    He's been like the Uk version of Wilder after all his losses. Remember the 'man in the hat' thing :lol:

    Yeah the Peterson fight was bent as all hell - that said no i don't think he's ever said the better man won - few fighters do.
    Then you get the likes of Zab saying he got KO'd by a low blow that was perfectly legit. No one likes loosing and boxers least of all.

    I've never thought of Khan as a particularly bad sore loser or excuse maker. He gave Alvarez plenty of credit recently in an interview.

    The same old guy who keeps starting threads to criticize Brit-Asian boxers.
    Comes around often since his local NF closed down.

    Khan took the Prescott defeat on the chin along with the Danny Garcia and Canelo defeats.

    There was clear evidence of corruption in the Peterson loss and he did not want to know against Crawford when it became hot in the ring.

    The OP has went from Callum Smith's number one fan to an Amir Khan hater in one day.

    Why do people act like only a select few fighters make excuses for losses?

    It's very rare they don't. Even the greatest in history make excuses for losses. Some may be true, some not.

    Boxing is about pride and ego, successful fighters don't like to accept they have been defeated. It's Warrior mentality.

    Never forget the way Paul Butler reacted to his KO loss to Tete. No excuses at all. Proper man.

    I seem to remember Khan making a lot of excuses for his losses but then most fighters do make excuses.

    Very rare indeed.

    We say a Proper Man accepts defeat, but in reality most of the Gladiators we watch don't.

    So are they not real men?
