    When I flip on boxing, I want to be entertained for a bit; take my mind off of work and life. Boxing is a sport I love because it displays incredible skill, drama, and heart.

    That said, no matter your opinion of Khan the person, or Khan the fighter, he is easily one of the most exciting fighters on the planet. He's fast, he engages, and he is always one punch away from getting KTFO. He's easily my favorite fighter to root against, although I respect the hell out of him for taking tough fights. Plus, his fanboys make his losses so much sweeter.

    Simply put, you never know what will happen in a Khan fight, and that is great for boxing. This is the entertainment business, after all.

    In his day, he was on my list. You never knew what the guy would do outside the ring, but you always knew he would engage inside the ring.

    For the record, my all time #1 entertaining fighter is Gatti. Khan is not on the all time list, though.

    Of course it is,and that's why despite his annoying persona,I love watching him fight.
    And it's also why I'm sad that I feel he needs to retire.Even if it doesn't happen during his career,I fear he will suffer badly if he keeps taking punches.His heart is huge but his chin wasn't made to be hit.
    He's a boxing tragedy waiting to happen.

    He is exciting even though he has an ugly Kangaroo-like style. Kudos on him on sticking with the kangaroo style in the midst of being sparked too.
