You want to know why boxing is dying? The fans are killing it.

You have Kessler in your avi.

Who was Mikkels 22nd opponent? Umm, Rodrigues Moungo 12-5.

Khan is doing pretty damn well.

thanks to his promotors... come down off your high horse you know he didnt deserve that shot he wasnt in the division 5 mins for ffs!

Khan just needs to be more impressive with time.

His one round KO loss is his Achilles heel, which he must prove was only a fluke due to inexperience.

He'll gain more fans once he steps up the competition and wins impressively
and with some big knockouts.

He's got a good trainer in Freddie Roach.

It's on him to wow the fans the world over.

Amir Khan wins a world title last night. He is a WORLD CHAMPION but according to the boxing community he is a "bum", a "fraud" and "sucks".


Why would anybody take this sport seriously when its own fans make great boxers out to be complete bums?

You may think Khan is a weak champion...you may think he wont be champion for long...but the fact of the matter is he has beaten a few good fighters now and a great, genuine world champion in Kotelnik to win the belt.


It just puzzles me why the boxing community now has Floyd Mayweather's "If you aint undefeated you aint ****" mentality. Stop degrading the sport.

Very true I despise some of the posters on this site they bring shame to our sport, and lets not forget this is the toughest sport in the world. However a lot of people on here call them *******, glass jawed, garbage, useless, fraud etc. the fact of the matter is these guys have obviously never stepped in the ring because if they did they would respect ALL fighters. I tip my hat to ANYONE who is prepared to give this sport a go, because it is godddamn tough.

So what? You make yor own choices in life. Kessler signed with a man more protective than Frank Warren and he paid the price.

I'm a fan of boxing, period. People should give Khan props for moving up and winning convincingly. Surely any true fan of boxing would find an upcoming fighter like Khan great for the sport. And his chin means his fights will a;ways be exciting!

I don't understand this mentality of only supporting winners. It's just fanboy nonsense.

It's the internet. As we speak right now someone is on MarthaStewartLiving.com hating on planting herb gardens in mid spring, someone is on addidas.com hating on Pumas, someone is on veganismnow.com hating on morningstars vegan burger patties claiming they process an ingredient on the same machines they process milk products.

It's the internet. If people hating on the internet killed things, the entire world would cease to exist.

You get what you negotiate. He may not have deserved his shot, but boxing is a business, first and foremost. Khan's name and Olympic success means big money. Kotelnik probably made a career high payday too. At the end of the day, Khan is a world champion now, and beat a very good champion to achieve it.
