    He gets booed in Manchester? That's pretty shameful. I would have thought he'd get a big crowd from Bolton there?

    I hadn't been too fond of Khan since just before he turned professional. He signed with ******, and ****** paid the great Mario Kindelan off to lose in a televised amateur bout on ITV. This annoyed me big time.

    Didn't you hear about the reception he got against Barrera?

    They didn't just boo him. They hurled racist abuse towards him. And it wasn't just a small number, either.

    The Khan Kindelan match was an obvious fix

    I'm respecting Amir Khan.

    after the fight with Zab.
    though the end of the fight was controversial, Amir was winning.

    but I'd like a rematch.
    I think Zab will knock Amir this time ..

    Khan doesn't help himself with his stupid talk but this guy has been hated since turning pro. The forum crashed when he got KO'd but he gets respect for me especially by proving alot of ppl wrong after that brutal KO

    The people who hate Khan because he's ****stani aren't worth bothering about.
    The boxing fans who dislike him because he's an arrogant ***** (at times) have a far more valid point.
    Just because you don't like him does not mean you are racist.I still enjoy watching him fight.

    Hes a cocky and arrogant little ****.

    People want their sports stars to be humble and personable and he just isnt. The crap he talked after Peterson was unreal. Hope Peterson knocks him the **** out.

    Life's harsh... just learn to ignore the hate. The haters aren't worth a net sum of 20 million dollars.

    Not easy to do when there are actually a notable amount of them about. We've got a few open ones that roam these boards, and there are even more out there in the YouTube world where things are less regulated and people are more inclined speak their mind. Just because racism isn't out there in the open for everyone to see, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Closet racists are the worst of all and they're easily in the highest numbers; hiding behind their 'oh he's **** and arrogant' excuses that I've seen plenty of times on here.

    You were there right behind him in the weigh in? That's why Hatton joined hands with Khan promotions for the McCloskey bout? Watch this video:
