    Being liked and being popular are 2 different things.

    everyone who is saying he's no hatton - i think khan is more popular or at least much much beter known than hnatton was at the same stage in their careers... i.e. after the same amount of fights!

    he won a lot of people over the other night by showing he has a decent chin....

    I'm not saying no one is racist. That poster said that anyone who doesn't like Khan MUST have an underlying racists issue. That's bull****.

    Race could be a factor, but not the major factor. Because early on in his career he was saying how he would rule the world at 21 even though he was nearly getting knocked out by willie liimond and gomez. Thats why people started to hate on him. I think though since the prescott fight he as matured and thats due to freddy roach. Me personally as a fighter I like him as a person don't know him so I will reserve judgement on that.

    It's definitely a factor, just like racism is still a factor in the UK.

    But even if all those small-minded people were Khan fans...I doubt he would have the fanbase Hatton had/has...yet.

    I didn't say that at all. Again, your reading comprehension fails you.

    Where did he say that anyone who doesn't like Khan MUST have an underlying racist issue?

    Quote:

    He asked, DOES, not it MUST. He was purely asking if that has an influence on Khan's popularity, and you objected in saying that it does not at all.

    I think one of the rules of that forum is that criticising khan in any way, even flaws in his style, is a bannable offence?

    Damn, you've broken me Mr V.I.P., I give up, you're right.

    I only like Khan because he's Asian and a Muslim. Just leave me alone :|

    Uhh again you fail. I quoted a different poster when saying that, not the OP.

    No he said at 21 he would be world champion. Then prescott knocked him out. So some people didn't like him the way he carried himself. Only a minority of people don't like him because of skin colour.

    If saying 'It's not that at all' means that you didn't mean that, then I think it's you that fails to understand what you yourself are saying.

    I don't even know why you're arguing your point. Do you even know what you're getting at? :rofl

    You yourself said that your WHITE friends hate him. You yourself called him the 'P' Word.

    Silly **** :lol:
