    People don't like protected hype jobs with no chins.

    NOTHING TO DO WITH ETHNICITY

    Modest,reasonably talented olympic silver medallist suddenly becomes big mouthed, arrogant chinless idiot after a few wins over lacklustre opposition.Credit where credits due,but Khan is still unproven in many peoples eyes,and unlikely to reach elite level with a glass jaw.Another Warren clone.

    I didn't like him before the Prescott fight, but he gained some respect since. I hope he does well in his next few fights.

    Same here. He seems to have mellowed a bit since then. Moving to LA and training with Roach has helped him. He even admitted he's not ready for JMM yet! The old Khan would have said he'd knock Marquez out :lol:.

    I like him, I think Khan and Haye will be the biggest fighters for britain for the next 5 years.

    I don't undertand when ppl use excuses not to like him such as " he's arrogant, big mouth, hype job" etc etc,.

    First of all he's not arrogant, compared to boxers like Hatton and Calzhage , Khan is modest. Hatton and Calzaghe both came from Wank Warren's stable and were both hype jobs yet the brits loved them.

    Khan will be a top champion for the brits but im afraid a big amount of his compatriots will never take the shine to him. Abit sad really but thats the brits for you.

    Probably chin, don't think that ethnicity has anything to do with it.

    u cant seriously think the brits hate khan because of his dicky chin, Haye has a dodgy chin too yet he doesnt get half the hate.

    Hayes chin ins't anywhere ner as bad as Khans, when has Haye been clean KO'd by a nobody? or even KO'd?

    Khans been matched with featherfisted journeyman who are often coming up in weight.. and he was still get dropped constantly.
