I still dont understand where this resentment from Khan to Froch originated from? Is it simply because Froch said he had a weak chin? In that case, shouldnt Khan be pissed off at Hatton, Calzaghe, Haye and the rest of the Great Britain?Comment

No, was on bbc ages ago when those two had a lovers spat.
He was saying something like khan can never improve his chin as you cant put muscle in it, saying he was only the champ because it was a poor division, then he went on to say khan should retire as he would always get k0d by good boxers.
i aint saying what khan did is right but froch did start all of this but still two wrongs dont make a rightComment

Froch's comments that apparently bothered Khan so much:
"I didn't see the Kotelnik fight and from what I've heard I'm not going to be in a hurry to see a replay.
"It was a safety-first approach and he fights that way because he's very suspect around the chin.
"If he gets hit hard, he gets knocked out. That's something that will never change as you can't put muscles around the chin.
"He's adapted his style now and has done it well. He throws fast punches at range, keeps out of the way and tucks up into his shell if anything comes back at him. Fair play to him, he's the WBA champion, but it's a poor division. Beating Kotelnik was no great feat and it doesn't make me want to go and watch him."
Froch added: "If he can keep his chin out of the way, Khan might reign for a few years.
"But why doesn't he go and get the rematch with Prescott? That's the fight everyone wants to see. Warren protects all his fighters and Khan's definitely being protected too much.
"The problem is people aren't going to want to keep watching him fight against boring opposition. They want to see boxers in real fights and he's certainly not going be a Fight of the Year contender after beating Kotelnik. But Warren does what he does business-wise, he tries to maximise everything.
"He's going to do a job with Khan but it's going to be a very, very safe job because of the question marks around his chin. People don't get excited about the kind of fights like Khan-Kotelnik, they really don't. The safety-first option is boring — but that's just my opinion."
Considering the fact that Khan has given interviews saying that Hatton should retire, I don't see why he is so concerned by Froch's comments.
Apparently it's ok for Khan to talk about other boxers and say that their futures don't look bright, but it's wrong for other boxers to say the same about Khan.Comment
