    Does anyone know for a fact if he wrote that?

    Anyone who has heard Khan speak on tv can see the total difference between how he speaks on tv and this written english. They don't match.

    Would be suprised if that was him writing that.

    It's not uncommon for well spoken athletes to drop about fifty I.Q. points when they use the internet. They're no different than we are, they take shortcuts too :lol:

    Now Khan doesn't strike me as the sort of guy who'd go around insulting people..but it's entirely possible he wrote that.

    Your saying that from the perspective of an older person. Vast amounts of today's youth in the UK seem to constantly use 'txt speak' and crap spelling irrelevant of how articulate they may be verbally

    of course it was khan himself.

    He had a fan/friend update his site, that sounds plausible, BUT one thing is to do an update and anoter is having a conversation, as if you are khan himself.

    perhaps he let a 4 year old ****** do his update and spelling:yep

    totally bull**** from khan.

    Yea totally appreciate what you are saying mate, but i'm just saying the two are just totally different. I personally don't know anyone who's written english is so far different from their spoken.

    Thats why i am saying i would be very suprised if it was him saying, well typing that lol. I think it wasn't him, but you never know.

    Because some of us think Khan may have wrote that, we might be on crack? Fail.

    Are you seriously saying don't know anyone who uses a mobile to txt spk?

    Apparantly Khan is always on his mobile and probably twatters from there hence his Engrish.

    Tommyv,

    Apparently Khan and Paulie Malignaggi had a war of words (with really bad spelling and grammar) on twitter. Look up the full transcript on the scene.

    Has anyone ever read tweets of other boxers? Bad spelling/text talk seems to a common trait.

    The first twitter conversation did seem out of character, and not the kind of thing you'd expect to come out of Khan's mouth. But I guess it still could have been him. We'll never know

    You're the one that said Khan headbutted Barrera lol....did you have a look at the youtube clip?

    Yea i do know kids who txt speak, like 15 year olds, i don't know ppl in their 20's who txt speak to that extent. Maybe 'u' instead of 'you' but thats as far as it goes.
