Is Khan Hated By The UK Because His Family Are From Pakistan??

Calzaghe and Hatton achieved way more in their careers than Hamed and Khan. As for Lewis...I dont even consider him a product of Britain. His parents are jamaican, he grew up and learned to box in Canada where he represented them in the olympics. I accept him as a "British" fighter...but I cant actually look at him as a fighter that excelled due to this country at all. btw what great white fighters came from Holland? He is British, but its true he is the product of Candian Boxing.

its funny how if your white and english and you dont like khan your a racist yet if i went and emergrated to pakistan and became a boxer do you think they would support me ??? would they **** there as racist as anyone pakistani people so can we stop with this england is such a racist place because its bollocks. no more racist then anywhere else infact our government is proberbly the least racist. khan just get overhyped all the time plus he dont help himself by saying michael gomez was world class. i supported him at the olympics but not a fan anymore OVERRATED. Khan didnt emigrate over to the UK...he was born and raised here. FACT: All white boxers from the UK have sucked. The really talented ones were never white. Naz, Lewis, Khan. These are the ones with exceptional skills. Calzaghe and Hatton were "the great white hope" boxers. Nobody takes them seious. Calzaghe and Hatton achieved way more in their careers than Hamed and Khan. As for Lewis...I dont even consider him a product of Britain. His parents are jamaican, he grew up and learned to box in Canada where he represented them in the olympics.

A friend on mine used to go to a Boxing academy in Durham and he said he found Khan to be arrogant the first time he met him, that guy im talking about is very placid to, that said this was when Khan was a young professional so...

well doh !! They can't have it that the most talented boxer of their country right now, is a Pakistani. In my opinion next to Naseem Hamed, Amir Khan is the most talented boxer Britain has ever produced. Lewis didn't really had exceptional talent he was just able to win a lot of fights. WTF? :twak:

Khan actually isnt hated by the UK. He's the poster boy of boxing, all the kids buy the reebok gloves he uses and he's a role model He is just really hated by the UK boxing community. I think the hatred he gets is disgraceful. He is a national hero winning a silver medal at the olympics at just 17 and has done a lot for improving the image of British muslims in the UK. And most of all he's just a nice guy. I voted "yes" because your average beer guzzling Hatton-loving Brit, although doesnt think so, probably dislikes him because of his pakistan heritage or his religion. But then there are also some boxing fans that just think he's a hype job and want to see him get KO'd again. Being under Frank Warren doesnt help either.

I knew alot of people hated him the UK, but when i went the Khan - Barrera fight i was surprised by the bad reception he got. I like him and support his career, i dont know the reason others seem to dislike him, but im sure there is a few people out there who hate him just because of his ethical background. Its a shame but im sure therse people who think like that in almost every country.

i dont like admitting it,but its true

The only reason he is hated is because he is a bit of a twat. Thats all. Race, skin clolour or ethnicity have nothing to do with it.

He is hated because he got massive hype, then got KTFO, then the guy who knocked him the **** out is nowhere and he gets a ****ing title shot within the next couple times out. how the f**k would you nkow? are you british? do you come from the UK? no? then piss off

there's a very good possibility that this is the case. I dunno why khan would come to the USA though... lots of racists here too... as the boondocks would say... he's of terrorist descent.

only the north of england is racist. full of poor council estate chavs who blame everyone else for there lazyness. its these same people who are jealous of Khan and make racist remarks to him and his family. its no coincidant the bnp are popular up in the north. Stop blaming the north, have you seen the most recent panorama on BBC1? 2 asian reporters go undercover as a immigrant couple in a Bristol (SOUTH) council estate and the amount of abuse they get is unreal. My point is, its not just the North that has racists, the south does too. Also to whoever said that Britain isnt a racist country anymore is deluded. Lastly if Khan was white then he would definately be less hated no doubt about it

its funny how if your white and english and you dont like khan your a racist yet if i went and emergrated to pakistan and became a boxer do you think they would support me ??? would they **** there as racist as anyone pakistani people so can we stop with this england is such a racist place because its bollocks. no more racist then anywhere else infact our government is proberbly the least racist. khan just get overhyped all the time plus he dont help himself by saying michael gomez was world class. i supported him at the olympics but not a fan anymore OVERRATED.

he was popular till he got knocked the **** out. i dont like he coz every asian in britain thinks he's the second coming of allah and talk about him like he's 56-0 with 10 world titles.

I'm referring more to the people who keep crying about how everyone up North is racist and the South isn't. Khan is going through? Exaggeration much? You make it sound like he's living in hell. Do you read The Sun? :haha: No i dont read the sun but its easy for people to understand someone else if you take a munite to put yourself in there shoes, Who said anything about him living in hell?? but you questioning why he has an english flag drapping over his shoulders give me a different ideal though. All i know his Khan saying he was going through stuff that we all know happen here isnt playing the race card.

I hope u also hated every other young confident fighter who is up and coming. Most are cocky and talk about becoming champion. Do u refer to black people as niggers? U sound just as dumb and racist as ur friend. why do you stink of ethnic food aswell ? you just sound bitter.

It's sad that people have to come up with reasons to do with his race, rather than the fact he's on PPV fighting nobodies. Claiming to be the next big thing, then Prescott finishes him in 56 seconds. The British mentality is when you act like the next big thing and you get sparked out in 56 seconds, you never live it down. Do you think people really pay money to boo Amir Khan? I didn't hear any boos when he fought Kotelnik or Barrera. This is what pisses me off about certain coloured people, they play the race card at every opportunity for a bit of sympathy. Is Khan hated by the UK? If Khan was hated, he'd have his house vandalized every week, his family would live in fear. Do they? Of course not. The main reason Khan is moving to America is the fact he trains there. http://amirkhanboxer.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/khang2503_468x6871.jpg Do you think if he was that hated by the UK he'd drape a flag over himself? :lol1: You're very very ignorant and your post here shows it, Not everyone that complain about Khan going through racial abuse his "Coloured" or playing the race card... We have white people like me who can understand what Khan is going through and voice their opinion. People here trying to downplay this are ignorant in their own right.

i dont like him because of his big ass ears. i hate tht s^&t.

Oh yes. I don't care what people say about it - his race is definitely a factor with regards to the hate (although probably not so much on here, but offline in general; the haters on here just spout that "hypejob" crap endlessly like moronic drones). I'm still going to Newcastle to see the match live, though. :happy1:

What a stupid thread.

I'm sure there's an element but on the whole I don't think so. I also think this "hate" he recieves is so overstated around here. His fans outnumber his "haters" like 100 to 1
