    10,000 isn't any thing special over here. And the ppv figures are far from impressive.

    I can see this happening in the near future.

    I dont think Khan and Warrens "friendship/relationship" is as solid as one would think.

    It is only a matter of time. Khan will be a full blown USA fighter soon. Living here, fighting here and being promoted here. The fans will love him and he wont take the criticism he took in the UK. He will also make more money and get better women.

    It is a no lose situation for him. I wouldnt be surprised if Haye does the exact same thing.

    No offence but you are welcome to him:D

    Plus seriously the criticism he has recieved over here is/was valid. Im not a Khan fan, i thought he was **** but i always rated Kotelnik and Khan won so i cant complain.

    But he really is a gobshite.

    Honestly, I cannot see any reason for this type of comment. The guy is super talented and is getting much better week by week training in the usa. He has lightning hands, great movement and good power in both hands. Throws fast combinations and is well on his way to a p4p ranking. yes, he might get stopped at any time but as his defense improves the chances become less and less much the same as Wlad. I think he is an exciting fighter and i welcome him to the USA.

    Haye, you guys can keep him. Consider Khan is only 23 and has as many fights as david haye. Hays really isnt a fighter, he is a pretender. Khan at least gets in the ring.

    Not saying he isnt exciting but im just not a fan, and im not a fan of Haye either.

    Dont know why, they are good fighters but i will never be a fan.

    Khan is like marmite over here in the UK.

    **** off Haye has done far more then khan he unified at 200 taking on the real champ (i.e not a belt holder) in his own back yard. Move up a division and fought a guy weighing over 100 ilbs more and a foot taller and won in his backyard as well.

    Where did khan beat kotelnic :yep plus kotelnic was the worst titilist in the 140 division.

    You need to learn what your speaking about mate :good

    Maybe it is the racism in the Uk towards the Paki people. maybe Khan was correct and in the USA we dont care about that. I know the UK people hate Paki's.

    Khan is good for boxing. He is in shape, comes to fight and throws a lot of punches. He is exciting in the ring. I can see you flogging a performance like Haye just put on vs Valuev because he didnt even work. Haye also doesnt even fight regularly. But Khan, he is busy and has everything to be a superstar.

    IMO he is by far the best the Uk has to offer and still you turn him away for what reason? You dont even know yourself as you say but it must be because he is paki because it surely isnt because he is a poor boxer.

    I suppose you rank Valuev as a good belt holder, thats just ludicrous. The guy was out boxed by larry donald, john ruiz and chagaev and a 46 yr old Holyfield. These wins are on par (valuev and kotelnik) and Khan is much younger and will by far accomplish more than haye ever will. The WBA is the same title whether at heavy or at lww. Lww is also a much better division. Khan has way more upside and has better skills then Haye.

    Dont play the race card with me mate because it wont work.

    I dont like Amir Khan because when he opens his mouth he is a wanker.

    You talk about racism yet you refer to the guy as a paki:lol:

    Plus he isnt the best the UK has to offer. At the moment we have Froch and Haye who have achieved much more than Khan, and remember im not even a Haye fan, but he is black so maybe its because......:think

    No i was mearly summerising that beating the man in the 200 ilb division in his own backyard then unifying then fighting valuev in germany is far more then amir khan has done :rofl
