    At the end of the day, Khan probably uses the phrase "do you know what I mean" more often than anyone else; it is what it is, do you know what I mean?

    All Asian people use that one, or seem to do, followed by 'Innit' - which really pisses me off.

    Hatton has quite a few, 'you know' - a common Lancastrian phrase, 'me' - as opposed to 'my'

    Junior Witter often says - 'Ricky Hatton is ducking me', Carl Froch says - 'My promoter Mick Hennessy.......' I wonder if Carl says that whilst shagging his wife, or is she ducking him too.........

    I was going to make this thread about calzaghe earlier. good call. He uses that and "simple as that" to the point of nausea.

    "Do you know what I mean" is pure Cockney, innit?

    It's not cockney at all! Khan's from Bolton anyway.

    It is one of the most annoying thing when listening to Khan though, he sounds like a moron from the streets when he says 'Do you know what I mean?" all the time. It's a sign of lack of confidence in what he's saying and drives me slightly mad :)

    The thing here in the eastern states are fighters and civilians who end every sentence with 'know what I'm saying' but it sounds like 'nome sane'.

    Dawson: "I took care of business and now it's time to move forward" (At least 10 times in the post fight interview after his loss to Johnson)
    Mayweather sr. : "I think he's a little ******ed"

    At the end of the day and when all is said and done, I think Joe uses the word "Listen..." at the start of each mumbling sentence he starts.
