Amir Khan Interview Shutdown during Steroid Questioning [STRANGE VIDEO]

For those of you who have expressed concern and worry about Muhammad over the last couple days, it is much appreciated by the Muhammad Ali Center. The following statement, released on Friday, will hopefully provide you relief. "While Muhammad Ali was treated for dehydration on November 19, he is currently at home, well, happy and carrying on with his daily routine. Early reports were blown out of proportion."

 

Do you agree with the referee taking two points from Khan?

Hatton: Maybe yes and maybe no. As much as Amir is a real good friend of mine, I have to say that the best man won. You have to admire Amir Khan for traveling to the United States to fight in Peterson's backyard but it backfired.

But Amir will come back, he's come back before. He came back after Breidis Prescott. He doesn't have a lot of miles on him.

Interviewer: There has been a lot of negative press in the UK, criticizing Amir's decision to fight Peterson in his hometown without the comfort of a neutral referee or neutral judges.

Hatton: That's the team's decision. It's hard enough coming over to America and fighting Peterson. But to do it in his backyard. I admire Amir for doing it because I would fight anyone and I didn't care where it was. Boxers do that, it's up to the team to make those decisions [on where the fight takes place]. Sometimes you have to take the fighter's arm. A fighter will fight anywhere. When I was a fighter, I wanted to fight Kostya Tszyu three years before I fought him, but if I would have fought him three years before I fought him he would have killed me.

Maloney: What I don't understand in that situation, because I used to come here with [Lennox] Lewis, and we always insisted on netural judges.

Hatton: I don't blame the referee. He came to America, to his backyard. The officials are from his backyard. The referee is from his backyard. That's not Amir's fault, it's the team's fault.

Maloney: They should have gone to purse bids. Khan doesn't have one boxing person on his team. That's the problem. You need at least one experienced boxing person on your team. I had a great teacher. I had Dan Duva.

Hatton: You can't learn this game in five minutes. It takes years to learn it. When I became a promoter and I fought in Manchester stadium, I worked with Frank because I knew that I needed a little bit of help. You need to walk before you can run. I just think bad decisions all the way - from the officials, to the venue.

Interviewer: Do you believe there was too much focus on Amir fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May?

Hatton: That should be more incentive to beat the fighter in front of you. I don't see anything wrong with it. I always used that [a bigger name] as my incentive. I just think it wasn't his night. But to fight him in Washington, in his backyard, I don't think it was the best move to be honest with you.

Ref Joe Cooper should be ashamed of himself. Peterson put on a good fight, but Khan won this one.

Amir Khan's camp have been warned that they will have to come up with a decent offer to secure a rematch with Lamont Peterson.

Peterson claimed a controversial points win over Khan on Saturday, after which the Brit cried foul. Peterson said in the immediate aftermath of the fight that he would be prepared to hand Khan a shot at regaining the WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles.

However, the original contract did not contain a rematch clause and Peterson's people have insisted their man has other irons in the fire.

"A rematch has to make business sense," Peterson's manager Barry Hunter said. "Don't forget WBO champion Timothy Bradley is out there, too. The good thing is we do have options."

An offer is on the table, as Khan's American promoter Richard Schaefer said: "I made them an offer. Barry said he would be discussing it with Lamont and get back to me."

Talk has suggested a date of May 19 at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles has been pencilled in if an agreement can be found.
