Amir Khan - Delusional... or a great publicist

[DiegoJ]

Has Khan merely just worked out that to get ahead in boxing you have to talk an unadulterated amount of ****e, irrespective of talent or achievement... or does he actually believe what he spouts...

His stablemate, Andre Ward, has got a significantly better CV than Khan, but Ward barely ranks a mention... primarily because he is God-fearing and seldom lavishes praise on himself.

i think he is delusional, he does believe what he says even though he gets rocked in almost every fight he is in

[Rudiamonds]

Na khan got big head cause he got a great resume the only thing that holds him back is his chin he got a better resume then most oppenet Floyd fought if you don't agree with that your just hating

[Lazakill]

Terribly WRONG.

let me give u some history.

He was the ONLY Great Britain Olympian to enter the Athens 2005 Olympics at age 17. He won a silver medal. He's a ****** that represents his home country of Pakistan and England. This achievement alone was huge.

He had significant backing with top promoter Frank Warren where his fights were shown or terrestrial TV to MILLIONS (No exaggeration). His performances talk too, he is incredibly exciting and always showed that on TV. He isn't just a boxer, he's a celebrity due to this.

From an achievement perspective, well obviously first came the brutal KO where everybody thought he'd never do anything in boxing and hide away - that didn't happen. Instead he faced the music and went out to become a world champion at 140. He had made his reputation, then he left for America where he had top backing with GBP. You know who he fought since then.

Anyway, what you need to understand is his backing was extremely and still is very strong because of his nationality, religion and so on. I barely touched the surface with this. There is A lot more but w/e.

Delusional. Watch the pre Garcia fight build up. He is no Chael Sonnen that is for sure.

Really, better than Juan Marquez, Miguel Cotto, Oscar Dela Hoya, Shane Mosely, Arturo Gatti, Zap Judah, Ricky Fatton?

Fury's a great publicist, Khan really is delusional.

He's a ****** that represents his home country of Pakistan and England.

???

What has him being a ****** got to do with anything, and which country is he representing - England or Pakistan?

[Isaac Hunt]

Delusional but it works for him and against him. His high opinion of himself protects him from being hurt by criticism and makes him a game fighter but it blinds him to his shortcomings so he never fixes them.
