    A large majority of white folk dislike him.

    Alot of casuals dislike him because they only remember the Prescott KO (including coloured people)

    But he still has a decent fan following, hes bigger than Froch thats for sure

    Yeah it must be racism. Nothing to do with him being a complete twat.

    Britain is full of casual fans. They just jump on the latest bandwagon and ride it like a hooker. Thats the sort of ****** following Haye has, just following on the back him chopsing.

    When England won the rugby world cup, all of England were suddenly rugby fanatics. Overnight. The only players many could name were Wilkinson and Johnson, yet millions of these guys went and bought their St Georges cross flags and cried with devotion as the parade went past.

    By the following week they were back to hating rugby.

    It can't be anything to do with Racism. No one is racist. Everyone likes each other. We live in a world of peace where no one judges people on Colour or Religion.

    Damn Jerome, I'd like to live in your world.

    Stop being a bitter ****.

    I've only recently started liking him, he impressed me during the Malignaggi bout.

    If the people who don't like him felt how I felt about Khan, I didn't particularly like the way his career started off with somewhat of a silver spoon. Now don't get me wrong, he had the talent...but he was being given opportunities (example: His last amateur bout televised, and fixed for him to win. His pro debut televised)...some World champions still don't get televised, or get the coverage they deserve. This is why I didn't like Khan.

    But he's come back well, and earned his World Title. It's not all about, 'He's not liked because of his race'...a small minority don't like him because of his race, but it's not everyone, or even close to everyone. Not everyone is going to like you, you can't just blame it all on racism.

    Done a poll, have you? I didn't get a form.

    Being a white Englishman who quite likes Khan means I guess I'm in a minority.

    Twat.

    Thats exactly how I felt, the silver spoon part was so true, and one of the reasons he got the moniker "a mere con". the casual fans buying into the massive hype despite all of his early flaws got a huge shock on his ppv debut... as did khan himself.

    he's a bit of a ***** and says some silly things but lucky for him he got a good run of fights which were shown on terrestrial tv which means he is now well known unlike someone like Carl Froch who could walk around London unoticed!!

    u aint gonna get the type of Hatton crowds going over to Vegas for a while!!

    That's exactly what I'm trying to get across, but Jerome is saying that Race/Religion is not a factor at all, when it clearly is.

    :rofl You ******, go look through my posts. John Murray used to be one of my favourite fighters till he started fading in getting good level opposition.

    You know, the weird thing is, I love Carl Froch. I must be a racist, huh? :think
