It's pretty much a given now that most of us hate Khan, but what's your reason? Mine is because he acts entitled to a fight with Mayweather and Pacquiao, especially since he has been KOd and can be KOd by a feather. What's yours?

I'll never understand why Khan is viewed as elite. His hand speed is great with nice combos. He has Hollywood looks. That's it right?
His chin is weak. It's made of glass. You need an iron chin to be an elite fighter.Comment

Khan was the only boxer who qualified to represent Great Britain, in any division, when he was only 17 years old at the Olympics 2004. He went there solo, no other boxers, and won a Silver. When he came back he got a hero's welcome and was thrown into stardom at 17, recognized everywhere he went, hounded by media non-stop. The guy was only 17 at the time and when he stepped off the jet he was hounded for autographs:
You might hate Khan, but he was thrown into stardom for that achievement when he was very young so perhaps that might go some way into explaining his mentality today. But, you should also remember that the majority of successful fighters out there think that they are great, rate themselves highly because you have to have a winner's mentality to give yourself the best chance of winning.Comment
