This can be summed up simply. Amir Khan is young and he is learning something new everyday, he is building and he works hard at his craft, he is dedicated and most people in England hate on him because 1. Yes there is definetly some rascist views in there and 2. Nobody likes fighters who get handed everything on a plate. The way Khan is marketed is not Khan's fault, its Frank Warren's and he is definetly over hyped and he has definetly not earnt true respect by beating legitimate competition. Every single Amir Khan fight has been a tailor made opponent to make Khan look better than he actually is. Khan's speed will cause anybody problems but if you are a seasoned pro like Barrera and Marquez then this wont be a factor for too long. My fight prediction is Barrera to stop Khan via a barrage of shots with the final one to the body making Khan stay down. I could be drastically wrong but I think there is life in the old dog still. Khan is expected to win because all of the advantages are in his favour and if he doesn't he will have to start from where he should have been starting from. The reason why a lot of the boxing public are pissed with Khan is because its like British Titles and European titles were not good enough for him and when he did finally step up to fight Prescott he was completely exposed for what he was, a no chin, all offense fighter.
khan + degale - not white = get booed and hated gavin + that pikey - white = get loved Race does play a part . But saying u the best don't help either. As for the fight either early khan stoppage or late barerra ko
I like the kid, because he's an exciten fighter.The only thing that worries me is this: the CHIN and I am not confident of his ability at this level just yet and experience he can only pick up with time.WARREN IS hell bent to ruining this kid's career. Although it's an opportunity the kid is not afraid to take. Give him credit for that. HATTON didn't take these quality of fights at age 22 ? No fear this kid. GO KHAN :yep
