amir kahn the fraud

[Steelhammer86]

come on name me a decent fighter he has fought and whats so good about winning the commonwealth title. if there was not the hype fair enough but to hero worship a boxer who will never be world class is crazy, and he`s earning millions too , people are so gullible.
ps a lot of great champions could have won the commonwealth title in there second or third fight it is a micky mouse belt.

Willie Limond is a decent fighter. A Commonwealth title is quite prestigious - the Commonwealth includes a lot of countries such as Australia, Canada and India - to say it is a "Mickey Mouse" title shows your ignorance.

Amir Khan is only 20 - he's accomplished a lot for his age.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Khan is ever going to be an elite fighter, but he calling him a "fraud" is ridiculous. He's a boxer, an undefeated one and a regional champion at that.

How is he a fraud? Because he got knocked down then got up and stopped his opponent? Because he won the Commonwealth title in his 13th fight?

i dont believe it`s ignorance my humble opinion is kahn will never beat a world glass fighter, i agree he has only thiteen fights but ther are a lot of better fighters who have only had thirteen fights who are not getting the hype or earning the money glass jaw is earning however time will tell if i`m right or wrong.

He's had 13 pro fights and won an olympic silver medal. All olympic medallists have a head start in the promotion stakes. Khan is doing better than Audley Harrison. At least Khan is taking it seriously.

Oh I agree with the added pressure in the ring, but it's easier out of the ring for the likes of Khan. Put it this way: Your bank manager would much prefer you to have won an Olympic medal first if you're going to pursue a career as a boxer...

as i said ages ago on these forums GLASS CHIN kahn is a complete fraud it annoys me to see so many people being taken in by all the hype he has a glass jaw and there is nothing anyone can do about it. but he will now be matched even more carefully to keep the money coming in, i look forward to the day he fights a world class fighter and it will be lights out for the glassed jawed fraud.

I don't like Amir's style but I think he's too young to be criticized. Good luck to young talent. We all were young and many are still young.

it depend insane people will be okay with pressure but for normal people it like

So pressure is a good and a bad thing depends on the fighter for some it makes them train and fight harder for other it will break them down.

one good example for fighter who have alot of pressure is Mayweather, Hatton and Calzaghe there unbeaten and have alot of critisme from the public and even if they didnt win in a convincing matter it makes matters worse

With so much hate for Amir Khan, i am starting to like him.

Who else has accomplished more in 13 fights?

Who ever fights a guy who is 29-1 in their 13th fight....nobody.

he won well and showed alot of heart. More heart than say a Tyson who couldn`t beat a count if his life depended on it.

hes a kid, come back in 10 years and judge him then
