JPB, now i know your're on the wind up

Khan is Stupid, thick, a little girl, rants on twatter, uses the race card, and thus making him even more stupid, which for him is hard.

He would never be near world title fights, if he had not been protected and when he comes into the ring with a guy who can punch, well we see how good his glass jaw is

======
Any Brit who does well in the Olympics is suddenly pushed forward as a top, top class boxer who will dominate his weight divison (and others) by the media. When they step up to pro boxing people expect them to be challenging for titles. When they are instead fighting 4 or 6 round bouts against bums people get frustrated by their own lack of knowledge.

Obviously Khan has also picked up haters on the way, but Olympic boxers face a difficult fight to keep the part time fans onside.
James deGale is another who has suffered rather than benefitted from winning gold.

There are some exceptions, David Price for example.
