Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: I Think It's Great To Be The Underdog

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

For a boxer who's spent his entire career with something to prove and has been written off as many times as has Amir Khan, it's startling that he only now experiences the underdog role.

The former 140-pound titlist and current welterweight contender moves up more than a full weight class to challenge one of the game's very best to arrive at this point. Few expect Khan to come out victorious in his challenge versus lineal middleweight champion Saul Canelo' Alvarez when they meet at a maximum catchweight at 155-pounds this Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Is this fight a Khan job?

Khan talked himself into this mega fight.
Now we'll see if he's as good as he thinks he is.
Alvarez gets another chance to prove he deserves elite status.
He has to stop or totally dominate Khan to convince me he's not overrated.
Should be interesting.

Khan's an annoying muthaf.ucka. But to his credit, he's daring to be great. Which is a lot more than can be said about some of the overrated hypejobs that consistantly have their ballz massaged around here for taking paths of ZERO resistance.

But you're absolutely right, he talked his way into an undeserved big fight. Now its up to him to take advantage of it.

khan hasnt been written off

he's been beaten by lesser competition mostly by knockout
he's not an underdog. he's simply outclassed and is expending the last part of his political capital jumping into a pool that's way too deep and dangerous for him. he is in the worst situation possible and thinks by not acknowledging it - its a victory in some way. people don't care about this and probably wont even buy the fight they just want to check in on the internet and see who wins and watch it for free next week. they only care who wins and he is just a bump in the road to canelo. he can fight brook next year in London but he'll be a broken fighter by then and after brook crushes him there will really be no one else and he'll mean nothing and all his hot air hype will not even make it into boxing e-zines and blogs. hahaha khan cant wait to see you knocked out - I hope you read this you silly little freak
