    :lol::lol::lol:

    The same American culture that has made him stay in Canada because he might be deemed a terrorist threat?

    The same American culture that is the most insular in the world, often failing to realise there actually is life away from it's shores?

    Barring a few football hooligans and racist Khan fans I'd say the British crowds are as respectful as any!

    :lol:

    Let me guess, it's gauging amazingly hot women's reaction to driving fast in supercars.

    Khan was getting used to a hostile environment, I think, since losing to Prescott.

    I think it'll be much the same for him in NYC. SO, he'll be used to any booing. He won't be nervous because Malignaggi's no real threat.

    Khan faced a hostile reception just before stopping Ortiz in the amateurs

    Mitchell came across quite well when he said that he expects to lose sometime and that keeping the '0' isn't viable if you want to fight top opposition.

    But I've been a Katsidis fan for a while too; hope he pummells Mitchell to a late stoppage in a fight Mitchell can learn from.

    I dont even think its gunna be that hostile. Like someone said, for katsidis however THAT WILL be hostile. US crowds are quite sensible, British fight crowds are shocking.

    Put it this way, its not gunna be like it when paulie fought Cotto in MSG on Peurto Rican day. Besides Khan has been booed rediculed and had dogs abuse before.

    But hes a nervous kid in the ring anyway so i think he will show nerves but not because of the crowd. Is paulie THAT popular even in NYC???

    No US sports crowds are intimidating. Compare the NFL, NBA etc crowds with your typical football crowd in Britain, we are much more hostile and abusive. I like it that way :yep
