Amir Khan should forget about pleasing the fans

I just think it's funny tbh.
Anyways, I've not been the biggest fan of Khan in the past and I've been openly critical about a lot of his mistakes etc.
But at least he's not offensive. And there's no way he deserved the utterly vitriolic hate he gets from many just for being "a bit of a knob" there's something more to it....
And honestly sites like this ain't helping, boxingscene will pick one line out of a 15 minute interview with Khan, a line that they know will send the haters into a frenzy, and drives up traffic.
You know, it's not as clear as it looksComment

They respect what he can do, but don't think he can beat Floyd.
It's Manny's fans that they can't stand.Comment

As another example, I've said many times that Carl Froch has the best resume in the sport. That he's a warrior, and that he always comes to fight.
That's respect is it not? Even if I don't think he could ever beat Andre Ward?Comment

For what it's worth I like Amir Khan and do think he gets shat on way more than he deserves.
I think it's because he was given the star treatment very early in his career before really earning it. Then when the losses came everyone who was resentful of him enjoyed seeing him brought down a peg.Comment
