Honestly I didnt like this dude at first..I thought he was all hype but when everybody called him out to fight Maidana and said he was scared, HE DID. Not only did he fight him, he did it in an impressive manner. That alone made me a fan. Then, the guy does EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO FIGHT Tim Bradley who everybody was callin the Top dog at 140. He fought McCloskey who is a very dangerous/akward opponent then what does he do? He fights a slick African American in Zab Judah...yes, Zab is not the same Zab but Zab just beat a tough Mabuza and was coming off a title win. But of course, everyone said Zab was washed up. So what is he doing now? Fighting a YOUNG PRIME SLICK African American. Everybody is putting Lamont Peterson off but if you peep the guy, he is actually good as hell. He has some of the best body punching in the game and has even sparred with Mayweather. Instead of always being critics, how about boxing fans SUPPORT THE FIGHTERS WHO DOES WHATS GOOD FOR FANS, NOT JUST GOOD FOR BUSINESS.
they hate on him because he is a threat to mayweather
yeap, close thread with that reply.
People say Floyd has no fans but it isn't true, he does the biggest numbers and has one of the biggest followings on boxingscene and when a fighter is a threat to him the Flomos close ranks on that fighter.
You look at Judah's record and its almost like the guy gets on HBO or a decent show in Vegas and things begin to look good for him and he just 5hits his pants.
LOL....:blow:

Tim has fought top opponents for a while. People choose to ignore his contractual problems thatit is a reality. If Khan dominates Peterson a lot of ppl opinion will change favorably for Khan.
Judah was a good win but Zab hasn't done anything notable in a while and only fights in spots
i had maidana by a point. i just re-watched the fight lately (within the last week) and it wasn't as an impressive performance by khan as i remembered it being live. i would say a rematch is warranted and that the fight was even slightly controversial because of cortez' style of reffing.
When you get your butt thrashed around the ring like a hooker that didn't bring back enough dough for the last 4 rounds, you didn't clearly beat anybody. I don't care about the scorecards, Maidana left that ring as the man, Khan left as a wounded boy holding onto his belt for dear life.
Come on bro,Khan drop Maidana then soundly won most of the rds..It was a clear victory for Khan..Mind you I bet on. Maidana to win,but he did not win more then 4 rds in my book..The fight was not close and a rematch is not needed tbh..
He should rematch the two dudes that whooped him, Prescott and Maidana. Fighting McCloskey instead of Prescott and Peterson instead of a Maidana rematch is weak as hell.
Maidana was clearly beat,and Prescott has done nothing since beating Khan..No need to rematch either of umm..Peterson is a new look and brings a different skill set we have not seen Khan deal with yet,its the best fight that can be. Made other then Bradley..
In response to the thread,who is hating on Khan other then haters(and that won't change no matter what Khan does)if anything most overrate Khan tbh..He is doing his thing right now,I would call him a B+ fighter who has what it takes to be A+..
