Amir Khan won me over with his heart.

Then go and win one then get a huge signing bonus from Warren afterwards. It's hard to qualify for the olympics let alone win, why do you think Amir was our only boxing representative last time?

 

Politics robbed Calzaghe of his place at the olympics, if they he hadn't he would have been well on course for a gold medal.

 

I'll happily go out and claim gold just to win this argument.

 

We shouldn't be worshipping someone just because they were physically developed at a young age and won (if you can call second winning) a silver medal in an event devoid of any talent.


Not only that but boxing one of the few events with weight divisons!

There are 39 boxing medals up for grabs! 39!

Khan has achieved nothing in his career thus far.

 

yeah...he's a millionaire!
Fraudley!

 

Don't talk about weight divisions, how many track events are there and how many medals up for grabs there? It's all just running right why don't the sprinters do the 1500m and vice versa? You're an idiot.

 

Dude, he's winding you up.

 

i always thought khan's style was very well suited to the amateurs. i never thought he looked a big puncher and it's alright throwing lots of punches when ya only doing 4 x 2 minute rds. :bbb

 

Count the running events for example. Even including the laughable steeplechase and hurdles there are less medals than are handed out for boxing.

Not only that but the best elite track athletes are fulltime athletes. Olympic boxers are part timers (or at least a lot of them are).

And that point about sprinters not winning marathons etc... Well the very best athletes might compete in both the 200m and 400m or 5k and 10k.


Lets not be blinded by our love for boxing. A medal in a respected track event is far harder to come by than a boxing medal.

 

I got caught jerking off once, and the person who caught me said I was a **** hair away from winning an Olympic medal in boxing.

 

I don't even know what that means. :blood

 

Yeh, but he's still a crap heavyweight

 

I'm not disrespecting anyone you clown. I'm trying to say winning an olympic medal doesn't give you a head start in winning a pro world championship other than being in the limelight and getting an easier road to that goal.

It doesn't make you a better boxer than anyone else.

Yes - i couldn't have taken the punches from brave Audley, considering he's about 6 stone heavier than me, and i dont box. What a stupid statement to make.

winning an olympic medal does NOT make you a great boxer.
