    Amir Khan

    Became a multi-millionaire off reebok, range rover and other endorsements before his first pro fight. Believed his own BS. Never really matured past that point, boxing wise or personality wise it seems. Dickhead nearly ran into me one day in St Johns Wood in his Range Rover with "Amir Khan" lettering replacing "Range Rover" on the front.

    Pity he didn't. I'd have taken him to the cleaners.

    I think alot of vargas problem was he was a boxer who was a fan of Julio cesar Chavez...he wanted too be like Chavez and take 4 to land 1 ..and be that knuckle up warrior ...that was what he felt a Mexican fighter should be ...it screwed his career up but hey who wants to be the champ right? He didnt do too bad

    Similar to Vargas I just think he met Tito as a young undefeated Champion. Of course a lot of guys are not the same after getting Tito’s.
