    he is disliked person - perceived by many as a conceited big head who alot of people would take pleasure in seeing come unstuck - myself included

    he is a good fighter - talented - very quick - very accurate - very prideful - ambitous - wants to succeed badly - but has a dodgy defense and a bit of a glass chin - basically this guy will keep winning cos he is talented - until somebody can really expose them flaws -and when he eventually loses it is going to be in a violent knockout fashion

    I'd say the general public still love him but boxing fans are getting tired of the level of opposition.

    has anyone read his book because in there he dosen't seem big headed, in fact hes portraid as very polite and the rest of it. but on here alot of people think hes big headed? just wondering why.
    anyway i think he will become a world champion hes very talented but he has some big flaws which may be able to be fixed. chin is suspect but to be honest i dont think its too bad.
    oh and NEEDS to get rid of frank warren.

    Personally I quite like him. He doesn't come across as a particularly bad character to me.

    His level of opposition so far is frustrating. His chin is a little suspect - but he has obvious talent. I think he can pick up a world title no doubt. Whether he can go on to be something more is hard to tell until we see him against better quality opponents.

    I think he is beyond delusional.

    Hanging? **** that

    Under my proposed regime for the forum (which I havn't forget about by the way - elections will be announced in due course) I will bring back burning at the stake, HD+Q. All that.

    I think people on here are overly critical of him. He's still learning the game but has looked sensational at times. He does have flaws to work on but is a very good prospect.

    I have been almost disuaded out of liking him because of these boards but I'm not there yet - although it probably won't take much more.

    On the world stage, I think he'd win some, lose some and his real test will come with his first loss. I actually really think Khan would benefit greatly from having someone beat him opposed to fighting 5-6 fights against no hopers.

    How about "Vote for Caring Facism" as a campaign slogan?

    I don't want to get off on the wrong foot, and deceive the public like many other politicians, by pretending I'm caring. I think they'll respect my honesty...

    I'll set out my manifesto, and anybody that doesn't like it, or isn't one of my favoured posters suffers immensely

    The vast majority of people think he's amazing.
    Though that will not be reflected very accurately on these boards as the cross section of society is different.

    He's sensationally talented and if he can shore up his defensive skills, will become a wolrd champ.
