Khan-hater

I agree 100%, I wasnt keen myself and when he got laid out I was like 'told you so' to everyone but the way hes turned his career around has made me a fan.

 

You've only proven that you're thick as sh1t!
His weak punch resistance might have nothing to do with bone density.

Also just because his chin is weak it doesn't necessary mean that ppl of the same race tend to have a weak chin.

 

I'm beginning to understand why some people don't like Khan. Some of you mentioned that it's because he's overexposed in the media as some great star when in fact he hasn't fought the best opposition yet. This may be due to Khan's success in the Olympics as one of you said. I compare this phenomenon to some of the music stars that came out of the 1990's. Many of the music stars in the 1990's were becoming popular not because they were more talented or had great voices, it's because they were promoted better compared to previous generations of music stars. I didn't understand this at first, and I opposed it. But as time passed on, I realized that what had improved was how promoters market their stars and products so much so that they can take a less talented singer or group, and bring them to higher heights of fame and fortune than those before that were actually more talented and had to go through a tougher and harder route for success. It seemed unfair, but it's actually more smarter! The bottom line is that music stars or boxers are just being promoted better and more effectively, and really that's the way it should be. Whether it's the music industry or the boxing industry, the goal is economic growth.

 

You seemed to be going one way, and then just switched at the end.

How could it be better, for people to be less talented and because of good promotion have the same success?

The old system was tougher for the stars, because they had to grind their way through. Only the best could rise to stardom.

Maybe Khan is more talented and would have rose, but we have no way of knowing it. If he had cleaned out his division at British and European level we would have known.

Plus working you're way to the top, would not only make you more liked, but would make you a better boxer. Having things handed to you, makes you lose the hunger.

 

A lot of people are trying to say the race issue is a cop out but I don't think it is.

Khan isn't brash or offensive but I know a lot of people, primarily white men who despise him. For the most part they are casual fans and don't know enough to criticise his boxing credentials but they hate him.

 

People hate him because he's an arrogant ****ing twat.

I like him as a boxer though, in 3 years he could be special

 

Good post:good

 

Don't feed this troll. Post up a link documenting your fact or stfu!

What happened to your last username since you apparently joined last month, banned or lose a bet?

 

please enough of this racism bollocks, it's insulting.
and what exactly is it that he has done that is so impressive since the presscot loss. erm he's beaten oison ***an (****ing bum), somehow didn't get a no contest against a shot to pieces barrera who was fighting way above his peak weight. oh and since then he ducked all the lightweight champs, to go on to instead fight arguably the weakest champion (of any weight) at that time. and then he fought a clearly overmatched bum (**** knows how he got to be WBA mandatory). but i can't blame khan for the salita fight, because that's the WBA's fault.

 

You dont half talk some bollocks!!!!

 

I dont see how Khan hate is race related.

Its more the fact that there was a lot of hype before
the Prescott fight and Khan was found to be rather chinny.

Since that loss Khan has cherry picked his way into some
more hype and avoided fighters that could rock him.

Cant knock Amirs skills though, ill give him that much.

 

Spot on. Hamed was not hated at all, people loved him. He NEVER got booed throughout his rise in Britain and was cheered to the rafters in every stadium he went to, including in places like Newcastle where about 98% of the crowd was white.

He got booed in his last ever fight for a boring and disinterested performance.

Nigel Benn was one of the most popular fighters in Britain and far more loved than Joe Calzaghe.

Audley Harrison was cheered on his first couple of pro fights, then mouthed off about being above British level, started putting in boring, lazy showings and started getting booed.
Degale was booed in his first fight, because he was known from the Olympics, was being hyped and Warren is disliked and his performance was crap.

David Haye gets big support, Tyson Fury is rapidly becoming disliked and mocked. Race is an issue for a very small number of idiots, and those idiots tend to make a lot of noise on places like Youtube and give the impression that it is a bigger factor than it really is.

 

he is a Pakistani I think and you know no matter the **** they say about Eubank and the like they hate minorites in England total class system and yea you can be a novelty or a token but for the rabid love you have to be white drink beer and throw darts. Give a **** what the limeys get on here and say its all bull**** a racist little place it is and always has been.

 

A less talented and committed boxer if promoted very well will have more fame and fortune than a more talented and more committed boxer who is promoted worse. But if the more talented and committed boxer is promoted just as well as the less talented and less committed boxer that was promoted very well, then he/she will have more fame and fortune compared to the latter, and also have more fame and fortune compared to when he/she was promoted worse.

I agree that having things handed to you too much makes you lose the hunger, but a boxer can be promoted very well and put on a fast track for success without having to lose their hunger. It's like saying we should not drive to work, but rather walk to work, because it's harder that way, and you would value your time more. It's like saying that only a poor person can have the hunger or drive for success, and a person who was born rich cannot have that same hunger or drive for success. The rich person can have that same hunger or drive for success, he/she just has an advantage over the poor person. Of course, the rich person doesn't have the natural environment of poverty to spur him/her on.
