What inarticulate bull**** from this Shah person. atsch His arguments are so carefully selected that only the dumbest moron on ESB would fall for his arguments. For example, he uses Eubank and tries to say that blacks and middle-eastern fighters are victims of racism in the UK. How about Lewis then, who was and is admired or how about Frank Bruno who was one of the most beloved English fighters? Clearly this Shah-moron thinks everyone here are really dumb if he thinks we will buy arguments like this. Khan er getting some dissing because of two things: Halo effects from VERY arrogant Hamed and secndly the fact that Khan was in fact very cocky himself until reality caught up with him. Stop crying Shah, and stop writing if all you can write is pure none-sense.
It's a Scottish dish, the equivalent to calling a Paki (sorry Asian) a curry - you ignorant ****. FFS there is a shop down the road from me that the locals refer to as "the Paki's" even though it's a white guy that owns it now, it's just a term used for that kind of shop - It is often used as a descriptive rather than offensive term, only paranoid ****ing idiots like yourself would think otherwise. What I'm saying is that for every person calling Khan a Paki there are twenty who start crying about it. Some people don't like Paki's, some people don't like Jocks (a term that is often meant to be derisory about the Scottish,) some don't like blacks etc. Deal with it. Don't let it ruin your life crying about it.
I don't care if Khan is Paki, Mexican, white, Chinese or any other race/ethnicity/religion. He's a no-chinned fraud who is the latest overhyped export from the UK. The latest in a long line that included Herbie Hide, A-Farce Harrison, Duddy, Danny Williams and many, many others. The next up on the list is David Haye (as a HW). Khan is marketed as the UK/Paki version of ODLH or something, and people correctly feel he has been wildly over-promoted corresponding to his abilities, particularly his chin. It's not racism, it's more like a reaction to 'fraud-ism.' All the people who defend Khan based on these grounds are like those who say if you don't like Floyd you're a racist. Or, maybe, people don't like PBF because he's a d*ck? Is anybody that dislikes Calzaghe a racist? Gimme a break.
im british pakistani, we all look upto him and is very popular amongst us, the pakistanis who dont like him are only jealous of his success or because he tries too hard to be 'british' and never speaks of his roots. hes considered an uncle tom and a sellout to some people.
after 9/11 and 7/7 things really got bad for us pakistanis, nas got out at the right time otherwise he wud have faced worser comments because of his openes of his religion
amir has the biggest racist fanbase in the UK. anyone who's been to one of his fights will most likely have heard the pakistani fanbase in attendance bragging about how their muslim brother just beat up another white scumbag etc.
Thats interesting, thanks for the input. Would you say that despite trying to be "british", he still suffers more from racism than say, the average top 10 white british boxer?
some balls his fans have especially considering that their hero is a Glass Jawed fraud who is going nowhere in the sport of Boxing because he can't even take a jab without doing the chicken dance.
:deal Nobody should feel too bad for Khan getting abit of mild booing when you consider the antics of the people who turn up at his fights. They're like the italian football ultra's. Gang up on easy targets. They are despised rather than feared. atsch
AMir knows what he's up against, and what he is gettin into. He's dealt with it all his life. Nothing new yo!!
Now that is interesting. It turns out that usually the ones who cry 'racist!' the loudest are in fact the real racists.
It's not that I don't like him. But I don't like the whole David Beckham effect that has accompanied him since he won that medal in the Olympic Games, largely propagated by the beeb and the redtops, giving him far too much exposure for someone so young. He was a multi-millionaire through commercial endorsements before he was a pro. It's not that he's exactly humble or that he's arrogant but that he's not his own man because of all this hype and bull****. He does lots of community and charity work, which is laudable, but it comes across as PR for the star machine. I'm always going to support the underdog, but because they feed him punchbags, it's never Amir!
