Why is Khan hyped so much?

[Fedayin]

if you don't like khan getting so much attention then you shoudln't make a thread about him. To answer ur question, he gets so much hype from the britisch media because he is a silver medalist. someone must be pretty dumb to not know that

[FLYBOY]

because:

At the age of 17, he won an OLYMPIC SILVER MEDAL AGAINST A 34 YEAR OLD CUBAN.

He has amazing talent... speed and power.

He is very exciting to watch. YES MORE EXCICITNG THAN MAYWEATHER. mayweather-baldomir... i would rather watch paint dry.

The reason why he is hated so much is because he is only 22 years old and he's a multi millionaire, and he's ****** and he's ****y (but so what, show me one world champion who is not ****y). [The Greatest, Muhammad Ali was also ****y...]

Olympic medal and marketability factor

Your reasons for people disliking him are not accurate at all. Personally, I have no problem with ******s, young fighters being rich, or fighters who are ****y (as long as they back up the talk). My problem is, he is a protected Frank Warren fighter who just had a manufactured win because his career was in jeopardy due to being wiped out in 54 seconds. Putting a big name on his resume was a way of getting him back into the spotlight. Another reason I'm pissed off is because of the **** he's spouting to the media about "proving everyone wrong", when really he proved absolutely nothing.

It's not due to race, being jealous of his money (come on, how shallow is that?), or being young. I'm a fan of boxing, and I like to see fairness, not corruption.

By the way, Muhammad Ali was not "the greatest". That tag belongs to Ray Robinson.

Amir Khan has done absolutely nothing that indicates he's a world-class fighter.

He's been KOed in the first minute of round one, by a fighter he's not willing to rematch. He's been down several times in other fights, against relatively light punchers. He doesn't appear to have good defensive skills to compensate for his delicate chin, so when he next faces a prime world-class opponent he'll be KOed again.

Even old Barrera, blind in one eye, rocked him a couple of times in Saturday's fight. Before the cut, Barrera was getting the best of him, despite Khan being so much younger and so much bigger.

So why does the UK media hype him?

There are a number of better, more well-rounded young British boxers such as Kevin Mitchell, John Murray and Nathan Cleverly. So why do we never hear much about them, while the mediocre Amir Khan get so much attention?

because he was a silver medalist

Short answer is because we don't have much else right now, Haye is a disaster waiting to happen, froch will probably lose his 1st or 2nd defence, cook got ktfo, calzaghe has retired, hatton will probably lose to manny, and thats all we have really.

Good post.

The comment about "proving everybody wrong" was inapproriate and turned people off. If he rematches Prescott and defeats him, then perhaps he could say something like that.

We dont hear much about DeGale, the gold medalist.

That seems ****** to me. Put all your stock into a guy who's likely to be demolished by anyone decent? It's ******.
