    I very rarely join the bandwagon when people put fighters down, but Khan has got to be the most deluded fighter around today.
    His opinion of himself is out of the stratosphere.

    "I haven't fought in the UK for seven years. It is time to come back home now so I am looking at fighting in March," Khan told talkSPORT.

    "Then I plan to fight again in the UK around September time and then at the end of the year I want a big fight, wherever that is.

    "There are some big, big announcements I will make within the next ten days before I go back to training camp in America. This is news everyone is going to be shocked hearing."

    Wonder what that is? Brook is fighting in March, so Brook v Khan in September makes sense.

    Which UK Promoter would Khan work with ? He has been critical of Hearns so perhaps Warren would be his choice and Frankie boy would be no doubt pushing a Bradley Skeete fight ? Would Khan be interested as that is a high risk low prestige/purse fight ? Brook is the cash out type of fight for both fighters with the winner perhaps getting a crack at a champion but I doubt whether it would be Spence or Thurman which leaves Horn who being a WBO champion ( Warren Boxing Org) puts the ball back in Warren's court but that pesky Skeete is the provibual fly in the ointment!!! Decisions , decisions it's not easy being Amir .

    I dislike him, I didn't when he was an amateur but as soon as he turned over he changed, his arrogance and delusional opinions became unbearable.

    It all went south for me when very early in his career he basically refused to fight Thaxton and John Murray because according to Khan he was "already above domestic level" but then fought far worse fighters at the time, the thing is I believe he would have probably beaten both at that time but they were potentially good fights.

    I agree 100%, his ring IQ is shocking, it always lets him down.

    The Garcia fight displays it for me, Garcia kept throwing that left hook, the same shot over and over and was miles away with it at first but it kept getting closer and closer and what did Khan do? Absolutely nothing about it, kept doing the same thing himself.

    I remember watching it with a couple of people and we all kept saying "Garcia is getting closer and closer" then BANG, Khan on his back.

    Top fighters would have seen the danger and tried to make sure they didn't get caught with that left hand but Khan didn't and then had the audacity to say "I was dominating until I got caught with a lucky shot"

    Yeah he dominated for 6 minutes of a 36 minute fight then took a beating.

    Fwank suckling up to khan
    Khan watching horn
    Skeete is with fwank calling out khan
    Skeete as wbo ranking which khan desperately needs
    All roads lead to skeete it seems and that could be fore the British which khan as never wanted to entertain with Murray
    I'm taking a complete guess

    Haha I was half joking, Eggington is hard but quite basic. Khan in his prime wins easily however you just wouldn't know now with Khan.
