    Khan's a pretty modest young guy. So he dares to believe in himself, OMG, whattacrime.

      To me Khan seems like a down to earth guy who just wants to win titles and make a ton of money at the same time (basically just like any other boxer out there.)

      On the whole I get the feeling that people who think Khan is arrogant, believe this because he always talks about future fights he wants to have down the line .i.e. Mayweather. Personally, I do think Khan does talk about mayweather a tad to much but how on earth is he going to get a fight with floyd without calling him out all the time?

      Almost every respected fighter is calling out floyd and manny trying to hit the jackpot fight, but no-one seems to call all them other fighters arrogant, so why is Khan the exception??

      If Khan went into fights saying that the other fighter is absolutly no match for him whatsoever and he would blow them out the water within the first 2 rounds, than we have every right to call him arrogant, but wanting to fight the best by calling them is arrogance???

      Just wondering why some people think he is arrogant?
      Peace.
      I would be arrogant too if I was a star boxer.

        You know, after Khan-Maidana, it was Amir who wanted to take a friendly picture with Maidana, while Marcos just sat there and glowered and sulked like he didn't want to share a civil word with Khan.


        But Khan's arrogant, ok.

          Khan also tried to shake hands at the beginning of the fight and at the 12th round. He's a good lad at heart, but when he gets in a position where someone asks him a question, he gets all starry eyed and starts day dreaming.

          He is arrogant, but most boxers are. He just needs to only be talking about Zab Judah right now, we've heard next to nothing from him about the Judah fight, its all been about Mayweather,

          You cant pay that little respect to Zab Judah without motivating him further. He's got a former undisputed Welterweight Champion in front of him who's been in with the best. This isnt a crude slugger like Maidana or a powderpuff Paulie M, this is a tough, technical and dangerous fight and Amir's taking his eye of the ball with all this dreaming about Floyd

              Mmm, I agree.



              I see Judah as a stern test, not a foregone conclusion. I'd go as far as to say it feels like a 50/50 fight.



              Amir's big dream for now needs to be beating a guy with the experience and winning pedigree of Zab Judah.

                I was going to reply that you're just a punk who can type, but, well, you can barely do that.

                  It is a 50/50 fight yeah, but Amirs got hard fights ahead and this is a perfect test at the perfect time. He wins and he arguably becomes a legitimate P4P fighter having unified the division

                  Zab could spoil all that, get a good second wind in his career by beating 3 top 10 140lbers on the spin, unified a division and is back in the mix for a superfight.

                      He is not arrogant at all, certainly not for a boxer he ain't arrogant.

                      The racists are just bitter and jealous.
