    Let me put it this way, if Floyd fought Amir in London Floyd would have more support from the crowd

    Yup. HOWEVER if Khan wasn't a **** it would go a long way to helping

    All people see with him is the Prescott loss tbh, and the fact he doesn't fight on domestic channels mean they havent had a chance to change their mind

    On the subject of his race I got a group-text joke thing once that said

    'When Khan won the Olympics he was British, but after he got knocked out he was a just a Packi'

    True tbh

    We had Kindelan training in our gym at one point, along with Gamboa, etc. That was not the winning Kindelan who fought Khan. He didn't try to win. Let me ask you a question, what would have happened to Khan's appeal if he had lost his last amateur bout? That televised amateur bout was to set Khan up to go and do big things as a pro, they would not let Kindelan derail those plans.

    Go watch Kindelans bouts with Khan, go watch as many Kindelan bouts as you can. He was quite clearly paid off.

    I've never thought Khan was especially arrogant or obnoxious. He isnt the sharpest tool in the box but team Khan & Golden Boy keep blowing smoke up his arse.

    He does a lot of charity work & built a gym in Bolton that a lot of kids use. Most people I know who've met him in person all remarked what a nice lad he is, he just doesnt always come across that way on tv.

    Yeah, that period in which he got blasted by Prescott, invited all of the racists out their woodwork.

    Barrera fight was a perfect example. The abuse he recieved that night was well documented.

    I must admit i have a respect for khan as a boxer.

    other than that , he's a full blown spanner. Just dont like the guy. I think it would make life easier if he jsut kept under the radar a little and stayed away from speaking out in public without help.

    That's not a good example at all! Khan's from Bolton, which is nowhere near London! Hence he has very little support in London. Mayweather is massive in the UK, most boxing fans I speak are big fans of Floyd Mayweather. Now if Khan fought Mayweather in Manchester, or somewhere in the North-West near Bolton, it would be different

    If Khan fought Mayweather, I'd support Mayweather, that doesn't make me a racist! I'm just a big fan of Floyd Mayweather, and not a big fan of Khan :deal

    So Kindelan who was trying beat khan 30 to 23.

    Khan was 17.

    The return bout was a few points the other way. Its posible he was paid off. But he was holding his own with Kindelan in the final despite 17.

    Completely ******ed reason to hate someone.

    I hate Ali because I'm convinced Liston took a dive.

    No it doesn't you're right.

    It would be the same in Manchester though. As he gets booed when he fights in the MEN Arena.
