull fight! I'll be cheering him on with a few beers on Saturday night!!

[Manos de Piedra]

I don't hate the guy, quite like him actually. He can be full of himself and thinks he's better than he is but atleast he wants to fight anyone and tried making the best fight in his division. If people don't like him I can understand why.

[Dark Lord Al]

i dont hate Khan im just cheering for the guy he is fighting each time he steps in the ring

[Master]

The more people are disliking Khan the more he wins the more I am becoming a fan of his.

[Pugilist Sound]

ITs just the accent.

[Dropanuke]

He just fucks me off, his whole demeanour, self credit and self hype and serious lack of personality.
I hate how he picked the weakest world champion to get the belt from.
See with prince Naseem it was edge of the seat stuff, he had charisma etc.

[erics44]

for some reason i have struggled to really get behind him

i dont even think he is that cocky compared to a lot of boxers at the level he is at

and i disagree with who said he doesnt deserve a fight with pac or mayweather yet, why doesnt he? who else is there? who deserves one more? id say he would give both those fighters as much of a test as anyone

so i dont know what it is, why i havent warmed to him, i still watch all his fights and enjoy them tho

[fairyrak]

although his style for me is ugly (not very unique and not extremely technical), i like him, he has had some good psychological traits, he

1)has been trash talker while somewhat reasonable

2)he has looked for big fights instead of avoiding them

3)hasn't cried because a blood test

3)hasn't fought many old shot legends

4) hasn't seemed afraid, like jc chavez, canelo, mayweather, pacquiao always look

5) hasn't fought ridiculously bad in a bight fight and been outboxed, i prefer knocked out cold than outboxed or stupid

But
1)he doesn't offer a fair money %

[Mattyhitman]

I dont hate him, some peeps just dont take to boxers. I dont like Mayweather, but I do respect his skills and achievements.

A good thing for Khan, when he got KO'd he knew he had to change everything about his training and prep for fights, and realised if he wanted to get to the big time he needed to change.
So he left home and uprooted himself to the US and joined the Roach clan. Best and most mature thing to do. He's reaping the benefits of this, and good on him.

I am a khan fan. Why do people hate him.

Maybe its you?

[imp]

I like khan. I just wanted him to beat prescott. So prescott didnt improve..but he didnt have golden boy behind him.
