    Hatton wasn't arrogant, he was a guy that people could relate to. Ricky also beat KT and though he lost his biggest fights, he was still in the ring with the best of this generation. Khan has come no where near Ricky's accomplishments.

    Also: Khan sucks.

        No shame in losing to Pac, Floyd, or even a prime Rahman.

        Khan chats so much shyt(In the words of my Brit friends) and backs none of it up. Then constantly looks underwhelming. Always looking ahead and never learns from his mistakes.

        "He rich doe" is pretty much his only saving grace at this point.

          I don't really have anything against Khan, he get abuse because he is young, rich and successful, that's normal when other compare their lives to him.

            Why all the love for Khan? Hes got less personality than a doorkn0b, hes thick, delusional, has sub-par skills, & is down & outright irritating. He gets everything handed to him on a plate.

            ''Hes exciting''

            Really?

            What is exciting about a heavily flawed guy with a boring amateur style, no power and a glass jaw? Hes not anymore exciting than any other vulnerable fighter! Hes is not anymore exciting than say Enzo Maccarinelli but I don't see everybody hanging off his nuts.

            I'm sure if many other fighters was pressed like Khan was they too would be multiple time world champions. He is just another mediocre fighter that has been pushed in our faces.

              Hatton won 40 some odd fights before losing and only lost to the best p4p fighters in the sport.

              Khan has been beaten down three times in half as many fights against nowhere near the caliber of opposition.

              Ricky 'atton was dead down t'earth and such

                The "he's exciting" excuse is just a cop out for British fans to continue to kiss his ass and share in the denial.

                You make a great point about Enzo. Just like Khan he is an ex paper champion and every one of his fights ends in a KO inside of 6 rounds... now that's technically even more exciting than Khan by the definition Khan fans use.

                The Khan fans probably put Smokin Bert Cooper on their all time p4p list just behind Ron Lyle and Mickey Ward and ahead of Amir Khan.

                  I don't mind Khan but I think at this stage we can all agree that he's just one big accident waiting to happen.

                  TS also has a point about race even though it's not as bad as some like to make out, but ultimately you're ****** to think that Khan isn't hated (by some) because of his ethnicity, you only have to look at a few youtube comments to figure that on out.

                    Its like the two guys in your avatar Froch & Kessler - Now they're what you call exciting! Two great conditioned athletes who have been at the top for years and always puts on a great show and usually win and by knockout.

                    Exciting to me is watching a fighter get hurt, hit with monster shots and coming firing back! On the edge of your seat thinking wow, how the hell is he still standing, let alone coming back like that.

                    Not some guy who is hitting the deck everytime hes touched and running around on spaghetti legs.
                    Everytime I watch Khan its almost like I'm watching the same fight over & over only its like a different round hes buzzed in.
                    Hes a glorified headhunter who does the same thing over & over, rushing in with little pitty-pat flurries.
                    Uncoordinated, no head movement, its the same thing repeated.

                      Hatton got Ko'd by Mayweather and Pac. Lennox by Rahman. Khan lost to Peterson, and got KO'd by Garcia and Prescott. He acts like a tool and the best thing ever even after that. You can get KO'd by May or Pac and still hang your head high, theyre two of the best of this era. Rahman was a tough fighter. Garcia and Peterson and good fighters in a division with no standout talent, thats all. Prescott...really? That could be why he gets the hate, it has nothing to do with race, grow up.
