    exacty the thing with hatton is appauling, whos a british legend......barrera whos an ATG, now they want to fight morales? anotehr ATG, sure Khan will talk **** about him......this kid who really hasnt done ****, and gets a gift of a world title by warren, has the audacity to disrespect some of these greats.....and whats wierd as well is roach seems to be promoting this behavior by khan as well.....they act like a fight with morales would be a legit thing to do....no, its not freddie....

    khan grows some balls and fight prescott or maidana...

    I don't hate Khan for the record. I think he is talented and young so maybe his day of true greatness will come someday. But that day isn't today and he's been built up by the media, fueled by his promoter as the next big thing. A false expectation has been drawn and that's why I think he has so many haters.

    It`s the old green eyed monster syndrone. He`s young,gifted and British. Deep down the haters wish he was from THEIR country.

    I beleive him to be a ducker he hasnt fought for the british or euro titles because he ducked the champs of those belts at the time ( murray, thaxton, romanov). also he is saying winning this world title is a dream come true and now he wants to become a p4p great! haha. I will put good money on that he gives this "dream" title back rather than fill the mandatory against maidana! hes a fraudster!!!!

    How in the hell does this relate to Khan himself , so just because the boy seems to posses pretty special skills and people rate him to be a little bit above average they hate him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Disguisting , it really is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! , he is a humble young man with lots of skills and a great future !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Khan is clearly influenced by Freddie Roach , in just the same way Pacquio is , Roach wants whats right for his fighters and at the right time which is the most important thing of that small equation .

    If you actually sat down and listened to Khan and read interviews the kid does , and im not talking pre or post Kotelnik im talking generally speaking , you would know that a) it is not him who wants the Hatton fight its a combination of Roach and team Hatton (obvioulsy this is a pre Kotelnik story) b) if it was up to Khan he would be back in the ring with Prescott tomorrow and c) its Roach again pushing for Morales !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Khan does what Freddy wants because if he doesnt then find a new gym and hell its worked for Pacquiao !!!!!!!!!

    A quick google search should confirm it. :goodYet before fighting Kotelnik Khan was sending Hatton a letter with something like "Watch out, sick Ricky". Sick is mentioned there because Hatton was taken to hospital recently for food poisoning.

    Well, I liked Khan at first but his arrogance made me hate the little twat. However, nobody thought he would win a world title and I have to give him credit where it is due. Good luck to the kid, he's improved and made the critics eat their words.

    A lot of it was down to his arrogance and hype. But, the knockout brought him back down to Earth somewhat so lets give the kid a chance and see what he can do.

    a bit of racism...

    a bit of envy (hes a millionaire @22)

    Hes come back from adversity.


    Khan isnt a great fighter but hes shown some bottle coming back the way he has at the age he has. Hes also comes accross as a well rounded family guy. good luck to him

    He has improved and everything but I don't think he will ever be as good as Mayweather or De La Hoya like he was built to be, I think he is actually quite good now but he has only won a lww title against a weak champion at 22 I hardly see him winning a ww world title at 25 against Cotto or someone like that. I really hope Hatton takes this fight now because he could beat him IMO based on that performance especially if he does extra training and comes in as fit as he used to.
