Amir Khan? I haven't done any research on him. All i know is that he's a hyped up fighter. I heard that the Barerra fight should have been stopped. But it went on just to get Amir Khan a win.

Most boxing fans do not hype Khan, not ones that are knowledgeable anyway. They simply know the truth that he is talented but far from the complete article, a work in progress. He has been overhyped by the mainstream media but not the fans by and large.
I do wonder why so many people feel the need to ask these questions while putting up another thread about Khan. If you don't like Khan then why do you care? If you do then you should know the truth. Why don't you actually talk to some British fans about Khan and you will realise that he is not that hyped. The fans in Manchester pretty much booed the guy.

are we still going on about this??!!
watched it again for the first time since sat night, eventually got round to stomaching it!!
i recommend people watch it with and without sound - jim watts is a biased T**T. all i'll say is, if it went to point, khan would have won, but if it hadn;t been stopped, would it have gone to points.....
p.s note that khan's legs go 10 secs left in the second and again just before it get stopped.....ummmm

2. The people who ARENT his fans would EASILY pay money to see the "****y young guy" get sparked out again.
3. Even if they're not his fan, a LOT of people know the name Amir Khan because of the massive amounts of media he gets. He even had his own TV show.
4. Like the man said, it's a chance for Khan to either show that he can hang with a big puncher, or a chance for a big puncher to show that the KO wasn't just a "mistake" and that he really just cant take a heavy puncher.
5. If the fight is against a person who KO'd what the media are calling the UKs best fighting prospect, it will get peoples attention because they'll know there will either be another KO, or there will be a good fight.

Originally posted by Marciano 49-0 View PostHe'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.
Stop making up things to support your argument. Even if I didn't have that link, you'd still have no grounds to state that. You can question the ability of Khan, but don't question his heart or his ambition. Khan doesn't deserve that. On the subject of his defensive skills, he seems to be improving under Roach and we'll have to see what happens, but you're right about one thing, he'll have to protect that chin.
Originally posted by Marciano 49-0 View PostEven 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.
Originally posted by Marciano 49-0 View PostSo 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?
