    LOL you hate him don't you? You think he sucks right? But are you gonna watch him fight tomorrow?

      I always watch Khan fight (would never pay to watch him though) unless its some nonsense like Salita. His fights are pretty exciting because he can be KTFO at any moment. I quite like the kid but he's a china chinned hypejob ducker.

        Difference being Floyd seems unbeatable and Amir, while wicked fast and talented, seems like he could be sparked out by anyone with a decent punch, at any time.

          Its mostly internet hate that would make you think people hate Amir, but that's not true. If they do hate him, him talking **** on Twitter is probably not the main reason.

I think he's already said how he wants to fight Mayweather and how he's gonna be the next Pacquiao. Some people like him, and some people hate him. But one thing for sure is that he sure gets alot of hype. Probably more than his accomplishments warrant him. He's not at all like Mayweather in terms of their fighting game but in terms of the way they are marketed there's some things in common.

            I think GBP is building a new bad guy.
            I think Khan is simply learning to embrace his weak public support.

                I disagree.

                Im not a fan but he is not particularly arrogant or ****y imo, he was before, well you could accuse him of that a little before but on the whole he is not overly arrogant or ****y imo.

                  If in fact Khan is boxings new bad guy, then im pretty sure this guy is gonna end up selling out Seats at the MGM. Think about it, and then get back to me.

                    well khan better start looking unbeatable to sell that.

                    people like paying to finally see the big mouth bad guy shut up an khan was beating pretty bad so it's going be kinda hard to sell it now.

                    but if he cleans out 140 then you might have something.
