    So, you are saying there is absolutely NO ONE that dislikes him because he is?

    Jerome, are you serious?

    I wouldn't say it if it weren't true. You're talking out your full of **** mouth.

    By the way, you can remove what's written in your sig, because that's one thing Khan isn't

    never gonna have the fanbase like hatton, but does have fans. remember seeing khan vs barrera at MEN arena, barrera definitely got the warmer reception, theres alot of people in the UK who watch his fights in the hope he gets beat.

    Scratch Calzaghe's name from that short list...he didn't become "popular" until after the Lacey bout, and even then it was nothing compared to the fanbase Hatton had. It's a shame really, he didn't get the coverage he probably deserved...which may have also stopped the odd big bout.

    Everyone pretty much knows of his name, not sure if they would stay up till 4.00am to watch him though. I watched the fight with 10 other guys, all English and they were all rooting for him.

    I'm guessing the ones that do hate him, either knowingly or subconciously just dont like him because of his race/religeon. ****stani is probably the most hated race and muslim being the most hated religeon in the UK at the moment. Of course most arent racist but quite a few are...

    no because naseem was oozing personality and he looked unstoppable early in his career, whereas khan didn't.

    I didnt knew naseem was so popular, true he had a lot more charisma then most fighetrs but even so. I like khan he seems more humble and relax now then a few years ago, I hope he stays that way and not become all arogant and about the money again.
    By the way why does it only show ....... when I try to write Khans herritage?

    He was getting major attention untill he started fighting on PPV. Loads of casual fans were talking about his fights, it was great.

    a lot of people wanted to see naseem sparked out too, the welsh were going ape**** when naseem came over and started humiliating their home town boy steve robinson

    because P A K I is a term used by racists to refer to ****stanis.

    same when you write C H I N Ks in the armour.

    yeah but that was the problem as well, the casual fans were buying into it that khan had mayweathers skills and pacquaios relentless power, they paid £15 to watch him on his ppv debut.... then prescott KOd him in 50 seconds.

    Its nothing to do with the fact Khan is a muslim, the guy is a total wanker thats why the average joe doesnt like him. I know quite a few people that have paid to watch him fight live just to see him get sparked out, countless more buy his PPV for the same reason.

    Most Scottish people i speak to dislike Khan for the massive count he took (was handed) against Willie Limmond. I myself cant stand him basically because he beats a total tomato can or a nobody then goes on TV the next day claiming to be the second coming.

    Props for beating Maidana but i guarantee there will be no rematch, Khan will now go to the UK and "shut up" john Murray, a guy with a perfect record but bad resume. Will be like Mitchell v Katsidis.
