    Serious question. Any chances that it may have an affect on Khan or am I picking straws still?

    two or three of the pakistani lads at my gym have not sparred for a few sessions because they are ****ed from it.


    but we all know the muslims pic and choose the bits that suit them so he will be eating alright:bart

    Most top line muslim athletes don't adhere to ramadan because it rightly ****s them up.

    Kinda like me with atheism. I do not believe in god but every now and again it comes in handy.


    Nothing helps your chances more than a quick prayer.

    Got to agree that even if Khan says he DID what Ramadan involves, i think behind the curtains he ate and did what was/is necessary for his career.

    I can't see it being an issue. Khan looked good at the weigh in and will be ready to fight.

    no you can't. if you are making it up as you go along maybe. there
    is no hope he's been following it. If he did he'd be even more ripe for a starching.

    They have to do 6 days next month but they can pick any days they like though.

    Boxing to earn £££ doesn't fall into that bracket. I already asked a lad who is a devot muslim about this. If he was doing it to the letter then he'd be fasting. No way is he though

    apparently he fasted last year, only missing the day before the fight and the day of the fight itself.

    i doubt he'll have risked it this year though. strictly speaking he shouldn't be fighting in Ramadan fullstop, but i guess you have to stick to available dates

    Or he could just have an awful chin and no defence.
