    Khan is probably more closely related to a European than to Pac.

    It's true, Khan and Pac arent even the same race!

    Just because they're from the same continent (this is technically true, although in the USA we refer to Pakistan as middle eastern - rarely would you hear someone call a Pakistani person or Indian person "Asian" here) doesn't mean ****. Middle easterners are technically caucasian (no, this doesn't mean that they are white - North Africans are also Caucasian). Manny Pacquiao is East Asian (Oriental is a common term but dont know if this is PC), a different thing entirely.

    Darni you mug :) trying to big Khan up huh ?

    Physically, South Asians are the most feeble human beings. They are hardly as athletic as the East Asians. Now don't call me a racist because I have South Asian conections. That's the Gurkhaland if you know where it is.

    well, khan was born and bread in Bolton, England and is as much British (growing up with Brit food, water, environment, air, which shapes you more)

    Thats why they have bagged many many gold medals in the olympic wrestling. lol
    How many Izzy?

    Lesson- learn to expand your shell. Sorry if I sound rude but S Asians are the most fragile ones. And no, they are not the best wrestlers. Have you seen wrestlers other than Indians and Pakistanis at all ?

    Seriously it doesn't bother me if people speculate whether certain racial groups have physical advantages they can bring to the sports.
    What I do find strange is the lumping of Amir Khan and Manny Pacquiao. :think
