    I watched a lot of his early fights and always liked him. Ive just gone off him from his interviews, media stuff, him on twitter etc

    Nope never. I like fighters with a bit of ring intelligence, from the beginning of his pro career he showed a total inability to know how to utilise his physical assets to his advantage. Thought he had sorted that out but then in his last fight abandoned all he had learnt with Roach and fought like an idiot again.

    I will root for him as a Brit but if he loses it will probably put a smile on my face just like when he got KO'ed by Prescott.

    Would not shock me if he gets cocky against Judah and fights overly aggressive and gets countered and stopped again.

    Nope. I still feel he's being protected and being fed fighters that are either past their prime or not likely to test his chin, yet being marketed as better than he is, as a cynical Brit who's seen many fighters like him come and go I just won't buy it until he proves me wrong. He's yet to have that career defining fight.

    :huh Maidana didn't test his chin? Dude, the kid's 24. You expect him to have a career defining fight already? Maybe he should be allowed to have a career first?

    Yes. Massive Fan.

    I am From the UK. Followed him from olympics to current date and watched every fight apart from the Bredis presscot fight (i partly blame myself for his only loss as i wasnt watching)

    People dislike him because he has a weak chin but then complain about 1 sided snore beat downs when one fighter dominates another. With Khan his weakness keeps you on your seat at all times.

    Put simply he is an entertaining fighter

    Good take.......

    And his chin AINT that bad. He is a quick recoverer typically.

    I am a fan.....
