    Why does Amir Khan still have fans?

    I don't understand how he still has fans when he's so inactive. What are they a fan of? His tweets?

    Because all his fights are entertaining

    the way he fights, so recklessly at times, trying to prove a toughness that doesn't exist

    the fact that you know he can get knocked down or out at any point if something clean lands on that glass jaw

    he's just thrilling to watch


    he's similar to Deontay Wilder in that sense

      His fans are probably more disappointed in him than the rest of us are. They're a fan because they enjoy seeing him fight and he hasn't been fighting. Imagine if your favorite fighter was doing the same thing. You'd be disappointed but still a fan.

        As above.

        I'm still a fan of Ali and he ain't fought for quite some time.

          fast hands. at his best he had some of the best handspeed in boxing.
          good pop
          good looking kid
          been in great fights. has very good wins. was the best 140 lber in the world for a while.
          british fanbase
          slight "it factor" / what i call a "rub," being a pakistani-brit-******, not a group known to produce top boxers or athletes.

          i like khan. always looking forward to his fights, particularly with punchers.

          why doesn't he have more fans?
          his mouth . me chun!

            Amir "King" Khan is the greatest to lace them up.

              khan is tough as F, brih. he really is. IDK where the idea that amir khan isn't tough comes from. i think it's that he just doesn't have a good chin, which IMO is different from not being tough. dude has a big sack. his chin lets him down. it's bad for a top fighter. really, really bad when you compare it to garcia, matthysse in his prime, tim bradley, etc.

              he went out like a warrior against garcia. went to freaking war with peterson and maidana. i get excited for his fights. he's been in great ones, and i think he's got another war in him. then he'll retire.

                    Brook's last fight was a day after Khans'


                    Are you going to make a thread asking them the same thing?
