Yeah me too I'm actually beginning to like this kid :scaredas: If only coz he has the most substantial hate crowd I've seen of any boxer over the past 5-10 years.
I find this **** funny as well Specially when they have someone like Carl Froch in their avvy, and they're like, "I'm so sick of Khan trash talking ?) all these boxers!" :rofl
Completely agree. Khan was throwing his arms up as Pac does to signify that he hasn't been hurt. I have never seen Khan do this before so it becomes only natural to assume that he was fancing Pac who he has recently trained with. I have no problems with boxers gesturing or showboating because it usually heightens drama and makes for good entertainment value however in this case it's rather obvious to me that Khan was blatently mimicing Pac which came off as corny to me. That's all.
Point taken. Having trained with Pac, he could have learned a few things. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Hey who cares if Khan does it. Pac rubbing off on Khan from training with him can only be a good thing. Is it uncool when B-hop did the Ali wind-up against Tarver and Pavlik? Hell no! Carl Froch is light years more annoying compared to Khan.
I guess that was part of it for me as well. Had Khan been fight Prescott instead and threw his arms up after taking his first big left hook of the fight, then maybe it wouldn't have bothered me as much.
He did to probably thank Manny and give respect to Manny. But more importantly he did to get acceptance from his own British crowd.
It's been a bad week in general for muslims over here, that's probably got more to do with it than anything else. That and the fact that Khan is straight from the Naseem Hamed school of modesty and charm (and mowing down innocent pedestrians)
If you had any level of reading comprehension whatsoever, you would see I said the showboating comes down to the individual performing it, not that it's merely being performed, or the circumstances surrounding it. It's like putting Jagger on stage with Barry Manilow and saying to both of them "Now strut across the stage!" -- you know which one will pull it off successfully and which one will look like a ******. Calzaghe and Khan both Manilow the crowd when they try to pull that **** off.
Without question. Amir Khan himself is the basis for the character Frank Warren created. This kid is a "me, me, me," "I, I, I" brat to the absolute fullest. When you look at the body of what this kid says, and what he really means when he talks about himself, you have an individual that genuinely believes he deserves everything for nothing. He's called himself an "icon" already, FFS. Ring Magazine asked him what he learned from Roger Mayweather and Freddie Roach last year and all Khan talked about was how Roger and Freddie thought he was soo fast, and soo this, and soo that. He can't even have a general chat without sucking his own dick. Amir Khan is diseased with extreme arrogance - subtle genuine tasteless arrogance.
No surprise there that you lumped them together for obvious reasons. Two completely different cases from different people at different stages in their life. I have never liked Hamed. Khan was a teenager and broke traffic rules which almost every teenager and even adults do. The kid was behind a car he never should've been given that he was a new driver.
