    Khan is not a complete fighter. He doesn't shut the **** up and should spend the time he does talking **** on his defense which is horrific.

    :rofl

    Yeah?? Hatton's shot selection, for one, looks like an abstract rorschach compared to piston punch basic in and out straight up and down Amir Khan. Where is all this skill??? Khan possesses virtually no craft whatsoever. Khan has quick feet and quick hands. Hatton is a good name to mention. Amir Khan has less "skill" than Hatton FCS. Khan is fast and strong - very fast, and well focused, but skillfull? NEVER. Don't get it ****ing twisted..

    :lol:

    Still rolling on this one.. Just getting mental pictures of Khan launching his attack from halfway across the ring, swinging his arms, telegraphing, cocking, and then finally unloading in a flurry of special-needs-bus ****** fury still catching his hopelessly outmatched perfectly selected opponents because he's that fast and quick with his garbage delivery. It's like watching a miniature version of Wladimir Klitschko with a vastly intensified workrate and sense of urgency with a few imposed upon wrinkles. For all Khan's time at Wild Card he still fights like a ****ing amateur gone pro.

    I think Khan is a little upset with Sky ditching him. For some reason he hasn't got the support they thought he was going to get, when you consider how well he is known and how long us Brits have been exposed to him.

    I just don't know how big a draw he actually is....plus if you compare him to Hatton Khan often does say really silly things bordering on arrogance so people are not drawn to him, whereas Ricky was just very down to earth.

    BTW Carl Froch resume >>>>> Khans and I don't like Frochs awkward style that much but even he hasn't been able to capture British fans/support either.

    carl froch is the best uk fighter, amir still hasn't proved himself for me if he wins tonight he might get some more respect from uk he is very big headed though he needs to be a bit more humble.

    **** HUMBLE !!! Why the **** should he be humble!!!

    He's a Champion with great ambition & he may not be the best but so ****in what. I can't stand all this jealous & resentment shite that infests the UK from generation to generation where it's cool to be a loser & the only country that rewards losers with knighthoods & awards.:-(

    The reason behind all this is that the ruling elete don't want too let you ****in serfs get any smart idea's about getting above yer serville station in having someone from the lower orders succeding. No wonder people with ambition **** off over too the states & away from all you Frank Bruno worshipers.:yep

    Humble = Socially engineered Inferiority complex:deal

    There are still skeptics in the UK because the first PPV Khan was on, he got knocked out in under a minute. Casual fans who pay money to see someone box rarely forget that.

    I have come to like Khan, but the sly little digs at UK fans will not serve him well. After all, if he gets knocked out tonight against Judah, American fans will just as easily throw him to the curb and look for the next star. Never turn on your home fans, they will be all you have if/when you fall back down to earth.

    People in the UK hate arrogant ****s. The hating winners myth is propagated by arrogant ****s who cry when people think of them as arrogant ****s. The UK loves its winners, but humility in victory and defeat are just as important.

    Alles klar?

    What he's saying actually makes a lot of sense, I can see why he has some disdain for a lot of British fans that are overly critical towards everything he does. Lewis felt exactly the same way during his heyday I bet.

    I'm not crazy about Khan actually. Now Froch is a different story.

    Froch and Haye are 10x more arrogant than Khan is. Yet the hate they have recieved over the years comes no where close to Khan's. In fact, Froch and Haye are usually praised for their confidence.
