Why Do Boxing Fans make a big deal out of Amir Khan

[SdBoxingFan83]

when are khan and prescott having there rematch, khan said he wont feel right until he beats him!

Thats ****** on Khan but w.e , Prescott gonna be training harder if you ask me and gonna try to get more power so he can finish him off again in the first round he gonna be aiming for that chin

[Pullcounter]

the ones who make the biggest deal out of khan are the people who criticize him.

khan is a magnet for criticism. that's all they like to do to him is make cracks about his hype or chin or his religion or race, etc...

The reason i Wrote this is because I have never believed that british fighters are as good as any other type of fighters and when it comes to stepping up the opposition they get owned and embarrased in front of their public, just look at the ricky hatton pacman fight ,and I always said Ricky Hatton wasn't as good as he seemed.

So, this happens more to British fighters than it does Americans for instance? I don't see it.

Give some more examples of British fighters this has happened to. I mean, considering it happens to sooooo many more British fighters, you should be able to give many examples.

Someone could post the same crap about American fighters and use Jeff Lacy or Michael Grant as an example.

Your very right, But thats not the point right now , Im talking about Khan not American Fighters and it's not America vs British

No hype from british fans, We know where he would end up if warren lets him out of his pouch.

So true, Im not on these boards much but Ive never ever seen a thread titled "AMIR KHAN IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD".

There are waaaaay more threads criticizing him than praising him

[Dubious-Dutch]

Yes Hellyeah His Chin is Weak and can't take a punch with a good natural heavy handed puncher.How do you expect him to be in big fights and beat up on guys like that have punching power, He couldn't finish a Old Barrera that could of gotten Koed since Round 2 if you ask me , somebody with a cut over their eye that can't see anything , you should be smarter and utilize that speed to finish him off! ohh i forgot Khan has feather fisted

Amigo, you sound like a bitter Mexican MAB fan and this is coming from a fellow Mexicano.

[SdBoxingFan83]

Yeah sure I am if you say so .....

I really don't get it, I really love the sport of boxing and all that has accomplished within all of these great years and the great wars we have seen as well of the great fighters of each decade, But although im going to get flamed by this

I just don't get the big deal with Amir Khan besides looking awful a lot like (Eric Morales), Why is he so Overhyped? He is fast and has good speed, but other than that I don't see this kid being a serious reigning champion!

So he did beat Barrera but common a over the hill Barrera and im pretty sure the fight would of been a no contest since the first round, Again Does he have any Ko punching power besides beating bums? Is he another Julio Jr that just beats up on bums and then the great press makes it seem like hes the future of boxing for the British fans? The reason i Wrote this is because I have never believed that british fighters are as good as any other type of fighters and when it comes to stepping up the opposition they get owned and embarrased in front of their public, just look at the ricky hatton pacman fight ,and I always said Ricky Hatton wasn't as good as he seemed.

Sorry British People and Boxing fans but Khan is going down the same road Hatton is once he steps up the opposition, and No I am not a Barrera fan or Im just talking because im racist, This had nothing to do with anything like that, it's just my opinion. I don't think this kid is as good as he seems and the press should be real about the situation. IMO they should give more credit to Jorge Linares or James Kirkland

This cat aint ****!, He's gettin ktfo and into retirement soon enough!!!

[S.W.F.C]

lol, he's 22 and fighting for a world title, may not be an elite fighter he's fighting, but come on give him some slack. Please don't try and compare him to Chavez Jr either lol, Khan has 21 fights while Chavez has 40 fights under his belt and still fighting bums lmao.

Maybe there is a lot of hype but you cant blame Khan for it, people hate on him and say he's big headed for saying he will win a world title and so on, its not big headed its the confidence he has in himself.

I wasn't that big of a fan when he first turned pro but he has grown on me and now im a big fan, Roach see's something in him and if he can tighten up that defence Khan can be a good champion, i even see him stepping up to 147 in a couple of years.
