Chinny and hyped would also describe Haye wouldn't it? you seem to like him though, he wasn't really up against a giant in Valuev either,it is what it is.
Tall Poppy Syndrome. Someone gets too tall you cut them down. Also Khan has been a brat. A few years ago he ran down some old man in his BMW. You'd think he'd have learned a lesson but a few months after that he got caught speeding at 140 mph or whatever. His victim from this knockdown, who had serious injuries, died after a year or two 'a broken man', according to his widow. If Khan was a soccer player, white, black, or whatever you like, some people would think the same thing about him, that he's just spoiled.
Just kidding, it just seemed a bit strange reaching back 20 years to Eddie the Eagle and Steve Davis to make a point about Amir Khan!!
most boxers have done stupid things or stuff that's socially unacceptable.... like wife beating, drug dealing, GBH, fornicating, dog fighting, driving offences.... in my opinion the EXTREME hate dished out towards Khan goes beyond the limit...
I'd rather winners over "triers" but, IMHO, sometimes you do have to acknowledge that some people did their best, just wern't good enough and give them credit for that.
I like the kid, he's young for **** sake, full of guts & brave as they come, his youthful gob has been mistaken for arrogance, any way so ****in what, i've got 100% respect for the kid the way he faced the press after getting wiped out by prescott & going to the states has been the best thing for him in helping him mature & be in a positive atmosphere & away from his family & the rest of the hangers on, he's between a rock & a hard place as he's trying too hard to please everyone & get accepted & Yeh he has been overhyped but that ai'nt Khan's fault that's frankie boy squeezing all the £££££ he can get out of us. Khan's just trying his best but we live in a country that just hates success in any form or manner, i grew up in a generation & time where every **** just wanted to keep you/me down & you dare not be seen to get above your station & in my nievity i'd hoped that had all been binned by now but it's still alive & kickin i see & Khan ai'nt exactly Audley Harrison is he, now that is a thievin ****in fraud & it's about time we stopped treating the oh so brave noble working class gallant loser chappie's as celebs & role models, i.e Bruno/Cooper, these 2 have made a fortune out of it.
I know that no one will ever admit it cause it makes them seem like a fool, but come on folks we all know the truth... its cause of the race issue. England has never (and probably never will) accept non-whites as an integral part of its society. This is especially true of Asians. Khan is the fool for parading around with a Union Jack on his trunks, what a dumb move, you want to represent a country that despises you... F that if its me I go the states and join the crowd.
haha, why cause you cant admit the truth and neither can many of the supposed "boxing fans" on this site... **** your post... why does the British (WHITE) everyman hate Amir Khan? Because he cares about "punch resistance" I don't think so... and I'm not British so I don't give a **** anyways.
