Brits...Why all the hate for Khan>?

[craigus1990]

How many times do we have to go over this crap? All I ever hear is Khan fans asking why he isn't loved and playing the race card! I have said this 100 times before but here we go again.
I dislike Khan because I believe he gets preferential treatment in the world of boxing that he just flat out does not deserve.
I have watched every Khan fight since his first bout in the olympics. When he was in the olympics I thought he was a good boxer and dare I say it, even liked him.
Then he turned pro and this huge deal was made about him when the obvious flaws in his game were ignored and he was force fed to us. He then got exposed numerous times under Frank Warren yet still got ****** paydays for fighting nobodies that he struggled with. He then gets KTFO by Prescott and he says "I made a mistake" and he blames his trainer for the gameplan being wrong when in fact it was evident that he got rocked by a jab and put down by Willie Limond et al. and his chin sucks.
So anyway he gets Freddy on his team and in his interviews he now talks about how he is the next Manny and how they have wars in sparring and how he will be beating up Floyd soon and how Freddy is making him a complete fighter blah blah blah...
He has an okay little run beating up on some mediocre guys but ultimately gets exposed again.
He then says Freddy is no good for him (going against everything he said before). I don't like Freddy but at least that guy has accomplished a great deal in the sport and Khan acted like Freddy didn't know how to train him....
Anyway... after getting exposed for the 1000th time as an average fighter.... he still gets paid as if he is an elite fighter and GBP still suck his schlong.
Now he is with Hunter and he now talks like he is the next Ward and how his defense will be awesome but guess what? He is still garbage, yet consistently talks like he is the best and how he is a worthy Mayweather contender....
The guy is a joke and has one of the lowest IQs in and out of the ring of any fighter in the modern era....
It essentially comes down to him being unjustly big headed and getting preferential treatment.... that is all.

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.

Are you saying the people who hate khan hate him because they're jealous of him?

[EvilGenius]

can only speak for my self..
I really like him..
exciting as **** to watch

**** on! Exactly how I feel and I presume every other person who isn't keen on Amir Khan.
You summed it up perfectly, green K!

I'm white English, I can honestly say Khan does get a lot of hate mainly from white lads, ive been around people who hate him simply because he is Asian.

Its kind of sad, but you cant change a racist ****s attitudes, I just ignore it, many of them don't have a clue about boxing to start with

On the flipside there are a lot of white fans of Khan who admire the kids heart, like myself

He's done a lot for British boxing, encouraged so many kids to get in to boxing, and everyone who meets him always have good things to say about him.

[lfc19titles]

because sadly, despite what you see, people can use the internet to be racist or hate a guy because he is not white and successful but then just use other excuses to justify their hate

simply

if he was ENGLISH, the fact is he is british, his first country he loves is Pakistan as his family lives there (majority)

people will keep on hating, I wish he had the talent to prove them wrong but he does not

[Money_May]

I'll never forget the racism at the Barrera fight, standing there with my British flag I was shocked to say the least. How can you be racist to one of your own? Lol.

[larksanders]

Ok I'll bite

I'm not a brit, but the reason why I don't care for him is because he believes the hype that Golden Boy has inserted into his head. I'll do a breakdown:

He has always been chinny, getting floored a few times before the Prescott fight.

He then gets DESTROYED by Prescott, decides to make a change and move to train with Freddie Roach. Had a lot of success with Freddie Roach, talks about how he loves to train with the champ (PAC). During this time Bradley is beating Holt, Peterson, Campbell, and the last person for him to face is Alexander (remember how that fight would determine who the biggest 140lber was?). Khan had the big time promoter, who put this guy on a pedestal and let the other guys battle it out to then face Khan. Bradley wins, decides to wait out his contract with Shaw so he can get a big money fight and Khan goes all out saying he ducked him. Whereas, Khan BARELY made it past Maidana.

Khan fights Peterson, and while the fight was close he makes every excuse in the world of why he lost and was robbed. If he was as good as he thought he was, the fight shouldn't have even been close. Khan goes on about how Peterson never hurt him, he had no power etc. Then Peterson gets caught with higher testosterone levels and Khan comes out saying Peterson's punches felt different etc (***** move).

He then gets KO's by Gracia and again starts to point the finger. Fired Roach, said things about Roach is slowing down and he doesn't teach defense. He teams up with Hunter and now starts saying how much he has changed and how he is learning so much. But he is still getting hit with looping left hooks, still punches over his feet, and his defense hasn't improved. Yet Golden boy (again) wants all the tough guys to fight each other, then get him.

All in all, he's just not as good as he thinks he is. You would think after that many asswhoopings (Prescott, Maidana, Peterson, Gracia, Diaz), he would actually say I'm still working on things. What does he say though "I'll be champion by the end of the year". His code has been cracked, he's all flash and no substance. Get past those first couple of rounds with him and he's ripe for the taking.

Done.

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.

I guess it doesn't matter much, but Senchenko KO'ed Hatton as well and no disrespect to Hatton there since that was a legit threat for his comeback fight.

Hate is a strong word reserved for extremists. What I dislike about Khan is what most people already pointed out, he never acknowledges his own faults and weaknesses, and always puts himself up there with the likes of Floyd and Manny without proving it.
