Why is Khan so Hated/Disliked by Brits?

He said when he first turned pro that he would be retired at 25?

He has jumped ahead in the pecking order ahead of more deserving boxers (john murray*) and will be lined up for a title shot if he beats barerra

*i hope khan vs murray happens, murray is undefeated and british champ

 

Like it or not being an Olympic medalist lets a boxers jump the pecking order.

 

Khan won his Olympic medal. People talk like it was handed to him.

Out of all the recent British medal winners I have seen, Khan has been the most impressive, imho, even though he only came away with a silver.

It's just a pity that chin is made of china.

 

For his sake he better hope MAB doesn't tap that chin ..As I recall Barrera is still a pretty sharp heavy handed puncher ..Slow but acurate ..

 

he's a youmg boy with lack of higher education, so how can i hate him????
No way!
It's his marketting and promoter who is to blame,.get me?



big up my 2 my afro bro jeff thomas one ****in love!!!!!!

 

Underlying a lot of Khan hate is from the fact that he is a Muslim and of Pakistani heritage. Then they hide behind the excuse, hes too cocky and arrogant. Khan was booed at the weigh in, they shouted abuse at him and his family. I mean come on!

Khan is confident, but certainly not cocky. He has a fighters heart and gives it his best in the ring.

As for those that say he got undeserved opportunities well there is at least there is some argument there but still no reason to hate him to this point.

 

good post Redando5

Aye, Carl "itchy crotch" Froch did came across as an idiot and dislike him as much as I do, I would still support him against any foreign opposition. Why?.... because I wish all our Brit fighters well and that includes Fraudley!

 

I have no problem with Khan at all, never have. I'm surprised at the amount of hate towards him on this thread.

I hope he wins tonight and goes on to take out Hatton.

 

I don't mind Khan, sure he's naive and opens his gob without engaging his brain but he's not a bad lad, sure he's a **** driver but the same could be said for most people in this country who use 4 wheels.:tong

The people around him I'm not so keen on though(apart from Freddie of course), he also draws an unsavoury element to his fights(of both types - pro-Khan yobs and anti-Khan yobs).

 

I don't hate Amir Khan I like watching his fights, but bloody hell I need to see some power.

 

I dont like him due to lots of things.

I think in general, its boxing fans that dont like him.

Aside from the fact he is chinny, protected, hyped, thick as a plank, delusional, plays the race card, and has had an awful lot on a silver spoon, its the media coverage he gets that really gets me pissed off.

I mean whenever he fights even a no hoper bum there are countless features and articles on him when fighters who actually deserve the coverage get nothing. It pisses me off that he is also much better known in the UK then much more accomplished and proven fighters.

I am always rooting for him to lose when I think about it. Just to stick it to those part time boxing journalists on his bandwagon, and to those ****ing know nothing casual fans.

 

top man amir, thats the problem wif us brits we seem 2 hate winners....remember everyone wanted 2 c steve davies fail because he was so good & 4 some reason we all loved eddie the ****ing eagle !!!! lots of jealous people out there !!!!!......

 

So by comparing 2 figures from the sports of snooker and ski jumping you claim to have tapped into the national psyche?
