    There is no doubting that Nathan is a good boxer and no doubt he will go onto to achieve great things within the sport.

    I wonder though why he isn't all that popular. From what i've read on here to the opinion of my friends and I he seems quite disliked for a World Champion.

    It is this article that has made me post this,

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/14193375.stm

    Whats your thoughts on the guy? Do you like him? Do you cheer him on when he is fighting?

    See I can't stomach the guy and for some reason can't put my finger on what it is that makes me feel like that. He may grow on me though, Amir Khan has.

    Yeah, met him a few years back.

    He was sound.

    He reminds me a bit of Calzaghe, so no, not the best start for me. I'll have to see more of him to decide whether I dislike him or not.

    In all fairness from interviews and that he seems ok but he seemed a bit of a bellend in the bellew conference.

    I sort of agree. There's something about him that i don't particularly like, but then again i am a terrible judge of character.

    Khan on the other hand is just a dick.

    100% agree! Was so disrespectful toward Tony and Braehmer. Don't quote but i'm sure he said to Bellew I don't even know this bums name!

    I've grown to like Khan, I firmly believe it is the people around him that are the bellends in his camp. Especially his uncle!

    i can't stand Khan him and his entourage are pricks its only a matter of time before he is found out again... the only reason he won the maidana fight was because maidana had a point deducted!

    I think he is pretty sound and quite likeable.

    seemed humble and down to earth when he went back to his hometown on ringside.

    I'd like him more if he didn't look like a lanky Peter Manfredo Jr.
