    So what can Amir Khan do to stop the hate?

    In my opinion Khan has taken a hell of a lot of flack for a young fighter, so what can he do to stop the hate?

    Sure there are times when he has seemed over confident, but surely in boxing you gotta believe in your ability against any opponent?

    So what do you think guys?

    I'm not going to say it, but there are obvious reasons why he has taken alot of undeserved flack. Not saying it's the only reason, but it is a big enough one for some idiots.

    Like when he lost, the things some people were shouting were an absolute disgrace, especially to boxing.

        Whether anyone wants to admit it or not but ALOT of the hate comes from the fact that he is a ****** and a Pakistani.

          U mean its a racist thing?


          I dont get the hate, he is confident but not ****y, he has a big heart is good to watch and can really fight! Seems dead genuine and down to earth too.

          His chin is wank but is that really a reason to hate on a guy???

            As the guy mentioned earlier, yes,i do believe there are underlying racial issues.

            i did not want to believe it at first, but seeing countless of people on the internet coming with shocking comments was one thing, but hearing people say it real life was just way way out of line. Especially when they start insulting his family (for which i have no clue why).

              It's a shame, but I agree with Minion and yourself. Unfortunately this is always gonna be a factor. I am not saying that people that are hating on him in the UK are hating on him for this reason alone BUT there is definately a group of SO CALLED fans where his ethnicity or religion will be a factor!

              It's a shame.....

                  One thing i do not understand is, when a boxer is interviewed, he is going to say "Yeah i can do it, i beat him him, i can become champion" etc. I mean that is normal, in fact expected lol.

                  But when Khan says it, people say he is "****y" or "Arrogant". I mean WTF?
