Khan said he'd be superstar if he was white

Khan haven't beaten anyone of note to be considered a superstar. If he can follow the footsteps of Pac, he will become the superstar that he wishes to be.

 

What I'm saying is that people on boxing and general forums (when there are so many of them) give a good inclination into what the general public's appetite is. And yes, you only have to view one of these or any Youtube video with Khan in it to see that it quickly becomes a racial hate-fest.

Like I said, I think "superstar" at this stage of his career is a bit much. Having said that, he captured an Olympic medal at a very young age fielding himself as the only member of an olympic boxing crew (at the time). It's pretty obvious if he went professional he wasn't going to be an unknown.

No, I don't think he's playing the "race card" at all. I think he's just speaking his mind on the issue (for once - though he's obviously being tapered back by his management team). And I happen to agree with him. It's pretty obvious tbh.


Again, not saying legitimate criticism of the kid is unwarranted. But disproportional hate is.

 

The thing is the existence of racism does not limit sporting success at all. America is obviously one of the most racist countries on earth, but when you turn on the television all you see are non-white celebrities - athletes, musicians, talk-show hosts etc etc.

 

khan is full of camel sh_t.

 

Amir Khan is right !! He is carbon copy of Oscar De La Hoya :hey but hes way overhyped, hes made it further than Vicente Escobedo and Jorge Linares, but thats not saying much.
