    I'm just asking because they seem to really be trying to make him huge here in the US, and I am not seeing the fanfare. I'm sure he has a decent following, but no matter what he does or who he beats, I still don't see a huge following.

    Khan is missing the likeability factor to be truly popular outside his home nation. He really has no flair or personality but I can look post that because I'm willing too. I don't expect a lot of others, especially the American fight fans will be willing to do so.

    He's a good fighter not great and I think he will go down as that.

    Fan of his heart and work ethic, not a fan of his skillset or lack of it. Personality doesn't bother me.

    I used to hate him and I'd root hard against him.

    He's won me over since the malignaggi fight. He went through a lot if **** in his career, he had a whole movement of hate against him and people booing him everywhere he went. But he's done well and I think he deserves a break from the hate now. I don't buy any P4P talk but I do actually like watching him now and i defiantly don't hate him anymore. He's a good

    His team are a bunch of assholes an he needs to sort them out.

    I'm from UK
