Amir Khan easily gets too big for his boots

Boxing has always had its fair share of 'highly confident to the point of being arrogant' fighters. I like that quality in a boxer unless it reaches Floyd Mayweather levels. Without all these differing personalities the sport wouldn't be as exciting. Imagine if everyone was like Ward before a match. :tired

 

I agree.

 

While I'm not overly impressed with Khan, I find NOTHING at all wrong with him overestimating his abilities, provided he trains hard and tries to improve.

He thinks he can beat Mayweather? Good. I don't want some world champ to be in awe of another and to concede that he's inferior. He's supposed to think he's the best.

I have mixed feelings about whether or not I want to see a Prescott-Khan rematch. While it's usually nice to see a fighter, preferably a champion, rematch someone who's beat him, it's not like Prescott has done **** lately to earn a title shot.

 

Amir is young , not very intelligent and his team is pretty unprofessional , so what would you expect?

Khan still has a lot of questions to answer, lets get it straight , he had a good win against a dangerous puncher , but really this is just a mandatory fight and should not have been that exciting.

Khan is a long way from Mayweather , I still have questions on whether he can compete with best in his own division.

 

I'm a fan too, but sometimes I feel he'll need another knockout to keep him and his ego in check; he's shown he can comeback stronger, but 2 major KOs could be devastating. It's early days from the win, but I don't want this hot air to escalate; to be a real champion, it's good to learn humility, something else he could borrow from Pac. He's still just young and bullish, which accompany a tough fighting mentality, but he needs to shut up and stop trying to emulate the big talkers - it's frustrating as I think he'd have way more fan support if he didn't put people off when he opens his mouth.

 

To be fair to him, he wont be the first fighter to overstate his abilities, look at Froch, Froch has been doing it even before he beat Jermain Taylor.

 

You guys don't understand. It's ok for other boxers to show confidence in their abilities, but not Khan. Nope. Anything he says, is a sign of shameful arrogance. If he says he will unify the 140 division, the little **** needs to be put back into his place. How ****ing dare he.

 

Why does Amir get the hate for doing what so many others before him have done?

Naseem Hamed was x100 this arrogant

Mind you he was hilarious with it, Khan isnt

 

Of course not, dude.

Amir isn't arrogant at all. He's just a young, talented lad that's confident in himself. The only thing he's guilty of, perhaps, is being a little dumb. That's all.

Tell you what, pop onto YouTube, and have a look at his recent interview with Ringside if you want to him act more humble. He talks about the Maidana fight. You'll find there's a huge difference between reading his interviews on a site where statements are taken out of context, and actually watching them.

 

Look the guy just wants it bad! he's really determined. And talking helps sell fights and make match ups. He talked the talk V Maidana and backed it up by taking some full blooded shots.

 

cant stand that lifting his hands **** like pacquiao, clearly copying him, i was heaving watching him do it against maidana lol

 

Great post. lol at the above quote:rofl
