lol ... thats brilliant... I was disinterested by the time he got to about bout number 16 and it became clear the Khan management team were unwilling to match him competitively. I was an ardant Khan fan and had supported and defended him against all those who declared he was an accident waiting to happen. If there is one person who isn't a casual fan on here its me and though I hold back a hell of a lot due to my 'situation' I think i've been lucky enough to experience boxing at many different levels. To be honest your post is rather bizarre for a number of reasons not least because you admonish me for been a casual fan when I was actually a fighter. Furthermore If you knew anything about whom my favourite fighters are and whom I find a waste of time to watch you'd realise that padded records are the bane of my boxing interest. Bredis Prescott was meant to be nothing more then further padding for an already inflated record and my interest had massively dwindled long before Khan was exposed. I have nothing agaisnt Khan - I have always wanted him to do well but when they matched him with St Clair then Kristajansen when John Murray, Jon Thaxton and Yuri Romanov were all far more legitimate opponents it was clear to see something was amis- which I clearly stated at the time. Add to that the stories you hear at gym level which I can't really talk about and my stance that the public never recieved a true explanation of the Harrison split and you could say my argument about being more then a casual fan holds a damn site more water then any you can make. Thanks.
big misunderstanding i wasn't calling you a casual fan. i was trying to say thats the reaction of the actual casual fans which is why i was surprised you posted it. sorry i didn't put it across well what i should've said is thats what i expect from a casual fan and not from the well informed and normally rational sir jeff
Sorry my mistake... must be that time of the month again. Thank you Sir Slip... No i'm just bored of SN mis promoting and mismanaging simple.... They don't know how to entertain people. Jim Lampley said of my former opponent Steve Murray that if he had of been in the US he'd have been a multi millionaire what with his big punching, crowd pleasing style. All SN are interested in is making a **** load of meaningless high revenue fights-most of their fighters disappear into a void its happened time and time again and will happen to Khan. And anyone else they sign. I would argue that never have SN taken a fighter to world class intentionally. The closest was Hatton and even then he had to make all kinds of threats before the Tszyu match was made. There happy to deliver C grade fights at A grade price. They have ploughed through more talent then the x-factor judges and what have they got to show for it? Rant over.
Sorry m8 been thinking about your original post and you make a good point. For Amirs die hard fans and perhaps boxing fans in general this comeback represents a very interesting time. I was blinded by my personal lack of interest... Stupid really. Sorry. :good
i dont really care who wins. if he khan wins, then great. if gethin wins, then i wont be totally surprised as gethin could fight. just watch his last two fights. he has enough power to ko khan
