Comments Thread For: Khan: People Keep Having a Go at Me. Is it Jealousy?

[FlatLine]

Khan you're just going to have to face the fact that when you talk it just irks people. You always have arrogant undertones even when trying to stay diplomatic. Its always you telling people what other people think of you, no one ever hears it first hand which is arrogant.

You don't seem genuine at all, copying Floyd doesn't help either, for example talking in 3rd person using first and last name, its just not natural.

You're just not a likeable personality through the media.

Khan's one of the nicest boxers out there, he will phuck you up if you phuck around but he's still one of the nicest. Some people just look at him with an overly critical eye and exaggerate any small blemish as if it's a major dent in his character. Bottom line is: Khan's a cool dude..

And to try to explain something else: he refers to himself in third person sometimes due to his rise to fame at such a young age (only 17). Media in the UK went wild and Khan's name was everywhere, he literally became one of the most famous people in the UK at the age of 17. So it's almost as if Khan turns into his own publicist/promoter when he calls himself "Amir Khan", he became so used to other's calling him that (probably his own family too would call him both first and last name "Amir Khan" out of pride and admiration) so he almost got trained to sometimes do that too - it's also as if he's separating "Amir Khan: the boxer/celebrity/product/commodity" from just the normal, everyday Amir.

Not to mention Herrera beat Garcia fairly easily which further proves that Garcia just fluked the Khan fight. Very few people consider Garcia the world champion since Herrera beat him like that so in reality what does Khan gain from fighting a virtual nobody Garcia?

It shows how hardcore Khan is, he wants the fight anyway just to prove the point, even though Garcia isn't really the champ, Herrera is. I bet Khan fights Herrera after that (and Herrera is another rematch which Danny ducked - surprise, surprise). You can't deny Khan's greatness the sport, it's downright impossible dammit

I bet khan will fight Herrera too. its a cherry pick.

I like the idea of Khan vs Herrera. Maybe that should be his next fight. Stop talking and keep fighting all comers, Mr. khan.

why? because its a easy fight for khan?

kell brook is the only fight that makes sense and cents for khan next

Actually, being a self centered, gloating, pestering, unrealistic... personality that has often disappointed even his most ardent fans doesn't help his general popularity & public opinion. Cassius Clay/Ali was one that talked and bragged his way to a Liston fight. He generated his rather annoying disliked persona and charisma that often culminated into amusing laughter and hate. BUT Clay/Ali backed up every word he said. It goes without saying that Khan is no Ali, never will be, no doubt, but he's trying TOO HARD to rip a page of out of life of THE GREATEST to get his "Liston" (Floyd) into the ring and continues to make a tiring & disliked clown of himself.

Your too pompous man, too pretentious and too narcissistic. That is why I personally find you annoying, there ya go, my Christmas gift to you.

Khan vs Mayweather

First, Khan is a very good boxer. Can't take that away from him. But at the same time, Devon Alexander is no where near the accomplished fighter as Mayweather. His skills are good at best. For Khan to say he deserves Mayweather is funny. You had two fights at welterweight, Luis Callazo who was slow and Alexander who you never never know which one shows up. The one that lost to Shawn Porter or the one that won against Lucas Matthysse even thought it was a split decision. Devon Alexander looked like more of the one in the Porter loss. He was never aggressive. He didn't take the fight to Khan. He stood back and tried to be a counter puncher which he isn't. Boxing is not just about slugging it out. It's about out smarting your opponent enough to win. I've been in the game since 8 years of age. I'm 44 now. We've all seen and heard "this is the next to be the next that will become the best to beat the best." There is no blue print. Floyd is a true counter puncher at it's best. He's a defensive fighter that uses your offense in a way to negate your strengths. He doesn't try to knock you out. He just simply adapts to your style and overcomes it. I'll give you a fight for example. Everyone talks about Khan speed. But Zab Judah was actually beating Floyd through 5 rounds. Until Floyd figured him out and changed the fight around. Floyds best assets are his defense and intelligence in the ring. Everyone wants to see a knockout. But that's not Floyd style. If it comes he'll take it. Khan has the range and speed to beat Floyd as everyone including Khan thinks. But isn't that what the previous 47 said? So if all these outstanding trainers, boxers and writers had the knowledge, why does he still have no losses? We can all criticize Floyd for who he's fought lately but who has Khan fought to "deserve" a fight with him over Pacquiao. The records of Khan don't equate to the same. Yet he feels more deserving than Pac. I would personally like to see him fight both. Pac first then Khan just to shut him up. But there are other welterweights out there for Khan. The same way people have said Floyd ducked Pac, what about Khan vs Thurman or Bradley. It's about the dollar. His biggest pay check will come against Floyd. If you compare records, Khan doesn't match up again Floyd or Manny to be deserving of a fight. It's funny how Oscar will do anything to get that big fight. Remember he was the one to give everyone the blue print of how to beat Floyd, but he lost and all his fighters he put up against him. He beat Cotto, everyone looks at the punches landed on Mayweather as being a big deal. News flash people. It's a sport where you'll get hit, just hopefully not as much as your opponent. So to me, let's just make that fight that makes sense and everyone wants to see. Floyd vs Manny. Let the winner of that fight Khan. Let's just remember this. 21 of those wins came against world champions, to include Oscar. So call Floyd what you want. But at this point in his career, there's only one fighter in his way that truly in my opinion and it's just that mine, that defines his greatness. Manny Pacquiao. I know many will disagree with me but that's fine. All you have to do is be a student of the sweet science we call boxing to understand my opinion.

He always wanted a rematch with Garcia, but he never got a rematch.

I personally would like to see Pacquiao vs Mayweather and on the undercard Garcia vs Khan 2

why do you prefer khan vs Garcia 2 over khan vs brook?
