And the card stacking, cherrypicking Floyd is not a hypejob?! Lmao.. Khan deserves respect he is a 140lber fighting above his natural weight class. You can't say that for the weight bullies of today (Spence, Crawford etc)
Fighting GGG was a bad move IMO and took a lot off Brook's career, i think he'd be in better shape if he hadn't fought Golovkin but he'd still have lost to Crawford and Spence IMO. He'd have beat Khan whenever they fought though.
stop rewriting history the funding came off the back of fraudley terrestrial tv got involved on the back of big fraudley
Key word there - Fraudley. People knew it back then and nobody wanted to commit to him. The BBC pulled the plug on Fraudley and Haye by 2003. ITV picked it up circa 2004/2005 and Audley found a second wind there otherwise he would have been fighting at the York Hall against the likes or Brian Nix and Richel Hersisia forever. Khan's success at Athens showed how much scope for boxing there was in the UK.
the wheels were already turning stop rewriting history khan was funded off the back of aud aud was on tv before khan turned pro just stop it
get darni 147 in here darni 140 king kan 2011 where are yous were you not entertained with sheer brilliance laughing at you guys keep living in dream land break down in coming
I'm talking POST Khan. Of course Khan's ABA career was funding on the back of Harrison's succsss. Had Khan flopped at Athens would the funding have continued? Furthermore, Harrison's career stalled because the BBC never commited to it. He was an afterthought for them. Khan showed what the right backing can do and he popularised boxing again in the UK. Prior to ITV picking up his deal, had anyone even seen or really heard of Calzaghe? It was a snowball effect which benefitted many boxers. You're just so commited to counter-argue me that you're not even reading what I wrote or putting the chronology together. Come on man, you can do better than that. Your grammar has gotten worse too, have you been hacked?
Imagine thinking Calzaghe and Hatton only had great careers because of Kahn. I can't even comprehend how stupid you have to be to think that.
Agree completely. The idea that a Bayern Munich goalkeeper had anything whatsoever to do with the success of Hatton and Calzaghe is ludicrous to say the least.
Not talking about career and resume We're talking about exposure and the career boost from being on regular free easy-to-access TV here.
Massive heart, warrior until the last... My opinion of him went up a couple of notches last night, however should never have been in doubt re-watching the Maidana fight. He has made his money and leaves a great legacy, well done champ. Stay safe.
