    So, you disagree with the fact he is known around the world?

        He is well known in the UK, but not popular. Pretty much everyone i know loves watching his baby Giraffe impression when he gets hit with a good shot and likes to watch him get beat. For me its not his race that provokes such feelings, its his mouth and the incessant stream of verbal Diarrhoea that flows from it.

          I don't he is well known like Prince Naz was, Naz was known around the world during his peak years.

              He is close enough, but yes Naz had rich arabs giving him free cars and gifts after he won fights.

                NO different from any other big headed UK boxer, i.e Froch, Groves, Billy Joe Saunders, Chris Eubank Jnr, Haye, Fury, Chisora..etc..99% of British boxers are arrogant and it's this arrogance and self belief which keeps them going

                The only thing that separates Khan from a lot of boxers is he spends alot of time doing charity work which helps increase his profile. He's one of the only few active boxers who does charity work

                    I disagree, I would go as far as is 85% of Americans wouldn't know who Khan is.

                    That means out of every 100 people, maybe 2 will know.

                    Pacquiao, I would say out of every 100 people, 30-40 would know..same thing with Floyd Mayweather.

                    The only boxers that I than almost 80+ out of 100 with know is Ali, Tyson, and maybe Roy Jones.
