    He gets a lot of media attention in the uk because he won an olympic medal.
    Therefore he is a national icon like any medallist. Some people think it's a crime to be a fan of a fighter because he's from your country.

      Indeed. Lots and lots and lots of "Khan is hyped" threads, yet not a single one saying anything even close to "Khan is the best LW and will win a world title in his next fight", not one.

      Compare and contrast that with the Pavlik - Lockett fight, in what i believe was Pavlik's second title defense. Tons of Pavlik is top 5 P4P type threads and since then I have seen serious posts predicting Pavlik to defeat Hearns and Hagler, let alone Joe Calzaghe.

        You arent seriously saying Joe would beat Hagler or Herns are you? Thats how it sounds that it be easier to beat them than Joe.

          Khan will get KO'd pretty soon, his chin is horrible.
          Well he won an olympic medal when he was like 16 was it???

          I think he deserves to get on talk shows and be our golden boy.

            No, I meant the opposite.

                I hate the word overhyped. It seems to get aimed at Brit fighters instantly.

                Khan is a good exciting prospect who has a fan friendly style and a nice ass.

                  Always does, if he is a British prospect or a world champion then he's ''Overhyped'' I might be wrong, but i don't think i am?

                      You guys may have another one in Frankie Gavin, so you better not
                      celebrate him either. He looked great in the world championships last year.
