I know it seems strange and utterly ridiculous to believe but I have heard a rumour that is not going to please Frank Warren and it also may shock some of you folk on ESB. Boxing existed before Amir Khan. Some may tell you it first appeared when a young man of the people fought an guy by the name of Kostya. But it even pre dates that. Now you do not have to beleive me when I tell you boxing began before Amir Khan won the Olympics by coming second, but that does not I am wrong and Fwank is right. You will have to decide that on your own.
Did any of you see the ITV advert for this weekends fight? Went something like "Muhammad Ali achieved his dream, can Khan?". Utterly ridiculous. So going back to the original question it would appear ITV do have some recollection of boxing before Khan but it must be a little hazy for them.
I can't wait to see him get knocked out. He's the most overhyped boxer I've ever known in the UK. I was jumping around my living room like a crazed lunatic when Limond put him down. He may be a nice guy but I'm pissed off with all the hype when it's totally unjust.
I did this when Sanders done Klitschko. At least Hatton had to put in some hard graft before he started getting hyped. We've had this kid rammed down our throat from the start.
I cannot wait to see Amir Khan lose. A-mere-****. And a chinny one at that methinks. Unfortunatly I do believe he can win an alpha title in this rather confused division.
It isn't Khan's fault though. Asian lad does well at Olympics where we had no other fighters at a time when there's negative press for British muslims.......mainstream media decide to make him a positive figure for asians and he gets a contract on a terrestial TV channel at prime time....of course he's going to get hype, he can't help that.
Yup just like we cant help wanting to see him fail because it's the best way for us to see Warren upset. He's banking on Khan being his next golden goose after Calzaghe retires. Plus Khan could help keeping his dumb mouth shut from time to time.
It seems fishface is upset at the moment. He's got a bee in his bonnet because Thaxton dared suggest that his fight with Romanov is tougher and more significant than Khan's fight this weekend. Looks like FW is upset that the ITV Amir Khan Super Special Fight Night has been trumped by some small hall fight on Sky the night before. Hee hee!
to ITV1 dont wet yourself.. graham earl was supposed to be the best lightweight in britain...... hes had 16 fights won the commonwealth and beat "the best lightweight in britain" he should be a world champion before his 20th fight.. why you gettin so loud about it??? over matched competition, go and look at any decent fighters record at there 16th fight
yea if you say so..... loosers like kristjansen!!!!!!! he might be a looser but hes the WBO eliminator so it dont really matter, if he wants a WBO shot then he needs to get up the rankings dont he?
I would love to see Thaxton pull this one off. Warren & Khan will be hoping he loses. Where have you read about Warren being upset because I hadn't heard anything? Seems Warren won't be happen until he has the monopoly over British boxing.
It is on the Setanta website, but has been pasted onto the "Thaxton v Romanov" thread. He seems quite bitter.
