    Attention wise, how do Khan fans feel about being nudged out the UK picture, possibly into third place?

    i wonder how andre ward and his fans feel being blown into a low position with all the good fights that are happening.

    Judah is cooked mate, he's been done for years, it's not a good fight at all.

    To be perfectly honest I think its makes perfect sense that Haye and Froch fights are getting more "attention" than Khans fight with Judah. The reason is simple Haye is a heavyweight and heavy weight fights attract more attention than the smaller weight categories, Froch is 34 odd years old and doesnt have many fights left in his career, His is going to loose to Andre Ward anyway.

    That aside I think Khan will have the better legacy than both Haye and Froch combined, Time is on Khan and his fans side.

    Put it this way Froch is 10 years older than Khan and had almost the same amount of world title fights as Khan, Six so far! :D

    Froch has been criminally underrepresented by the media since he made it.

    Oddly, as Khan has got more deserved of attention in the UK, actually achieved something as a pro, his profile over here has probably decreased.:huh

    Yeah Khans profile is nowhere near as it was back in 2006/2007 in the UK but alot of that has to do with Frank W putting Khan on PPV overly early aswell as Khan moving to America.

    But Internationally Khan is now bigger, He lives, trains and fights in America on HBO, His fights are shown in the UK on Sky/Primetime, His fights are shown in Pakstan/Philiphines/Middle east aswell.

    so?

    why should khan fans feel bad about 2 other better fights getting more attention?

    from what i've seen most khan fans here also like haye and froch.

    Froch is an absolute warrior though, he's thrilling to watch because you admire the durability and toughness of the man, he's just an hard ******* lol.

    Khan isn't a warrior, he's exciting to watch I give him that but thats mainly because people know how vulnerable he is when he gets hit, he didn't prove he had a great chin against Maidana at all, he was rocked everytime Maidana landed flush, what's he gonna be like when he meets a hungry fighter who can hit fast, hard and with a lot more accuracy and output than Maidana, his time is up he just doesn't know it.

    Speaking in general, I'd say Khan's profile over here recently has taken a bit of a nose dive.

    not really....

    khan has the same type of support he's always had, asian people.


    plus he won over a lot of fans with his FOTY nominated fight.

    Khan has moved beyond fighting in the MEN he is now fighting in MSG and Las Vegas.

    Why would I care?

    @jcairns1 What are you on? Rocked everytime Maidana landed flush? It's time for you to watch the fight again.

    Well no ****. Obviously, if you fight in America for a year, that's to be expected.
