    Just trying to think of a time he's shown heart... All I've seen is hand picked walk in the park fights and a handicap match.

    Oh yeh, there was that one fight he had against a guy called Prescott... But he went to sleep when he fought him.

        Oh yeh, how could I forget him being knocked down by a couple of his light punching hand picked opponents..

        Good job they couldn't hit isn't it, because he'd have gone to sleep then as well

          He has a lot of courage and is very mentally strong, I believe he not scared to fight nobody. even with a bad chin he would still fight someone who could probably knock him out.

            He has taken alot more risks than other British fighters did at his level.

            At 22, he already has a potential title shot down the line. Cut him slack

              that's not true. i can guarantee the people he's said he'd like to fight, he will not, whether that be his decisions of warren's, either way he won;t. nor will he fight prescott. i think deep down khan knows if he goes in with any of the 10 LW, he's getting beat.

                He still had to get up and show some championship heart. He got dusted by Prescott, but give him credit he wanted to get back up and fight on regardless.

                I dont particularity like him, but ill give the kid credit where its due. He has got heart.

                He showed it against Gomez to imo.

                  i agree,he is very young and is very exciting 2 watch,his career has been action-packed since the start and his poor chin adds 2 that imo.people critisize him way 2 easily

                    He hasn't ,, I'm British and the thing I really hate about this place it is how they take certain boxers (that they can make money off). Build them up by giving them **** opponents to fight, make out that they're the best thing since sliced bread.
                    They get a title shot that they don't deserve because they haven't beat anyone of any substance to earn that title shot. They get beat, job done. One particular boxer that I could mention seemed to keep getting title shots until he managed to win one, Just because he was popular here with the people.

                    There are some good boxers to come out of Britain that have won world titles and don't get the recognition or praise that Khan does here.. It's sickening but that's Britain for ya.

                    Khan is over rated and will never win a world title unless some kind of miracle happens.

                    He fought a decent fighter Prescott, he got murdered. He fought Barrera and they cheated by letting it go to the 5th round with that nasty cut, just so he could get the technical win.. Pathetic

                    I may get some flack for this post but to be frank I don't care.
