Why would any Brits want Earl or Thaxton to beat Khan

Mate, your wrong here. Most people would like to see Khan get beaten by Earl cause he is a total muppet, nothing to do with colour, creed, money etc. The guy is a very unlikeable character, total split tail. His head is in the clouds, and is full of arrogance, a total wanker basically. I will laugh my arse off when he gets beaten. Warren is also a total wanker imo

 

that's what I'm saying too. Ignore the race card players on here. A dick is a dick.

 

He has already been fighting non-brits in his pro career (four at least) - Medjadji, Drilzane, Komjathi & Martynov.

 

Because Khan is a gobby, over-rated little twat who needs a serious wake up call before he ends up with egg on his face.

 

I don't think its fair to say people just want to be pessimists where Khan is concerned. Perhaps some are genuinely unconvinced - there could be many reasons for this such as his questionable chin & punch resistance and the fact he still looks amateurish at times, etc.

As for the hype surrounding him my problem is that he seems to actually believe it and we are seeing this more and more in the way he conducts himself out of the ring.

He is a great prospect but whilst I am able to recognise this I wouldn't dismiss others potential such as Murray or fail to recognise the achievements of Earl and Thaxton as is sadly too often the case in Khan threads on here.

A lot has been made of Khan's Olympic success and he did us proud but there is only so much you can milk it three years down the line. As for the Audley Harrison comparison, I think a case has already been made on a previous thread that Harrison's opponents were ahead of Khan's.

Yes, its great for Khan that he gets to headline on prime time tv - but its not so great for fans when his last fight certainly didn't live up to expectations or that billing. Whilst it is not Khan's fault that Lawton didn't put up any sort of challenge it inevitably, once again, led to criticism about Khan's level of opponents. Then the Earl fight was announced - a genuine contest and one which should, hopefully, answer some of the doubts about Khan.

 

No one is playing race cards mate they are just stating facts. I work in a rough trade that is full of rough arse white british fellas , The majority of which are casual boxing fans , They all want Khan to loose as he is Asian & the other fella is "one of them"....:? Its sad & ignorant especially to myself as a genuine boxing fan.
As it happens I think the boy is over-rated & the force feeding of him to the public only add's to the average person hoping he gets beaten....
Genuine fight fans can ignore race , creed etc but to the masses Amir is an uppity pakistani who needs a good hiding from a "real" brit........very very sad but reality Im afraid & for all you naive people out there go do the pepsi challenge on this subject in some local pubs & building sites & you'll see the truth...:?

 

Brits don't like winners, they like losers. They like Benn over Eubank and Bruno over Lewis. They want Earl and Thaxton over Khan.

Why the **** would anyone not want Khan to be successful, help British boxing etc

 

Totally agree :good

 

Pro boxing is a business and part of any sucessfull business is a descent product thats sells. Amir Khan like or hate him is a product that sells and sells big. That is the bottom line money, and think of how many people are getting a wage out of khan, people like his trainer and his "business advisor" some little asian dude who is always hanging around him. Lots of people are making too much money for khan to have a risky fight yet. Boxing is all about timeing and they are getting that pretty much spot on. To summarise Khan is worth too much money to too many people for him to have a trully 50/50 yet.

 

See my post above mate..............I know what you mean but we are speaking from a real boxing fans perspective the casual masses dont look at it like that.
Personally though I think the fat cats are protecting him because of the £ involved for now , As soon as he steps up to world class he's getting knocked out........He's got the offensive technique but not the defence or chin to be the superstar some are touting him to become.

 

I want Khan to win, I think the kids immensly talented. People are nitpicking on his faults but see if you took Floyd Mayweather Jr 13th fight or something im sure you could sit and pick fault with his performance. Khan is learning , the only difference is he is making his mistakes and learning from them infront of the whole nation.

 

yeah can't really argue with that, I hear ya.
From a proper boxing fans point of view we can't wait to see him get crushed as he's a cocky, overrated muppet.
