    Anyway I can definitely say that a lot of ppl I know don't like him because of his race - even mates of mine who don't really know much a bout boxing don't like him because he's a **** which probably stems from jealousy and racism, pretty sad really.
    Man you've got some cool friends

      I'm not his biggest fan because he believes his own hype without having produced much to back it up in the ring. He's all 'I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that', well do it then but stfu about it until you've done it.

      In fairness to him he's started to back some of it up in the ring now but still has some way to go.

      Playing the whole 'nobody likes me here they're all jealous, everyone loves me over there card' isn't cool either, especially when you're moving for work and tax reasons.

        I didn't like him, up until prescott (which was inevitable) he has bounced back really well.

        He's a good little fighter and seems to have his head screwed on.

          Yer, i don't get that one either?

          He got a big deal with Frank Warren because at the time he was an Olympic Silver medalist and showed huge potential(Yes he did!). He got an endorsement deal with Reebok, which helps his pocket but not his boxing career.

          He earned everything he got. From the start.

              I'm probably quite a mild Khan detractor in comparison to a lot of people though.

              Yeah am still waiting for his explanation of how Khan got handed everything on a silver plate, Like Khan said nobody sees him waking up to go jugging at 5am or having to give up his life just to be dedicated to the sport.

              all they see is the money,nice house,nice car etc they dont realise that nobody gives you anything without you working hard to get it, So maybe S.G can enlighten us but am not holding my breath though.

                I don't dislike him, i just don't rate him.

                I used to get pissed off by the fact Warren cherry picked missmatches while avoiding geniune challengers like Murray, but since he fought Kotelnik i'm off his back for 2-3 fights unless the same BS is repeated.

                Tons of skill, not particularly bright and a glass chin. the ONLY smart thing he's done so far career wise is hook up with Roach.

                    Because Cassius Clay has a better resume than Ali.

                    It's the mans name, whats the problem?
