    Youre bound to get uncouth fans from every corner and its silly to judge all Khans asian fans as such. i think it may be bitterness in their part that khan isnt as supported by the british which they feel is due to ethnicity. most of us asians unite and support our british fighters regardless of petty issues with creed

    how can you say khan isnt supported, he was hitting huge pay-per-view figures his entire career? Look at the support he got at the olympics, it was only when he got ko'd in a round that people felt ripped off and started shying away from the ppv events. Hes the best supported british fighter right now, without doubt.

    I take no notice of nob heads outside the ring. There are ****s everywhere in every walk of life.

    Khan shocked me tonight. The speed is a killer, he doesnt come in from flashy angles and he doesnt trick his opponants into stepping into shots, he doesnt need to. He throws bog standard shots but they are so fast your reacting too late to the 1st one your dont see the 2nd and as your thinking about reacting to the 2nd the 3rd is on its way.

    And my biggest niggle about Khan was the way he tended to stand still and upright with his gloves high to his chin if somebody threw a sustained attack, hes learned to take a step back, get out of range and counter it. Much better.

    I thought he would and should win last night but i honestly thought hed find a wiley character like Judah harder work than he did.

    I've never heard that they are just happy that Khan is supported - and the Asian fans i've met really liked Rick Hatton, they loved his style of fighting, and support David Haye too.

    I'm Asian, and you're talking bollocks right there. Why the **** would we be upset with Amir being supported by White people? Stop ****-stirring.

    race has got nowt to do with it. I really like amir alot (and i was someone who really didnt at one stage but im happy to be proved wrong!!!). I even think deep down he is quite humble and always comes across well. He gets alot of stick for the odd thing he's said or done, but people forget hes 24 year old and as far as im concerned hes not said anything other fighters haven't. Considering how successful hes been he could be alot more big headed (which i dont think he is).

    I do have a problem with his "team". They seem real cowboys and its a shame they are family as i think the best thing khan could do for his career is to get rid of them. But that will probably never happen

    I think hes an amazing talent and has done everything right since prescott. However i dont think hes god. Hes got balance issues and relies on his speed a little too much and not enough on his footwork which i actually dont think is all that great. And if he continues to rely on speed and reflexes his whole career history has shown they usually dont end up with a very long career. However every fight iv seen huge improvements so what more can you ask for? He has answered the critics and haters each time and continues to grow as a fighter.

    Im proud that we have such a talented fighter :good
