    Khan has potential (and amazing hand speed), I believe that. Once Pac is done, I think he will become Roach's next prodigy.
    It has nothing to do with race to be honest (well certainly in my books)

    Lets take Haye for example,

    UK fans love him, and he's representing more than one country.

    Another example is Calzaghe, who is Welsh - Loved by English people.

        Yeah you're right. I guess Khan just isn't up to par with the Brit fan's expectations. I know he'll get better in the future though if Roach takes good care of him.

            Haye is black...calzaghe is white..... the point is English/British have a problem with Asians and i know this for a fact because i see it everyday......

            Thus why i said if khan was black or white...we wouldnt have the same problem.

              Most of us don't like him because he's an overrated, overhyped, pile of dump.
              so why so much love for Hatton then?

                  People liked Naseem Hamed though, he was Asian.

                    Indeed, Hamed had an ok following though, I was a fan as a kid.

                    He challenges himself by fighting the best there is, unlike certain other boxers..
