    Why are most the same people shifting from abusing/hating Hatton to now abusing/hating Kahn. There personalities are totally different, and so are there boxing styles. I really can't think what they have in common - they are two different sorts.

    People need someone to hate.

    No, lets not put him in Hatton's category just yet. We shouldn't underrate Hatton.

    They are both popular and it (apparently) gives you credibility as a 'hardcore boxing fan' to show a little hate.

    Neither are popular in Iceland so that does not apply to me

    I don't hate Khan though. I thought he was cool as ice til this, but its only one mistake. Everybody makes a mistake, even China Hand Joe

    Don't get me started on Hatton

    What exactly was his mistake? You misquoted him and the original quote didnt really imply he thinks he's as good a fighter naz and tyson ect but that hes happy that he is as well known as them and is fighting on the same stage as they are.

    Aye? I don't see what he has done is so bad. He just has stated that he is flatered to be alongside those names on sky. Boxers always big themselves up anyway - its sort of accepted. For example.... this quote in 2003 :yep

    "Obviously Lewis is bigger than me," "But he's not better than me. I honestly believe I'm the best boxer in Britain."

    Kahn's statements are not in that league yet.

    Amir said this? Before he even fought in the Olympics? Unbelievable.

    I'm honestly (;)) not sure who said it, but for ANY British boxer to say that in 2003 would make him a real muppet.....:good

    Joe Calzaghe could have quite reasonably said this at any point from 2006 onwards.

    Lol... no not Khan.

    I've just checked the records at that time - as I honestly wasn't aware of them. Lewis had defeated Tyson on his last outing, and the other guy was coming off a Tocker Podwill win; seriously. I'm not joking.

    Anyway its not that bad - the point is, is that they all spout junk. I'm Just saying don't be so harsh on Khan, perhaps.

    Interesting that he said this about a fight with prime Roy:


    "I could probably give Jones a tough fight, probably the best fight he's ever had," said Calzaghe. "But I know my capabilities and unless I got paid the crown jewels I wouldn't want to risk it."
