Khan at it again

Oh please. They're equally as **** as each other.

Whatever you may think of it being some sort of 'agenda', your favorite word, it's not. You look way too into it.

Regardless of who he was anyway, the result won't change. This only gives them more grounds than they already have to get a rematch. Is it classy? You could say no. Do they have every right to question who he was? Absolutely, and no one can argue that at all.

 

The elbow was bull**** - terrible deduction, but since it benefited Khan we don't hear the same level of whining.

I didn't used to dislike Khan and felt he got a rough time off of people post-Prescott, but now he'd bought into what his hangers on are saying. He needs to fire everyone - including his dad.

 

You are an idiot. Khan's acting like a punk, which is my issue. I couldn't give a **** if he was honest about it "I want my belts back without fighting for them."

All the "good of boxing" thing is a smokescreen.
That's what this is about.

 

Maidana lost. I really don't know who actually had him winning but I'm pretty damn sure everyone knew Khan won. It was even wider on some unofficial scorecards.

Uhm, intentionally elbowing? A foul is a foul. Just like Khan's were, but the issue Khan is talking about is not the deductions, he just wants answers to who that person was, that's it, nothing more.

 

so whats your point?

Even though its looking possible he was robbed by CORRUPT officials, he should let it go?


coz YOU would definitely do that if you were in his position wouldnt you???

 

Khan's mind changes every time the wind blows.

At first it was the referee, then it was the judges, now it's ''the man in the hat''.

What next?

Not that anyone cares what I think but here's my personal opinion timeline of Amir Khan:

When he won Silver at the Olympics, I wasn't a massive boxing fan but had a little knowledge. Khan's run in Athens, was one of the reasons I got more into boxing actually. He then "won" that rematch against Kindelan and I thought it was kind of funny.

Then when he turned pro, and boxed on ITV to millions, I was still a fan. Around 2006 was when I got into boxing more properly. I start to follow more other than just fights and read and listen to interviews. I hear Amir Khan rubbish British and European champions saying "they need to achieve something before fighting him" while he's getting knocked all over the place against Willie Limond and Michael Gomez :nut

After achieving nothing as a pro, he then bizarrely goes pay per view and promptly gets banjoed against a complete nobody in his first 15 quid fight. After the laughing goes away, you kind of feel a little sorry for him and hope he can rebound.

When the Barrera match was made, you gave him credit for taking a big risk in a potential 50/50 fight. Barrera then gets robbed by an awful head clash and since then Khan's picked up a few paper titles and gone back to being the spoilt kid he was pre-Prescott.

Now he's still that spoilt bratt. He won me over a little the way he survived against Maidana but the crap against another hand picked fighter in Paul McCloskey went back to the very annoying "talk to the champ" Amir Khan.

 

For reasons I've explained already, it looks really UNLIKELY that Khan was robbed at all. His motives are clear: rather than accept a close loss he's trying to get his titles back through politics. End of debate.

He's the one throwing out bull**** reasons and expecting people (like you) to laud him for it. Fine, he thinks he got a raw deal, but he's been shot down TWICE already and GBP and co have cooked up this bollocks to make it a live issue again.

It's all a little sad and, unlike the original competitive, exciting fight, this IS hurting the perception of boxing. And, ironically, it's making Khan less popular.

 

Honest question. Was you one of those guys who said Khan would never fight Maidana and rather vacate his belt than face a puncher?

 

Yeah probably was. What's your point?

 

Laz, they need to prove he had any sort of influence over the outcome. As far as I can tell, he didn't. If he ran away with the cards, holding a magic marker and some tippex, then ok. But he didn't.

Agenda isn't my favourite word but it is absolutely appropriate (more than "biased" or when idiots write it as bias in the wrong context). Khan and his extreme fans have an agenda to defend this as being good for boxing. Anyone without an agenda thinks it's just a lack of class.

Really though, the IBF is better than the other three. The reason? It got caught and prosecuted for corruption. Ever since it has kept its nose clean: enforcing mandatories, stripping fighters who don't fight, etc.

Much better than the WBA with four champions per division or something.

 

Yeah that's the issue he's on about now. Last week it was the deductions. A week before it was that the referee didn't stop Peterson apparently repeatedly headbutting him. What's it gonna be next week?

 

Who here has said hes doing it for the good of boxing? He lost a fight and wants a rematch and is trying to force one. If he just accepts the decision then what? We know Peterson doesnt want the rematch so he will have to be forced into it if possible.

And when the IBF come out and say there should be a rematch because of the controversy will you then **** on them?

 

But they're not making accusations of it having any influence in the first place. They just want to know who he is. That's what I'm saying. So far they've (Team Khan) said absolutely nothing about it affecting the scorecards.

I don't think it's good for Boxing. Quite frankly, I rather we have not known about this, but that doesn't mean I and a lot of others don't want to know who that man is.

I can see where you're coming from in saying that what could this guy have done anyway, but if he shouldn't have been there, and quite clearly seeing him shuffle some **** around and them being asked to move back and then comes forward again, does make you question who this guy was. The WBA and the DC commission have said they have no idea who he is, so that only supports their fuel to want to get to the bottom of who he is. Is it just a load of false hopes that he could have done something? Maybe, but again, it doesn't change the fact that we want to know who he is!

Yeah, they do enforce their **** and keep in lines with their rules, but that doesn't really come in play with this at all. I'm not even sure how they came into this. The IBF have supposedly not commented yet so let's just wait and see.

You need to understand from their perspective as well that they've lot a big fight in Floyd Mayweather and their **** has gone down the line. This probably won't help, but they're not going to strengthen their case in getting a rematch by doing nothing, so why not play the cards you have left instead of quitting altogether?
