    khan gained a publicity boost several years ago associating himself with pacquiao but he is unknown to the casual fan at this point.

      Yup and only theirs is the one to be respected.

      The pettiness of this forum is unbelievable in regards to Khan like boxing wise is one thing but even if Khan does something good like charity for say theres criticism on that too.

        it's absolutely true. if you went out on the street and asked someone who amir khan was they'll probably shrug at you, say something about pacquiao or "yeah he got knocked out right? glass chin."

            Sunday 9th at 11:59pm, this favours Maidana as he'll get 5 hours of time difference to close the show.

            NSB will get mad over every Khan quote if he gets the fight

              Try voting for Maidana and see what happens.

                Floyd even rigging the vote. Can this whole sorry episode get any more embarrasing?

                  Khan is better known, for whatever reason, than Maidana.

                  Maidana has beaten Broner - but he's never been in with a popular American fighter like Khan has on a couple of occasions. Also, let's not forget that Broner was doing meagre ratings on HBO and could barely sell 3k tickets for his fight.

                  His profile was just hyped up. But of course, Maidana has had a lot more press recently and that comes with a lot of notoriety.
