    Khan actually isn't smart enough to do that, in my opinion. He's known for saying things in the moment, and not giving much thought to the consequences of his words. He's a bit dense like that.

    What he's saying there, he genuinely believes is the truth.

    Printed media, not really. Boxing's not a mainstream sport here.

    Nevermind Khan. Look at these poll results. The people are speaking. Wow.

    Boxing knowledge must actually be greater in the United States of America. :lol:

    Judging by the people I've conversed with on here, I'd have to disagree.

    Bar the over-patriotism, the best posters on ESB are made up largely of the Brits, in my opinion.

    Definitely some good posters from the UK. But as far as your reference to barring over-patriotism. :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl The Brits (I hope) are unashamedly nationalist. In all my time here that's been the overwhelming impression, and there just isn't room for any doubt about that. At all. They aren't about Khan, however. I'd say that's the source of Amir's rectal tension and the potential legitimacy of his claim to begin with.

    Let's just pray the Brits don't run Khans ass out of the UK and he comes to the US, we don't want him...

    Khan has already showed a skill level that surpasses anything Hatton ever displayed in his career. Khan also gets a fraction of the support Hatton did from the Brits and 10x the criticism from them.

    Just saying.
