Got people shitting on Khan who worship at the altar of fighters who only pay lip service to taking on some of the fighters he did or who have/are or would duck them like the plague

On reflection I suspect he regrets adding Dibb to the list...

And people hate him. One of UK's most influential fighters. After his success at the Olympics (which ABA changed their rules to allow Amir Khan compete at 17, they were that happy with him), Amateur boxing evolved as the government started throwing money at the sport thanks to the success of Amir Khan, which is why we now get a lot more entries and medals every year. Gyms got grants and support, Team GB fighters now got sponsorships that they could actually live on etc. AJ and most Olympians know all this too. They hardly say negative stuff about Khan due to this.

Helped promote boxing in Asia and Middle East. Supports a lot of British fighters.

According to Tyson Fury, Amir Khan also spoke to Bob Arum to put in a good word for TF which is why they now work together (pretty cool)

What Khan did for British boxing is very much under appreciated.
