    Seriously why do people hate on the man. I like him. He's fast, quick and you never know if he's going to finish the fight because of his glass jaw.

    Seriously though I have to give credit to a guy who seeks a challenge despite knowing and having a glaring weakness in that chin.

    He doesn't rub in the fact that he beat Barrera because he has the self awareness to realize Barrera was over the hill.

    He make his intentions clear about wanting to fight Floyd and Manny. Because he knows they're over the hill and someone with speed could possibly school them at this point. And he wants a payday.

    What's up with the Khan hate?

    **** Brook. He's running away from the WHOLE TOP 10 by fighting guys like Donut Dan and Gavin. So don't give me the Brook argument.

    Wake up from the Brook arguments, people.

    People hate on Khan because they're little *****es. Plain and simple. Yeah, Khan talks some annoying **** outside the ring, but he's a warrior with a big heart in the ring and he fights with passion.

    Khan took on all threats from Maidana, Judah and unnecessarily took on stylistic threats like Julio Diaz who although past prime was still on a good run and was a big threat to Khan's chin.

    Khan has a weaker chin YET HE'S STILL FIGHTING ON THE TOP LEVEL.

    I agree with some of it but he's not doing any favours to himself with begging for a big payday when there are many good fights for him out there.

    I don't like Khan because he's nowhere near as good as he thinks he is.

    He's already challenged himself numerous times.

    What exactly is so wrong with looking for a payday in Khan's case?

    With that reasoning you should hate most boxers.

    This. He runs his mouth like he's some elite fighter and is entitled to fight mega stars like mayweather and PAC. Bradley was the number 1 guy for years at 140 before he got his shot a PAC and Algieri got a victory over Ruslan that nobody thought he would. Maidana schooled Broner to get the Mayweather fight and put on an exciting match to earn a rematch. Khan has done nothing in years to back up his talk. Beating Alexander, who was destroyed by Bradley and Porter isn't that impressive and neither was his victory over Algieri. PAC showed the difference between good and elite when he fought Algieri.

    Too many reasons to list them all but just off the top of my head...

    The fact he has no ring IQ whatsoever and makes the same mistakes over and over again.

    The fact he was speeding when he ran over a man and broke his leg and then a few months later hadn't learned anything from this and was caught speeding again. That man he ran over was unable to work and his life spiraled out of control and he died a couple of years later a broken man.

    The fact he avoided fighting Alexander, simply expecting to get a shot at Mayweather, something he's been doing ever since. You'd think after the first few times he get it and that he has to earn a shot at a big name like Mayweather or Pac but even to this day he thinks he can just talk himself into a big fight.

    The fact he now ducks anyone that can punch and that he's been avoiding a lucrative fight with Brook because he thinks a bigger fight might materialise, it never has.

    His poor judgement and control of his image. One week he claims he has pulled out of negotiations with Pac as he will not wait for him, then the next week he says a fight with Pac is close. He does this kind of thing all the time, contradicts himself constantly which of course means people don't trust what he says.

    The fact he claimed he is being ducked by guys like Pac and Mayweather when he hasn't done nothing to deserve a fight.

    I was with you till the last one.

    Floyd and Pac fought less deserving fighters than Kahn. IMO Kahn's style would have given him a better chance to beat either of them than the likes of Maidana, Guerrero, Algieri, Berto, etc.

    And Kahn was a higher profile fight which would have assured more
    PPV buys than any of the aforementioned fighters which leads me to believe both Pac and Floyd did duck Kahn.

    He sparred ward and took his best shots
    .he beat Murray up in sparring so no need to fight him

    His hand was forced to fight msrcos as he had been ducking him for years

    And he said fury would win even though nobody heard him

    Just a few of the pearlers he comes out with

    And also undefeated on twitter

    And his fans talk utter s h I t e

    Khan's this and that when he's in the ring? You've gotta get him in the ring first.

    Yeah, he's definitely annoying as hell with his begging for a fight, stinking up the media. That's not how a man should operate, but the bottom line is, social smarts are not really a boxers speciality because they don't have to use it for their trade. This guy knows boxing and nothing else.
