Why Can't Khan Fight Bums Everytime Like Calzaghe Did?

To be fair Calzaghe raped and brutalised RJJ and Hopkins. I heard that as part of the pre fight agreement Hopkins now has to email Joe every Tuesday with the message "soapy loves you".

I wish people didn't preface or include in their remarks ".....to be honest....." It smacks of insincerity to be honest.......... but I think that it actually is a purely British habit of speech. To me, it always seems as if the guy is saying that I'm not normally truthful, but THIS time I'll be different.......Look I'm not going to lie to you, it isn't my favourite saying in the world either. And to be completely honest, I think you're really on to something here. We need to stamp out all these sayings that could be taken literally and cause confusion. Another one I'm sure you'll agree is a big problems is "The early bird catches the worm". Why would anybody say that? I mean, when I hear this I think to myself, hold on, is this actually a bird writing this? If so, how does it have access to the Internet? And if it's concerned about catching worms, shouldn't it be out in the garden, not typing on a computer?

neither of those 2 fought bums you idiot, especially calzaghe.

Calzaghe never had a fight on Sky PPV and Hatton had very few Mcloskey level opponents on Sky PPV. Sky knew no one wanted to pay for this fight, which I can only assume is why they canceled the PPV. I think regardless to who the fighter is, if Sky think it's going to flop they will cancel it. I mean, they have only breifly promoted it really.

Fuk him.. i like him but him, haye and Hatton are the golden boys While Froch is disrespected and hasn't been on sky in years despite facing one of the hardest last 5-6 fights of a fighter in any countries recent history (let alone Brit!!) Froch is a ledge it's true

What are you talking about? Hatton did not fight bums at home well into his 30s :/ He's only 32 now and hasn't fought for a couple of years... he stepped up, won a few fights in the US then got beaten by two of the greatest fighters in the last couple of decades. He had a solid career, people are too quick to call a fighter a bum on this forum, it's ridiculous. Khan has been hyped up plenty in the UK since his silver medal, lots of exposure early in his career on ITV and the likes

I don't think it was a fight ever worthy of being on PPV, to be honest. And without a strong undercard to help carry it, SKY were probably mindful of the potential backlash a blowout for Khan (ala Salita) could have caused.

its cuz he jumped ship on the UK and moved to the US at the right time..sad the same cant be said with Calslappy and Fatton.

SKY have screwed him tbh.

??? Who has Khan fought? Has he fought any meaningful fighters yet? Not

Calzaghe never fought on Sky ppv as far as I can remember. Dont remember Hatton fighting on PPV till later in his career. Khan vs McCloskey is a much better fight than some of the ones that are usually on Sky PPV (David Haye). I think the undercard was the problem.

I feel bad for Amir Khan getting kicked off Sky Sports for doing the same thing every British fighter built his career on.... taking on overmatched bums. Calzaghe and Hatton built their names on the back of defeating the McCloskeys and Salitas of their era. In fact those guys kept up the bum fighting until well into their 30's without the backlash. Why do the UK powers turn on a young guy like Amir for doing the same thing every other English fighter has done? cause khan left for america early and more is expected from him? or it's cause he's muslim?
