    It just sounds like that he truly believes his own hype and every now and again he throws out the odd soundbite to the press to make himself seem like he is humble, a decent bloke and not taking fighters lightly etc.....

    His team doesnt help one bit. Same can be said for McClsokeys team at times post fight(at least they had a reason). Khan just needs to look at the bigger picture.

    Mate you said that I didnt appreciate a defensive and ellusive style and had no respect or admiration for sitting down and watching impressive head movement, ducking and shoulder rolls. I do not think McCloskey showed any of this. These are things those great defensive fighters do. McCloksey just stood out of range.

    It would be nice as we wouldnt be having this debate but I can't see i going differently.

    I think its pointless getting to much into the personality side of things. In the grand scheme of things its only us hardcore than notice he is a twat.

    Khans going into a major fight. He can become undisputed champion and a top 10 P4P fighter in his next fight. I favour Bradley but its a fight Khan is capable of winning.

    I dont think its pointless at all, what people say gives a very good clue as to how they are mentally. Just listening to Khan I can tell he believes his own hype and is probably reluctant to address his flaws. He is lucky he has Freddie Roach there to guide him.

    Who is favourite in the Bradley-Khan fight btw?

    I agree I think he thought it was worse and went along with the doctor and ref, both should have let the round finish before making a decision.

    Absolute madness especially in a world title fight and PPV event, more boxing shenanigans that wont do anything to attract more to boxing only the opposite.
