Khan: "Malignaggi is Not on My Level, I'll Beat Maidana"

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I think its the Audley Harrison syndrome.

When you get a guy who has been successful as Harrison and Khan was in the amatuer's and they turn pro and get the limelight and the "greatness" bestowed on them prior to actually achieving anything then people will hate.

Plus i think he is a fighter like Harrison who whilst supremley confident also comes across as arrogant at time. And this is a double edged sword, people will either like him or hate him.

 

Of course that's a no brainer.

 

Please tell me in detail - the reasons for this ? :think

I'm geniunely interested to know your specific reasons why Khan is hated more ?

 

Its hard to pin it down to one thing, people might hate him for many reasons.

Khan got fame and money at a real young age, some people might have problem with that.

Khan signed with Warren who protects his fighters some people might have a problem with that.

Khan has a glass jaw so some people might have a problem with that.

Khan is a young British Muslim some people might have a problem with that.

Khan trash talks sometimes some people might have a problem with that.

Take your pick

 

I agree - that there is always a number of factors concerning a issue like this.

However all the points you make about Khan are not unique to him.

I feel that the reason is on some level - jealousy of his fame and material wealth and money and special treatment, etc

But as I say he is not unique - there have been other "Golden Boys" in boxing before him who have had all this - and been hated on.

I think it comes down to people instincts they dont like the kid - there is something about his character that is unlikable.

 

My personal view is people when they read his statements like today take in his words like he means them down to the word, yet he could be hyping the fight, playing mind games ect.

In most of Khan's interviews he seems a real down to earth, normal guy.

 

His Dad seems like a nice normal down to earth guy.

But Khan not so much what he says in words I feel but his body lanugage and "energy" comes across as a egotistcal naccsist -

In the same kind of way people sense that Lewis Hamilton is a bit of a snotty nosed stuck up ****

 

Or he won't fight his way to the top. He's been trying to pick the easiest route to big money since he started. Why not hate that?

 

Khan wants a fight in US that will get him popularity with average fans. Outside the boxing circle no one knows Maidana. Besides, Maidana can be outboxed as Kotelnik has shown. Salita was mandatory and Khan beat just beat him. Besides, mandatorys are joke, they are only randomly enforced by sanctioning bodies whenever they please. No one knows how or why certain fighters get to mandatory position and sometimes why they dont. So lets not pretend like Khan is the first fighter not respecting the sanctioning body when the body in question doesnt have any integrity.
.
Marquez fears losing to Khan, if he loses he will be demoted to stepping stone status. The next logical fight for Khan is Malinaggi, he doesnt have power but he is certainly one of the best in division.
No doubt, Khan will fight Maidana but I expect that towards end of the year. Promoters are letting Khan - Maidana demand grow outside the die hard boxing fans.

 

Jesus wept.

 

Name one fighter in recent times who has deliberately and by choice set out to take the hardest, most difficult route possible to a world title

 

with the amount of money khan is earning he'll be dumb to take the hard fights this early. the thing with khan is he has a lot of time to fight his way to the top. theres no rush. impatience is what will get him knocked out again.

 

You have no argument. Just plain pathetic jealous hate...or maybe an asian lad from Bolton ****ed your mum.

 

Look guys, its all simple, Many in this country usually love a good looser, it often happens. Khan is a winner.. so far, so he is hated by a fair few. Look at tennis, Andy Murray, i know **** loads of people who hate him, from what I've seen he has less fans than Henman did when he is a FAR FAR better player than Henman ever was. The Scottish factor is also something to note. Someone mentions above about Hamilton being hated for seeming like a ****. Really? I say fair play to the lad, World Champion at his age, something which took Jenson Button a good number of years.. yet he appears more loved than Hamilton. Same in Football, the amount of hate Ronaldo got, yet he was clearly the best player on this island, and probably the world. All boils down to a silly mentality we often have in this country.
