    All of the responses are given in my thread posted above.
    I'd prefer a person who isn't very likeable but is a good man at heart, than someone who's likeable but is a bad person.
    The other time he was speeding, it was on a motorway fast line where there turned out to be no evidence he was going over 100mph. If I had a nice car, I'd want to enjoy it too.
    He was also speeding at 76mph in a 50mph lane, a fan was following him.

    You again...Khan deserves to talk himself up, he's going to be the one at the end of punches, not you.

    The death of that guy Mr Hatton was from gastrointestinal bleeding, two years after and unrelated to the accident. Yet people are making out Khan is a killer.

    I could say the same thing to you, anytime there's a Khan post you swoop in to valiantly defend him. I didn't think there would be any Khan White-Knights on this forum but I was wrong.

    Khan "I have one of the best chins in world boxing"

    Nothing of what I said in my post is incorrect, the guy is delusional and deserves the stick he gets because of the way he conducts himself.

    That's because I've just recently made a thread on him, and yes, you have been hating for a long time at every opportunity - there's a difference. I'm being positive and you're whining.

    Also, the 'chin' is a difficult topic to discuss because a lot of people think someone either has a good chin or bad chin and that's it - and there is certainly a component of truth in that, but it's not the full picture, just like they mistakenly think boxers with low KO records are inherently feather fisted.
    Anyone who lands the shots that KO'd Khan are knocking out anyone.

    He is delusional, but it's certainly not enough of a reason to have an aggressive and persistent, DELUSIONAL hate for the man. He deserves the right to think that, it's better him thinking like a winner than thinking like a loser when he knows he's going to be taking more big punches - otherwise is he going to fight scared, be scared of all of his opponents and cease his style completely and be awful with another style?

    He's an 'almost' guy who is almost a great fighter yet not quite there.

    He has a dumb, ADHD brain, probably has a laughable education riddled with learning disabilities and being in the dumbass class groups back in school..his learning disabilities + ADHD which he quite clearly hasn't got under control (which ADHD people barely ever do) is going to make life more difficult as he tries to take a more cerebral approach to boxing to fix his errors. He still tried as much as he could.

    khan just wants big fights when hes not in the position to do so. and people dont want to see him in these big fights. khan lost early in his career but still was not ruined. has alot of praise and hype still. but the lamont peterson fight ruined his motivation and momentum. khan was mistreated that fight it was peterson hometown peterson failed drug tests. and i dont really remember but the ref played a roll in that fight i forgot what he did though.

    then all down hill after danny beat him up , now hes all about biggest fight right now and it got him hurt vs canelo

    He can talk himself up all he wants but it's not going to endear him to the fans. The fact is he is no longer the star he was, certainly in the UK. But yeah, when he fights they are usually fun. 1 fight per year with 11.5 months of talking can put you off him tho...

    He's been past his prime for a few years now, he's not really bothered about boxing anymore. If I were a boxer, if it were the only way I could have more faith in myself, I'd have to put myself first and fans second tbh.

    Great handspeed. Has enough power to get respect. Great body puncher. He fades in the later rounds as seen before. He's far from perfect, but man, he talks like he's the greatest ever. I'm not sure if he's being delusional or trying to promote something. He may be a good guy on the street and I commend him for that, but if you're going to talk the talk, walk the walk, as the old saying goes.
    All in all, he is a very good boxer with flaws.

    Khan... Lets see.. I think he just talks about himself in delusional ways.. hes nowhere near the level he thinks hes at..But he is a decent fighter who has speed but gets reckless at times and lacks good defense so it doesnt really serve him well in his most important fights..Hes had some davastating losses and horrible KO's.. I think thats what it is cause he has a lot of fans still.. Does not have a good chin contrary to what he says or may think.. its actually horrible from what Ive seen.. Other than that... i just think is the crap he talks about and how ugly his knockouts are considenring how hes always talking about himself as he is an elite fighter... Me I just dont like him as a fighter and think he is just average..

    Khan will retire with a better legacy than Kell Brook

    hahaha

    Yes Khan is a delusional egotist - But how do you think a 17 year old little pakistani kid from England managed to win silver? by bieng a humble inward hermit? no.

    Just recently he was in a road rage confrontation with some fellows who attacked him. He said they were lucky he didn't fight back because of his professional boxing status.

    ------------------------------------
    But he says his attackers were the lucky ones as the former light-welterweight world champion reckons he would have seriously damaged them in a fist fight.

    Khan said: “I was raging, I was really angry.

    “I don’t want to throw punches because I can definitely hurt someone quite badly.

    “My hands are weapons. They’re weapons.”

    because of his weak chin that's one reason.. but also because he runs his mouth trying to get himself into big fights with guys like Mayweather and paq but hes never earned a fight with either hes lost pretty much every big fight hes ever had... he gives off the entitled vibe.
