    Ah Gotcha!!!:patsch

    I think its up to MAB when and on what terms he retires but if he loses to Kahn early then I'd like to see him hang them up. A lot of the time not being able to make the same weight you could in your late 20's is your bodies way of trying to tell you something and that something isn't to go and fight in a higher weight division.....

    I forgot about this little gem. He reckoned he would beat Floyd over four rounds.

    You're been cheering for every single Khan opponent for a while now, jeff...:yep...hater? you?? Never!;)

    P.S. MAB comes from a middle class family. Khan is the rags to riches story, not MAB.:deal

    P.P.S. Go, MAB! If Khan loses, he'll have to start proving himself against proper contenders rather than polishing off past it legends.:good...but if Khan wins against a Barrera that still has a bit in the tank, I will be very pleased for him! :)

    i think you lot are being unfair on khan. is barrera had been put into khans position as a prospect he would have taken it. i dont really find khan arrogant, certainly not copmpared to other fighters.

    my mate contacted khans team to get an interview with him for his disertation, about how boxing can help change bad behaviour in kids, khan personally responded and answered 10 questions by email. not one word answers full on paragraphs. he built a gym in bolton cost him half a million of his own money

    Yep Jeff you got it all wrong, Barrera is very middle class, which is partly reason why Morales hated him. You make me ****ing sick just because he beat your boy.

    Khan is British. I have to be patriotic. If he wins it would be great for British boxing. He'd become known again and get in the papers. Plus Khan might be able to fufil his potential because he does have alot of talent, he just needs to be smarter as a pro.

    He called out PBF over four rounds when he was a mere novice. If that's not arrogance I don't know what is.
     
  11. Let's be fair, these are exceptional circumstances, would Brits necessarily feel the same if Khan was fighting Morales or DLH?

    MAB is loved all over the world, including GB. If MAB was fighting Hatton or Witter, alot of Brits would want to see MAB do well also.

    If Khan wins in style and is gracious, he'll win alot more British fans. Thus far, he's been a bit of a ****.

    Wow middle class, lower class- who gives a duck- he's a legend, something I doubt khan will ever be. I'm not fussed who khans beating he's fighting one of my favourite ever fighters you turd so of course I'm going to be behind my fave fighter.

    i want barrera to win.

    he's been my favourite overseas fighter for ages now.

    i'm not amir hater though.

    he's a decent enough kid.

    just got a dodgy chin and flawed technique that's all. :yep
