Is Amir Khan's wealth and fame limiting his in ring potential?

Anyone got a link to the video or article?

I can see that being true. He gots Rocky III-syndrome. Gotten soft. Needs to have Hunter bring some poultry into camp to chase.

I honestly, like legit honest, don't understand guys like Manny & Floyd & other guys making millions upon millions who keep boxing & even fight twice a year. I don't think its healthy to have the love of boxing in the ring that Manny & Floyd do/did. I was never a huge Maidana fan, while always liking & respecting him, but he's damn near my favorite boxer via inactivity & now retirement cuz I 100% identify with him. If I'm making 2 PPV paydays in a row worth $5M+ I gotta assume I'm buying my 40yr retirement watch early too.

And I see Khan perhaps having a similar mindset to Maidana with boxing at this point in his career. He'd just assume retire if not for a competitiveness he obviously has ingrained in him I'd be willing to bet. Certainly his actions over the last couple years have been heavily leaned towards a low risk strategy being in place til he hit the big fight lottery that says he's ready to cash in & get out.

I voted no. I just don't think he is that good. I have no idea if he is giving boxing a 100% effort or not. All boxers have to try hard to reach their full potential. Cotto, Canelo, Pacquiao and Mayweather are all very wealthy and they still fight well. How was he a millionaire at age 17? He had not had any pro fights.Is his family very wealthy? He was knocked out by Prescott and has never tried to avenge that defeat so I don't think he was that good. In the Alexander fight he seemed trained to a very high level so I think he is trying hard to be the best boxer he can be but maybe his potential is not that good.

Who wouldn't rather hand out free food to refugees than get knocked clean out again?

Yeah what a coward he is going to help out in charity whilst Kell Brook hangs about with his druggie chav mates and then gets stabbed in the leg, muh leg doe, feel sorry for me doe.

I think most would agree that Khan's biggest weakness is his poor chin and poor powers of recovery. He doesn't take head punches well and once he is hurt he is very slow to recover. In his KO loss to Garcia he had a minute in his corner to recover from the knockdown but he did not recover. His wealth has nothing to do with this weakness.

Khan is more known for getting KTFO than actually achieving anything.

His best win was probably Paulie FFS.

He was protected and fed title shots, when he stepped up he got his ass handed to him.

Now all he does is talk **** and run scared.

The guy was a millionaire before being a genuine champion and fighting in USA.

After he finished the 2004 olympics and turned pro he was paid very generously for fighting bums and the hypetrain started.

He believed his own hype because he was paid well for not doing/proving much.

Fast forward to today, all his losses ignored, his mentality ******ed and delusional, his own self-worth overexaggerated thinking he deserves millions for fighting Diazs, Molinas etc.

He was a spoiled brat and thats what created the little diva ***** attitude.


The whole reason he didn't stick around to win Gold in another olympic competition was because his team were greedy, aka scammers trying to leech what they could. Worked out well for them too!

Who knows how good he could have been! All i know is hes not genuine

Khan isn't the master boxer some think he is.

[Box-Office]

I believe so. He should be in the gym working on his defensive liabilities. The reason why he looked so spectacular against Collazo and Alexander is cuz he'd been in the gym all that time, fight or no fight.
