    My ineptitude at what exactly? :huh. Those things do matter if you're looking at Khan in terms of someone looking to guide a fighter, especially the Peterson fight. There was no advantage for him as a fighter taking that fight in Washington yet he did and it proved his downfall. Do you think someone like De la Hoya would've done that? No chance. Khan's selling point as a promoter when taking on the likes of ******/Hearn is that he's been a high profile boxer before so can pass on his experience. Yet he seems not to have learnt from the mistakes as a fighter and so if you were a prospect, why on earth would you want him to promote you?

    And I'm not talking about perfection, I'm talking about showing some basic common sense which is the least you need as a promoter. And which Khan unfortunately seems to be completely devoid of. We will see how it goes but you're pretty deluded if you think he's shown anything which points to him being a successful promoter.

    Saj is just a troll. He's not to be taken seriously. Dwarf :rofl:lol: He's not perfect but whatever he's gotten Khan in terms of the good stuff over-weighs the negatives, I reckon.

    At being able to see my POV. The Peterson fight was a calculated risk. Business wise, it made huge sense and what unfolded in the ring was something you can not calculate. It happens all the time.

    You're heavily weighing on his mistakes. There's tons of uncontrollable factors here. Like I said, the positives outweigh the negatives. His awareness that he can create for a fighter outguns the negatives in his career. Negatives happen and then they go. His awareness will always remain.

    You learn from mistakes and as I continuously repeat myself, just because a person makes an error, does not mean he'll make it again. You mentioned 'not learning from his mistakes'. What are these mistakes he's continuously making? Did he make a mistake in challenging Garcia in Vegas?

    The **** about him going into the Garcia fight on short notice or whatever is nonsense. That's nothing to do with why he lost. He lost because of his own skill set. If you know anything about over training, you'd know that a fighter would continuously feel flat in the fight and not be effective. Amir was more than effective in the first second and even the third round. He just got clocked with a beauty of a shot and didn't recover. How can you blame his team or management for that?

    I'm bored and you're not going anywhere apart from repeating yourself. Let's just see, shall we?

    I you class most as people like our dearly departed friend Thomas!!!!!!!! then yeah, Khan might be quite smart.

    In real terms he'd certainly have been doing "Fuzz Buzz" until about the age of ten and just about learnt his 2, 3, 4, 5 & 10 times tables before leaving primary school, the rest in about year 9.

    He's as thick as ****.

    Yes we shall see. You seem to be over estimating Khan quite a bit from what I can see without any solid reasoning and if I'm repeating myself so much, that's because you keep asking me the same questions about mistakes or failings he has from a business point of view.

    You're wrong about the Peterson fight and most people acknowledge that. There was no "huge sense" in fighting there given that it didn't sell as it was meant to.

    And I believe you're underestimating him. His downfall in Washington was down to what Khan did in the ring, my friend. No one else.

    Time shall give us the answer to this debate.

    I'll tell you what's funny - the borderline ******s like Alba and Ashishwarrior having the temerity to mock Khan for his stupidity. Talk about a lack of self-awareness.

    Khan isn't an intelligent kid, but realistically when boxers set up these promotion companies, it's just their name attached to get some attention and coverage. Their involvement is minimal.

    But I can tell you right now, Khan isn't intelligent - at all.

    If Khan was the figurehead behind a wise & savvy team of experts then this might succeed

    Khan promotions will be an awful car crash if it ever gets off the ground

    I mean the promotional company you stupid ****ing ******. If I made Glass Chin Promotions it'd have no hype, nobody would talk about it. However, if I got Khan on board and made Khan Promotions it instantly gets attention and coverage.

    Honestly, you ****ing fan boy **** off you're boring. You're almost as stupid as your ****ing hero.
