Khan: HBO think I’m the best British fighter, the most skillful

By William Mackay: WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (25-1, 17 KO’s) seems to have the problem that fellow Brit David Haye had with his ego, and it might be a good thing for Khan to take a nice beating on Saturday night so that his feet can touch ground finally.

Khan is starting to sound more than a little cocky after a handful of wins over against mostly decent but not necessarily really good opposition. Khan faces IBF light welterweight champion Zab Judah (41-6, 28 KO’s) on Saturday night, and has been looking past this fight almost since day one towards a hoped for fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

In a BBC interview, Khan was in his normal bragging mood, saying “Pound for pound, I’m way ahead of all the other British fighters, and I think think people know that. HBO think I’m the best British fighter, the most skillful and the most exciting to watch.”

Khan is really starting to get full of himself it seems. I don’t see Khan as being the best fighter in the UK. Carl Froch is clearly better without all the flaws that Khan has going for him. And even Haye, is arguably a much more exciting fighter than watching Khan slap and run. Khan hasn’t had too many exciting fights other than his bout against Marcos Maidana, and that was Maidana that made it exciting with his constant pressure. If you remember, Khan was actually running from Maidana for the first nine rounds until tiring in the 10th and getting staggered from a right hand.

Judah would be doing Khan a big favor if he knocks him out, because Khan would then realize he’s not as good as he thinks he is and he could start focusing on working on his flaws.

    Amir Khan…haters hate all you want but u all know he is going to be boxings next big thing. Cuz he got style

  • George says:

    How can you say the judges helped Khan in the maidana fight…Maidana lost every round up until 10th round. He didn’t knock Khan out, Khan scored a knockout on him and was miles ahead on points. Completly out box him and made him look like a amateur. He made a mistae of proving he has got a chin and allowed maidana to throw his uppercuts which took there effect. Khan could have made easy work of zombie maidana by fighting him from the outside and then there would have been no way maidana connect on him. Amir Khan woops maidana, end of

  • Terry says:

    Can Judah fight anymore could he ever? His last fight was a gift from some blind judges thought judah believes it was from Jesus i heard him say it…….I dislike Khan immensley. not because he can’t fight he can.But because in the Maidana fight everybody helped him the judges the ref HBO.He must fight Maidana again…….Khan will beat Judah easily

  • John says:

    Boycot time…Bye bye Mackay

  • Tommy says:

    Lets all boy cot Mackays forums, until he has the decency to appologise to Mr Khan for the undeserved abuse and hatred he has shown to him. Sick of Mackay, please guys don’t read his threads, don’t comment anymore until he appologises to Khan. Only comment with Boycot messages…Thanks

  • giaco says:

    I dont like Khan ! Ithink he is totally overrated and would love to see Juah wax him.However i do agree with Rohaan.You are supposed to be writing non bias articles….If you dont like Khan,just come out and say it!

  • neverumind says:

    Do u ever give it a rest about khan Mckay? U make yr living of the guy…Give him a break….The kid tries his heart out in the ring and is fighting some good fighters….If u don’t like him, stop commenting on him and watching his fights. If u got nothing good to say, say nothing at all Mckay.

  • Rohaan says:

    Would you rather have him say, “No, I am clearly not a good fighter, and at most a mediocre British talent”. Seriously, can you stop writing like you are new to boxing?

    All fighters believe themselves to be the best, or have the potential to be the best. You are really running out of things to criticize Amir Khan for.

    I never post my opinion on forums, but this is getting to the limit. Khan vs Judah, great fight to look forward to, and that’s that.
