Respect to Haroon Khan

Haroon never performed to a level that showed himself to be good enough for team GB in the ABA's. I suppose the bigots hate the genuine best GB fighter at his weight......

By the way no one supports the Khans more than me on this forum.

 

No muslim fighters in the Northern Irish squad...****ing racist bigots.

 

Good for him. Is there any boxing on today?

 

This is a kick in the teeth for all the racists who were hoping to rub thier hands with glee if Khan had failed to get a medal, He has proved all his critics wrong and left the English team looking very ordinary and red faced.

Khan will make a much better professional than amatuer, He is defo a brawler not a boxer. I do think that with help from his brothers camp and being at the wildcard he can also become a world champion.

The racists bigots must be glad that Yafai got injured and could not represent England.

 

Was a good win tbf to the lad, I thought Selby would edge the fight as I said the other day and werent far off! Yafai winning Silver in the Euro's along with his olympic experience made him a shoe-in for the spot tehn got injured, until now Haroon has struggled to make the jump from his terrific form in juniors to seniors. Basically he's over-achieved here, dont mean that in a derogatory way its impressive and good luck to him. Needs to gain confidence from this now and push on to really give selection headaches if he stays in the ams

 

Well done to him but I don't see what abuse he has taken?

 

I dont care if the kids yellow,black or pink if hes english he gets my support what happens now with Khan will he revert to wearing the union jack on his shorts ur either are or your not , and again i too havent read nothing on here that you could call bigotism

 

Fair play to him, got his medal. Which was his sole aim. Good luck in the semis.

 

he was beaten in the 1st round of the aba's by blinkhorn from bolton.

before people start saying he should box off with kal yafai, maybe he should prove himself against Gamal yafai 1st, or the smith twins from liverpool. plus when the GB squad was selected paul butler and jazza dickens were still amatuer, so there was no chance khan was gona get on the develoment squad... never mind the podium, and without being on either of these he wouldnt of been up for selction for the commonwealth games

 

Stop being a racist bigot with your common sense and facts....FACTS ARE RACIST!!!!!!

 

**** me and i thought i was clever I havnt got a scooby what ur on about:?

 

Welcome to ESB Jeff.

 

He did well there, tight enough fight, I thought Selby had won it though Haroon got the countback. Fair play though he did well to get this far and he'll definitely come home with a medal for Pakistan.

 

Yafai is simply better then him, I don't see why people bother arguing about it. its not racism he simply wasn't good enough, that's pretty obvious and as fair as possible.
