    Yes. Has crazy talent but needs to improve big time in other areas. US, Las Vegas Nevada.

    Yes, the way he managed to bounce back from the Prescott loss has really made me a fan of his. Never really was before.

    Not many people can come back from such a debilitating loss like that and go on to achieve so much, that takes a special kind of fighter I think. And to go back in there with even HARDER punchers like Maidana and Judah?, that just plain takes a lot of balls and self belief. If nothing else you have to admire his heart.

    Can't stand him. His skillset doesn't impress me and he seems like a tool

    I think he is the most entertaining & exciting boxer to watch in the sport currently after pacman.
    Not too keen on him as a person though he talks a load of bollocks and sounds like a dumb footballer repeating his words all the time.

    If you don't like watching khan fights then I question whether you even like this sport.

    Hell no, only for the past 30 years or so. To be honest I didn't think a massive Khan fan would like what I had to say. That's my opinion, it's out there. Different strokes for different folks.
     
  8. But your opinion was total b**locks as just 2 fights ago he fought the biggest puncher in his division.

    It would be better if everyone states their reasons why they like or dislike him.

    yes, Amsterdam/Netherlands.

    Like: his heart, his ambition, him coming back from that ko, him not ducking anyone, being more humble, his speed and potential, willingness to fight the best.

    Dislike: overlooking opponents, being alreayd on a floyd/pac level in his mind, his flaws during a fight, letting his family have to much power over him, him not really correcting the flaws.

    Khan isnt my favourite boxer, but I do like him and root for him in many fights and hope he becomes a good champion that will achieve success in 3 divisions.

    USA, and yes. I wasn't too impressed with his career path initially because it seemed like he was being managed like a hype job, but how he rebounded after the Presscott fight and his subsequent level of competition has won me over. I respect guys who bounce back from adversity and overcome it to keep challenging themselves, which Amir's done. That's also one reason I'm a big fan of Wlad.

    He's young, but he's already shown enough mental toughness to overcome a loss, and he's already fought a wide range of fighters without backing down. Even those who aren't fans ought to at least respect him for that.
     
  15. I think he is getting his name out there rather than overlooking fighters...he called out Bradley and he didnt want a fight so cant blame Khan there and Im glad he had a domestic fight with Mcloskey...and I give Khan more chance than Ortiz to beat PBF
