Amir khan and political correctness

[IRONSENSE2002]

Now i'm getting an awful amount of hate for calling a spade a spade. Whenever any leading fighter in the UK openly criticizes khan. And the crtisim is legitimate there called racists. Theres so much sensitivity around the issue its quite pathetic. When david have a man of Jamican heritage lost to Wladamir the whole nation laughed at him and called him a fool. Lets not pretend khan hasn't done his fair share of talking. Each time khan speaks to the media every second sentence is about a potential mayweather fight. I Think the media need to stop making excuses whenever khan looses. The boxing pundits in particular need to be frank and need to come out and well and truly shit on him. The reason why i feel fighters like carl froch are holding back from openly critsizing khan, is the backlash that may result from such comments, people who are near and dear to Mr Khan. May misinterpret such statements as racism, and by knocking a popular fighter/media darling you create yourself as a bad guy i suppose.

I have Asian friends who can't stand him and have used words about him that if I were to have used I would be brandished as a racist.

If he were white, black or mixed race he'd get much more stick than he does from the media but he doesn't and the only people who are criticising him based on his delusions of grandeur (amongst other things) are those who aren't particularly bothered about being called racist.

I don't believe racism is the primarily motivating factor for most people, it may be for some but there's always a small number of people who have racial prejudice.

I once saw Amir Khan beating a white policeman on TV

Who the hell brings up race. I don't think he's got a boxing IQ, think he'll just get stopped again by someone who has power and technical variety. The race thing is long gone mate. Don't know why you compare him to David Haye. Haye trash talked his way to the fight and it ended being boring from his side. Khan barely done any trash talking and fought with heart after getting knocked down. Big difference.

It's the gatwick mob that bring up race

[Phill-Mitchell]

Not this tosh again

Amir stinks like a saag aloo.
