But that was more to fo with people just not caring before. They never actually disliked the guy,and I think Froch is far more cocky.
How would a Marquez vs Khan fight (the solid weight adjusted Marquez from the last Pac fight) play out right now? They are not that far apart size wise currently.
It was a cracking fight and should have earned him many fans but as he has a habit of doing whenever things don't go his way he whines like a spoilt child. He got warned about pushing how many times, he kept doing it, it was inevitable he'd lose points. I thought the scores were very good, consistent on most rounds, none of them knee jerked and gave the last round to Peterson 10-8 which I've seen so mnay ******s on here do, assume a point deduction means it was to be 10-8 for the other guy, it was 9-9 which was the right call to me. He has literally no one but himself to blame, he won the fight on all 3 cards without those fouls. Moaning about unfair refereeing makes him look like a baby and rightfully got him booed by the live crowd who I'm sure would have developed alot of respect for him after that fight up to that point.

He may have if he didnt decide to be a ****ing ***** during the post fight interviews and press conferences. Gave Lamont no credit at all really showed an arragont side while Lamont stayed humble. He fought with heart as always though but dissapointed in his attitude through defeat it was very close but i believe Lamont got the nod by a single round, end of story.
If anything he will have lost fans based on the post fight conference. He seemed very reluctant to give credit to his opponent - if he'd offered his congratulations to Peterson before complaining, he wouldn't have seemed so ungracious.
I've been a fan of his for a while, because he's a good fighter with a good attitude. He level of competition has progressed step-by-step and he's show willingness to fight the best. Now he has lost a fight to Peterson - who I was actually really impressed with - and it's not the end of the world. It's part of boxing and I doubt it will set Khan back too far. People often attach way too much significance to a defeat, when it's a young fighter against a top opponent, it's just part of a fighter's evolution.
I like KKKKKHHHHAAAAANNNNNNNNN! I think this is another bump in the road and he will rebound. I think people underrated Peterson based off of the Bradley fight (Ortiz didn't help either). What I saw in that ring last night was Peterson finally reaching his full potential and KKKKKKHHHHHAAAANNNN not being able to adjust to Peterson's plan B. I think what this has also showed was that while roach id great a building up a fighter, other trainers are starting figure out his style of training and are exploiting holes in his gameplan. Freddy has to work on several things with KKKKKHHHHHAAAAANNN, Pac and etc. the all have holes that can be worked on!
No one can question Khans heart imo he has one of the best in the game. Having said that he was abit of a ***** post fight
Maybe. But only fans of snakes and excuse makers. I thought he fought a dirty ass fight and lost all respect for him as he bitched to the ref constantly
Constantly running, holding, pushing away, elbowing and turning his back didn't win me over. Plus his disgraceful interview. I hope Peterson fights Bradley and tells Khan to FO it will be poetic justice for him refusing to give Prescott a rematch.
I was never a fan of Khan, and after last night i AM STILL not a fan of Khan...Im happy for Lamont, and im glad Khan lost. :yep
