Khan's silver or Degale's gold, which was better?

Degale's gold is better. Khan may have done well, but he ended up coming second in a boxing match, silver is a consolation prize. Olympic gold is the absolute pinnacle of success for an amateur boxer.

Kindelan may have been a legend, but he was a faded legend. Khan may have been younger, but that doesn't make up the gap between silver and gold.

 

khan faced a much much tougher final to try and win gold. Kindelan may not have been at his absolute peak, but he's still one of the greatest ever cuban boxers, and given the fact that khan was only 17 at the time, while degale had plenty of amateur experience, i'd rank khans achievement as better. or at least on par.

 

After 18 fights there isnt many if any fighters who have 50/50 fights. Khan has flaws agreed, he should fight Javier Jauregui next, the guy who Peterson fought in his 28 pro fight, if khan was fighting fighters like this now nevermind his 28th pro fight he would still be getting slated.

 

Olympic champion or runner up. Enough said.

 

DeGale. I wasn't expecting anything from him, and he got gold. Gold, not silver.

 

Probably had his head stuck up his arse at that age and going by the **** he was mouthing last week his head is still up his arse.

Khans achievement was far greater than Degale's. Olympic golds do not always mean much, even Audley has one.

What does him being the only Brit to qualify mean? Does that somehow reflect on his individual talent?

I thought Khan could pinch a medal, whereas Groves looked a better prospect for a medal than DeGale. I couldn't see anything for him, wouldn't have been surprised if he went out in the 2nd round

He got gold, not silver, and he did so by beating very good competition.

All your horse**** about Khan's pro "achievements" are bollocks too, its irrelevant and stinks of huggery since he's done nothing.

 

Although i dont like him, Khans!

 

I don't think you like either do you?
