    Nope, I'm not mistaking you. You're not anti-Khan in an idiotic 'chin-checking' way. You're more subtle with it.

    His personality doesn't appeal to me, I don't believe he's world class beyond his hand speed and I think his chin is critically flawed. That is my opinion, that doesn't however mean I "hate" or even dislike him enough to want him to fail. I think he will have a successful career by being well matched. I do however often correct people who say things about him which I believe to be false, which is perhaps why you think this.

    That said, his management team I find very offensive, and the way they go about things, as do many of the people boxers assign to manage their affairs, so perhaps in some regards you could say I am anti team khan

    Like I've mentioned before, if he's not world class like you say so, then there's no chance in hell he can conquer this division with speed alone - especially with that dog awful chin! If he brushes aside Maidana and then goes on to beat the number one LWW (most likely Bradley), will you still neglect this achievement due to careful match-making?

    So despite what you may try and claim, your dislike of Khan as person, your contempt for his team, your devaluing of his skills and your impending criticism of whatever he goes on to achieve......ultimately does make you anti-Khan.

    That is ridiculous posting. You first make a claim or suggestion for me saying something which I have never said, and then on the basis of that claim state it must mean I'm anti Khan.

    I said, he COULD have a successful career with careful matchmaking. I have no clue where you from that determined that I would consider him fighting Maidana followed by Bradley as careful matching.

    Perhaps some reading lessons?

    Not ridiculous posting at all. You said:

    Well we know what the immediate plans are for Khan. He is to put his 'critically-flawed' chin on the line against the biggest puncher in the division, and should he win, he will face the Bradley/Alexander winner in the attempt to unify the division. He's almost guaranteed to fight the number one LWW of the world if he gets that Maidana win.

    So I'm posing the question.....Do you consider this as careful match-making?

    Sure. Maybe you should join me.

    I said "successful career", 2 fights doesn't amount to a career. He could in theory lose to Maidana or Bradley, and then go on to have further successes.

    Do I think Khan fighting Maidana followed by Bradley is careful match making? No. "careful matchmaking" is when you chose an opponent for your fighter based on their physical state and style. Khan is fighting Maidana because he has to, not because of Maidana's style, if he then won and fought Bradley, assuming he beat Devon, it would again not be because of style or Bradleys state, it would be because it's the logical step to unify the division.

    I understand that Khan took his lunch money off him. Amir was 3 years younger than him so it's left a mark.

    26 years old... I wish it was so

    Back on topic. It does make you wonder who's telling the truth with regard to relationship between them.. HBO or GBP, considering in the past GBP have promised fighters HBO dates long in advance of either date or opponent naming.

    Well I’m only going on what we know will be certain fights for Khan in the next year or so. If he was being carefully matched, his team wouldn’t go down this route. But you obviously think they have no choice in this....

    So being the fighter that’s below world-class and possessing a dog awful chin, he really shouldn't be able to achieve the above, should he. Hm?
