    Do you even know how contradictory your statements are?

    Resentment is not something that people can inspire in you, resentment is self generated from many emotional conditions and imbalances, resentment requires Ego.

    Everybody person is unique even twins are unique, no two people can be the same just as no two snow flakes are identical.

    In ever TV show they have a character that everybody loves to hate, boxing is no different, this is a physiological technique built into people, when humans lived in smaller groups we would fear and hate outsiders, outsiders represent change, even within our own groups as we wished to be leaders, there is a reason why politics is cut throat, it's tribal nature.

    There is a reason why the Pac Man is loved in the Philippines and not in Mexico, the Philippines peoples share victory vicariously through him, then they can congratulate themselves and say he is the best ergo we are the best, it's the same with all sports and fan bases.

    Subconsciously when people know a person can fail they will come right out and hate that person publicly, to show others they are not associated with them, so it is simpler just to hate that person and avoid persecution, your own self image remains intact, to hate another person you have never met and will never know makes as much sense as hating yourself for something you never did.

    For redemption he needs to beat Murray, Thaxton and then Prescott. He'd be C'Wealth, British, Euro and then technically undefeated again. He won't do it though.

    Your right, he wont, but that would earn him some respect.

    You can't be undefeteated, not even technically if you lost like Khan did, never mind just losing normally.

    To me, losing your 0 and avenging the defeat(s) is better than being undefeated.

    Proves you have plenty of arsehole.

    That is ****ing brilliant, you should be a promoter fella !

    I don't think that KO is reversible sadly, it was about as 'technical' a loss as you can get lol

    Khans not worth discussing.

    I say he should earn our attention. By beating someone half decent.

    Until then he should either accept he is mid Euro level, or sod off.

    WOW that is a mind blowing deep response

    I aint gonna argue with you mate................you too smart for me ;)

    All I will say is this

    I dont have to know Khan deeply as a person to dislike him

    I have seen him through various media forms.............TV, etc

    And while never met him in person

    I create a impression on him

    The impression I got was i dont like the egotiscal young man

    I dont have to conduct a survey on him to decide whether I like him or not

    its just a instinct...........you either like someone or dislike someone...........or are not fussed either way

    Which is funny, because my own natural instinct is to like Khan.
    Even though I can see some of the overblown statements and cockiness others do...it just doesn't upset me so much.

    A focus on the domestic front would definitely be worthwhile I feel.
    If he's lost the hearts & minds of the British public, then he needs to win them back. Of course some people would pipe up, laughing about him not taking on world class opponent now, but never mind that he needs to rebuild...aim for the British title, and if you get that then the European.

    Basically, what he should've been frigging doing in the first place.

    ^^^About as fair a post about Khan as you'll ever see :)

    The turn out to watch him beat ***an was pretty big, and there was a massive cheer when he won...I think the hate may just be from a few mugs on ESB.
