So what can Amir Khan do to stop the hate?

[Ray*]

He can start by fighting the numeroud British LIGHTWEIGHTS that he has blatently ducked.

Then he can fight the numerous european LIGHTWEIGHTS that haven't even been mentioned but who have better records and are more deserving of a title shot.

But most of all he needs to start fighting LIGHTWEIGHTS.

When you are promoted by Frank warren then he would make you duck dome dangerous domestic fighters, Ask or see how Hatton shamelessly ducked Witter under Warren.

It would be good to see him fight john murray, but as i remember he destroyed Graham Earl, who if i am not mistaken was the highest World ranked British Lightweight?

the guy is 22 he has plenty of time to fight big names!!!

At the time the Earl win looked good but in retrospect it was more an indication of how badly effected Earl was by Katsidis than anything Khan did.

The point is there is a system of progression British > European > World that Khan has ignored while fighting guys from lower weights time and time again.

Khan is ****ing HUGE 5'10" for a LW is insane, you should have to put him in with Feathers and Bantamweights add in PPV for a guy who isn't even at British title level is a ****ing disgrace though I do not blame that on Khan per say.

[fatmash]

He had to work hard for every little thing that he got, I dont care what little minded people say about he got "Given" so so and so.......Got given what exactly????

Harrison was a fraud who took BBC TV licence money and age 29 and didnt achieve anything...Khan was 17 when he represent our country and his still 21 yrs old, If you going to hate on a 21 yrs old who gave his all to represent your country then thats pretty sad and lame.

lol well i dont aimlessly support a sportsman just coz he got a silver medal !!..................... hes been on the fast track the special treatment if you will !! while other egually if not better fighters have to eek out a livin at british title level fightin for peanuts.......... hes a prospect on ppv for ****s sake ............ a prospect that failed under his first big test !!!................ not likeable when you look at it as a hole !!!!

Sorry But Hatton fiought all three genuine threats at British Level

Thraxton, Magee and Smith all are superior to Anyone Khan has ever fought.

Witter was always 3 years behind Hatton at every stage and couldn't sell a bentley to a permiership football player. In his ENTIRE CAREER he's look good ONCE! the single most over rated fighter ever, the guy is a joke.

Khan doesn't have a say in who he fights, and Murray isn't on his level. He just isn't.

Mate you're being ignorant.

Hatton comes into fights alot heavier than the 140 limit. He is a Welter that is fighting at LWW. So what difference does it make if Khan is fighting at LW?

Amir comfortably makes it to LW, whilst Hatton drains and drains and drains to get to LWW.

Besides, if you are going to criticize Khan, criticize calzaghe whilst you're at it. He never went Prime v Prime against a Boxing legend once, and according to a few Brits, he is a Boxing Legend. Hatton did the same until he finally fired Warren.

Why would Khan fight Thaxton? I'm sorry, but Earl beat Thaxton, and Earl was beaten in 70 seconds by Khan.

Witter was always 3 years behind Hatton at every stage and couldn't sell a bentley to a permiership football player

And "Thaxton, Magee and Smith" can?

You're so full of it mate

I defo agree some of the fighters he has been in with are like WTF, but come on, I can't name a fighter who hasn't had questionable names on their resume and remember he has plenty of time. Obviously I agree with the progression system you are referring to, but even guys who do that like carl froch, (british,commonwealth champion) he got hated on for not moving up a level. so where is the happy medium?

If Khan gets beat again because he stepped up in class, at least he can say he gave it a shot?

But i agree with some of your points!

Lets get one thing right before we go any further.

Calzaghe Fought for and won the British title, he fought for and won Numerous WORLD titles. His best Wins are against top 10 fighter AT HIS WEIGHT.

My criticism of Khan is that he's:

1. Fighting lower weight fighters in almost every fight.

2. He has one good win at domestic level and none at contender level.

3. he's being manufactureed a title shot from a fight against a 35 year old from 3 division below him. Seriously that should disgust you, it does me.


Magee, Smith and Thraxton are all capable of filling a 10000 stadium of their own right and indeed all have, Witter would struggle to fill a telephone box.

That co called system is not mandatory. Why fight a British champion. when you can fight for the commonwealth title? anyone with any commonsense would take what is available while its on the table.
