    The thing is people hate but really I dont understand why, fair enough he does get alot of hype surrounding him but it's not his fault, he is still young and he is learning his trade.

    At this point I would put him in there with the likes of Maidana, Ortiz, Malignaggi, but guys like Kendall Holt and Devon Alexander would probably give him alot harder fights. I would even say that Zab Judah at this stage would be a fantastic fight for him and one that would definitely be worth watching.

    I dunno why Khan is hated either. Seems like a decent guy who has far more exciting fights than boring ones, shows a lot of dedication to his craft and real heart/grit on more than one occasion. He got brutally knocked out and just went right back to work, and has become a better fighter as a result. Sure, he has a shaky chin -- but why does that automatically mean disliking him? Bit of an odd connection, as far as I'm concerned. I'm more concerned with personality and fighting style than chin, but whatever. Every high profile fighter has haters, so let 'em continue if they get a kick out of it.

    Oh boy, Khan is getting overrated again. Can't believe that glass-jawed JOKE is actually winning this poll!

    Man, I can't wait till that china chin gets shattered again and the bubble is burst once more!!! :lol:
