Amir has been making his name and fan base here in USA where even the likes of Carl Froch and Joe Calzaghi could not. Both of them were fighting in UK and dreamed of fighting at MGM as the main attraction. But they were unable to as they were not fighting here in USA.
Now Amir has successfully been making his name in USA. Everybody in UK already knows Amir even without any socalled belts. On the other Hand Kell Brook needs Amir as stepping stone to build his name even in UK what to talk of USA.
So why should Amir fight Brook? for $5 million and give a shot to fame to Brook. Not at all, Amir is an established name he can fight anytime he wants to fight Brook.
If Mayweather ends up fighting Pacquiao next then Amir should ask for Bradley and JMM on the undercard. Bradley coming from a loss and recent draw will have his hat lower and might agree to Amir for big bucks. Amir should give Bradley equal amount of money to fight him. Bradley is considered number three at Welterweight behind Mayweather and Pacquiao.
Well lets face it,most of British people loved Hatton despite his lack of boxing skills but only because he is white. If Amir khan was white the same British people would have never booed or hated on him while his picture was displayed on the screen of Froch and Groves fight.
Khan obviously made some mistakes while he was young and upcoming champion but now he is a grown man and accepting his weaknesses and that's the reason he switched to Virgil Hunter. When Amir was young he rightfully felt that majority of his fans were desi people from Pakistan and some Indians so he let it known to the people what he felt. But with passage of time Khan has matured, has married and is a father now. He does not show off with expensive watches or cars anymore which annoyed his followers.
Taliban are no joke, they will try their best to catch Amir. Specially after this statement and going to Taliban's place and announcing his arrival. Even the politicians don't dare to do that.
I do feel that announcing his arrival is somewhat careless because they will be looking for him now. Peshawar is a city where the International flights have been cancelled and Khan wants to go there. That's no joke and must be appreciated if he gets outta there unscratched. lols
I do not know if and how much the non-muslims realise that it is very very dangerous thing that Amir Khan is doing. Amir khan does not walk around with any security or in hide. He and his family could be easily located anywhere in USA or UK, and eliminated by any of the lone wolfs of Alqaeda/ISIS/Terrorists. There could be serious repercussions for Amir's words. Although Amir spoke his mind but the Terrorist firstly hate those muslims who denounce them. Someone like Amir is a real threat to the ideology and existance of Terrorists/Alqaeda/ISIS. ********** I hope non-muslims and muslims appreciate, support and protect Amir's firm stance of this huge issue*********
