You are right, of course...it's called a publicity stunt. I am glad you joined the forum! Remember, this is a boxing forum, though...not a slagging-boxers-off forum.:good
learn how to spell oldbie btw I,m sure damn is more then capable of replying for himself, or do you wank for him too:O) been online since windows 3.1, and I could verbally own you any day of the week...if i was bothered enough..but I,m not on these forums to chat bigtime chit...I,ll leave that to you youngsters:good
lol, did i youch a raw nerve? Sorry m8, it,s just imo when people bring out the newbie card it,s usually just a copout. back on topic: I think Khan overall has been a massive positive influence on youngsters, I think in years to come we may see the next gen of boxers say "they got into boxing coz they saw Khan at the olympics etc" Not sure about this programme, have yet to watch it, so don,t want to make a pre-judgement!
Yes, you hit a raw nerve...it does **** me off when a newbie acts as if they have a relationship with established posters and make personal comments about them as if they had known them for months/ years...even if a comment made by someone strikes you in a certain way, you have no way of knowing whether it's in character or made in jest, unless you've read many posts by that poster, and know the context in which they were made...or, a newbie has no way of knowing that...see what I mean?
I watched the show and even though I thought the routines were a bit formulaic and overdramatic, Amir came across well and genuine, and he clearly had those boys' best at heart! It is a good thing to have done this for these boys, I thought.:good
without wishing to be disney formulaic, amir khan doesnt have to be a champion in the ring, cos hs seems like a champion out of it....remember, this kid is 19....what were you like at 19...i was a ****in nightmare......good job khan, y'all may say publicity stunt, but really, does khan HAVE to do this sort of **** for publicity....i think he believs in this and hope he makes a difference to at least one of the lads...remember, an inch in the right direction is better than a step in the wrong one....
Well, having seen it, I thought Amir came across well (and family). The lad from Devon seemed to have serious issues though that I do not for a minute think boxing could sort out. He needed professional physchotherapy. I hope this puts to bed some of the Arrogant and Fraud claims constantly spat out with vitriol against Khan becasue he has the temerity to think he will be a world champion (unless of course he ruins it in the next two parts) Regardless of whether he achieves this or not, he has been a positive influence on the sport (especially amateur boxing) and I wish him the best of luck. (needs to work on his defence though :hey )
