    I agree Khan was stupid to do that and mainly that's his own fault, but the Coach has some responsibility in this too, its whole set up of wild card don't suit Khan, the style of fighting don't suit Khan.

    I just glad he has moved away, maybe Hunter can prolong his career, taking beating after beating is not good for your health.

    He didn't mean it as an attack at roach's illness he meant it as other guys didn't have the ability to think of things quickly and give clear instructions. This videos getting blown well out of proportion

    And while where at it im not surprised he left roach did none of you see the build up to the garcia fight on sky. Where roach wasn't there and he left some midget and rubien incharge of a sparring session. Roach is a great trainer but if hes not putting in the time he can't teach **** all and if i wasn't amir i wouldn't be happy paying my 10% to someone like that.

    No. That's why you hate him. Why are you speaking for everyone else? The race debate has been done to death so I won't go over it again. Some people are too stupid or too emotional to look at it objectively, but it is what it is.

    People hate him because of his dad? He didn't even blame his Parkinson's. He just said a load of rubbish.

    Racism exists, deal with it.

    Not really. Those fighters knew what the gameplan was before hand. It's not a bad thing for trainers to give little reminders but the fighters shouldn't need to be told every little thing. None of those fighters you listed needed their trainer to tell them when to move in or back off, or which way to circle every 20 seconds.

    Always said Khan was part of the problem. But didnt want to admit it, so threw it all on the vulnerable man. 70-30 Khan in my opinion. Freddie Roach was to be blamed for all of it, but Khan got beat badly before he set up with Roach.

    So it aint all Freddie Roach. Even if Freddie could speak normally during a fight, I dont think Khan listened to him that much anyway. Difference is under Virgil, its either listen or go home, its last chance saloon, make or break for Khan. Khan needs Virgil, Virgil didnt need Khan.

    Virgil wont stand for any ****. He's to old for this ****!

    Its like Cesc Fabregas at Arsenal, he said he didnt learn anything until he went back to Barcelona.

    Freddie Roach = Arsenal
    Virgil Hunter = Barcelona

    Lazarus, serious question mate.

    When it comes to Khan being disliked, what percentage do you think Racism has to do with it?

    I'm genuinely curious at your answer.

    More than a small minority, that some people like to make out.

    I would say that 80% of the people that don't like him in Liverpool! have a issues because he is a Muslim and ****stani/British.

    Heard to many things, seen too many things.

    No Darni, the trainer can only do so much, the responsabillity lies with the fighter to fight to a game plan, Khan cannot do this, its nothing to do with the trainer its the fighter himself wake up man, wake up.

    I dont think racism has anything to do with it, people just dont like the showoff attitude, and many love it when he gets knocked down and loses.

    If you actually watch the Molina fight I didnt see any racism, the Americans appear to love Amir Khan because he always seems to be involved in fun fights.

    AmeriCANS, MexiCANS, DominiCANS, CANadians, Puerto RiCANS.

    They just cant get enough of Amir Khan. Yet most of the UK cant stand him. Its cus its ****stani innit?

    Correction, yep, racism 100% to do with it.

    (EDIT: Why the f*ck is P-akistani getting blocked? ESB IS RACIST)

    Personally I don't give a flying **** what race he is, that has nothing to do with it.

    Naseem Hamed is probably in my top 10 all time favourite fighters.

    I think it's easy to blame racism when in reality he's just a very arrogant egotistical young man.

    But then again i'm not p-a-k-i-stani and I'm assuming Lazarus is and I think Rico is too so i'm sure these guys have a better idea of what growing up mixed race in a mostly white country.

    But yeah, I don't think racism is the root cause, infact I think it's hardly a factor at all.

    Might i just add! His haters who are British! The large majority have a problem because he is Muslim and of ****stani origin.

    I have seen to many things, and heard to many things.

    I can only comment on the things i have witnessed, and the stuff countless people have said to me regarding Amir Khan.

    I have seen racist insults on social networks, i have heard them in person, and i have been told stories.

    I was told stories about when Amir Khan came to Everton, about people who specifically went down to give him and his brother ****.

    So it's purely co-incidental that every boxing fan in the country suddenly turned racist at the same time Khan turned into an arrogant ***** then?

    Make sense.

    Not every Amir Khan hater, i have never made any such statement! But i stated that it was a large majority.

    Which has been influence by my personal experiences within the City of Liverpool, and by witnessing situations on social networks.

    Let me just get a paper and a pen and knock at everyone's door and ask them:

    "Alright mate, do you think Khan is a **** ****, yes or no?" :lol:

    More than a small minority, that's for sure. I read Twitter comments on a regular basis full of racism which disgusts me. Others hate him because of jealousy and not liking to see him succeed, and some just hate him because of the daft comments he makes.
