Amir Khan - Delusional... or a great publicist

Khan is delusional but he has also done well. IMO the Peterson fight was dodgy on 3 levels, the ref, scoring and the PED's. Peterson has not been the same without them IMO. I felt Khan still won by 1 round but nevermind. His chin is **** so he is delusional when he says he has one of the best chins... At the end of the day, we are all here talking about him so he must be relevant...

??? What has him being a Muslim got to do with anything, and which country is he representing - England or Pakistan? Terribly WRONG. let me give u some history. He was the ONLY Great Britain Olympian to enter the Athens 2005 Olympics at age 17. He won a silver medal. He's a Muslim that represents his home country of Pakistan and England. This achievement alone was huge. He had significant backing with top promoter Frank Warren where his fights were shown or terrestrial TV to MILLIONS (No exaggeration). His performances talk too, he is incredibly exciting and always showed that on TV. He isn't just a boxer, he's a celebrity due to this. From an achievement perspective, well obviously first came the brutal KO where everybody thought he'd never do anything in boxing and hide away - that didn't happen. Instead he faced the music and went out to become a world champion at 140. He had made his reputation, then he left for America where he had top backing with GBP. You know who he fought since then. Anyway, what you need to understand is his backing was extremely and still is very strong because of his nationality, religion and so on. I barely touched the surface with this. There is A lot more but w/e. Delusional but it works for him and against him. His high opinion of himself protects him from being hurt by criticism and makes him a game fighter but it blinds him to his shortcomings so he never fixes them. Exactly this ^^^^

He just needs to be knocked out and stretched out. Unless he has changed, this delusional fool is getting tucked into bed by Collazo

I wanna see him get knocked out. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Outside of the Olympics -- Khan has a pretty lame resume :lol1: Kotelnik, Maidana, Judah, Malignaggi are all lame. Peterson had to juice up to beat Khan so what does that tell you?

Believing in your self is delusional and you should always just go with what is available to you and not worry about trying to achieve things beyond your reach. Cuz then people will call you delusional and you just dont wanna be labeled that do you? pfff.

One thing that really bothers me about Khan is he reminds everyone he beat Maidana about every other sentence. So what. That was years ago and Maidana has improved while Khan doesn't seem as good as he was then.That fight was close and Khan was badly hurt and helped out of trouble by the ref who kept stopping the action when there was no reason to. Maidana has always tried to rematch Khan and I would pick him to KO Khan in a rematch.

I don't know why he is so popular but I can't stand the guy. He doesn't believe his own BS or he would not be so careful picking opponents. I think his main popularity comes from the UK. They don't get as many high ranked fighters as they would like and when they get one they really treasure him even if he is not that good. They are very loyal to him through victory and defeat. I think most Americans think Khan is a weak chinned big mouth without a chance in hell of beating Mayweather. If Khan really believed in himself he would have risked the Alexander fight and he would have rematched Prescott long ago.The guy he is fighting is not that good and beating Ortiz is no big deal anymore. He should have fought Brook for big money but I don't think he is confident of beating Brook, who has never lost or been knocked down and is a better fighter than Khan in my opinion.

Met Eddie Hearn's pressman, Anthony Pressman (no jokes, real 2nd name LOLCAKES), just after Khan and Kell had it off (steady now) on ringside. Apparently straight after the cameras got turned off Khan was shaking Kell's hand, being a really cool, nice non-hysterical dude while Kell sat there like the confused lisping spanner he is. Make of that what you will but I've got a feeling it's primarily a persona, that admittedly goes too far much of the time, that he puts on for the cameras.

Has Khan merely just worked out that to get ahead in boxing you have to talk an unadulterated amount of ****e, irrespective of talent or achievement... or does he actually believe what he spouts... His stablemate, Andre Ward, has got a significantly better CV than Khan, but Ward barely ranks a mention... primarily because he is God-fearing and seldom lavishes praise on himself. No, it's because he's perceived as boring and fights in a Euro-division.

its working so id say its good. dont care too much about the mainstream oinion about him, hes a good salesman and heart in the right place whenever in the ring, he just needs his head sometimes as we saw against garcia..

When your are told since young how great you are and going to be and get special treatment you tend to belive it

It's called delusional to us as fans but believing in yourself to him as the boxer. You should never limit yourself otherwise you'll end up becoming a joke like Ortiz. However don't step of out bounds that you know will cause more harm than good.

Who cares really. Khans a good talker and speaks boxing very intelligently. If he believes his own bull**** more power to him. He's the one that has to get in the ring.

I don't want to say anything bad about Khan because I always support him. I think he should have took the fight with Brook and make a career high payday. Then retire.

He is surrounded by people who constantly blow smoke up his arse, telling him he's the greatest thing since sliced cheese, and he starts to believe it. Amir is not very bright.

Bit of both. He knows he's not as good as he says, but he is good at making people believe it. YES IN ENGLAND but not on this side of the world.. PRPP:boxing:

Apparently Mayweather phoned Khan last week, but if you believe Khan, Mayweather only got through to his pal and begged him to put Khan on the phone. Khan relented and Mayweather apparently told him he was a great fighter and referred to him as champ throughout the conversation. It sounds totally un-Mayweather-like, and the story has the feel of the BS fiction Khan fed the press a couple months ago about how he sparred and took Andre Ward's best punches. I don't think race really comes into with people's perception of Amir Khan... I just think Khan lacks the charisma or wit to pull off being arrogant, and that is why so many interpret him being a twat.

Delusional as hell
