Amir Khan is headed towards the Floyd "bad guy" persona.

[BigStereotype]

Can't wait till he talks a lot of smack to a puncher and gets KTFO'd. Hahahaha...Paulie might.

[TEDetc]

thing is khan gets a lot of hate due to him supporting pakistan and him not being english, maybe him not even being white.

Or maybe it's because he's an over-hyped baby and his whole career has been covered in cotton wool seeing as he's never took a risk...oh my bad he took one risk before against erm who was it? low scale contender Prescott? Oh yeah and he got knocked out in the first round.

Add onto the fact the british boxing public have been forced to pay £14.99 for every damn fight he has even though it's against british level opposition then he goes off and slags Froch down for losing a 12 round epic war FOTY candidate against a proven champion?

It could be those reasons.....NAH ITS B/C HES PAKISTAN AND NOT WHITE OBVIOUSLY...lul.

[J-A-D-AKISS]

He doesn't pop off as much as Paulie does though.

[Pullcounter]

maybe he just got ticked off at all his critics. IMHO he's lost his cool. he needs to reign it in. he can't do the hamed thing... that was back when *********s weren't blowing **** up. he needs to put on the good boy image so as not to turn off americans.

[DIB42]

OH NO YOU GUYS!!! KHAN CAN'T BE A PROPER HEEL, HE'S TOO CHINNY!!!

in all seriousness though, good observation Burner... I can't tell if he's trying to market himself that way, or if he's just a douche... but i don't think its a good move to try that before you've proved yourself

[Leo Mayweather]

Not to sure if I like him or not at the moment, when he is thinkin he is on the same level as Pacquiao and Mayweather without fighting nothin but b-class fighters, Obviously Pac man would have him stretchered out the ring in 2 rounds and Mayweather would give him a boxing lesson and out-class him in every department.

[F l i c k e r]

It would be different if Khan could back up his mouth.

But so far he is protected, getting a padded record, ended a fight with a headbutt, and got ktfo in 1.

[ma51f]

He popped off on Paulie.

Popped off on Froch.

Popped off on Mitchell.

Im sensing a pattern here. Alot of people already hate Khan as it is he might as well ride with it.

Anyone else think this?

Paulie: he's fighting him, what you want him to say? he loves him and Paulies gonig to win?? of course not, of course he will say he's gonig to ko him

Froch: biggest trash talker, talked about a fighter way smaller them him he started it, khan finshed it

Mitchall: said he was a good fighter but FW wont let him fight him, which sounds about right

KHAN: FUTURE P4P NO.1

[-GDS-]

I knew Amir would go this route. For various reasons, he has the qualities of a great heel, someone people would love to hate. He's also a stablemate of Mayweather now, so I'm sure he's taking notes.

[The Gambler1981]

Everybody needs an angle and boxing can pretty much always use mouthy guys. Even mouthy guys who can't back it up because they will eventually get exposed.
