  • People should really stop using Amir Khans age as an excuse...

    Seriously its getting annoying, "people keep forgetting hes 21 years old...", "hes only 21 yrs old he needs a chance to improve, did ricky hatton fight good competition at 21 years old?"

    Firstly Amir Khan is on sky box office where people must pay to watch him fight, whether hes 21 or not is not the point, he should be satisfying the viewers not fighting bums who are just there for a pay cheque. Secondly Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe at 21 yrs old weren't even on sky sports, never mind sky box office. (it took joe 20 fights to get reconized).

    I admit he looked impressive fighting a guy who just came there to collect a cheque. Into he fights his demons against Bredes Prescott he hasn't got a leg to stand on, if he beats Bredes and then starts winning at least one world title. (vacant included) i'll start paying to watch him.... but guys stop using Amirs age as an excuse as I just proved that age shouldn't mean anything if you're on sky box office. To make matters worst, Mike Tyson was the most feared man in boxing at 20 and Naseem Hamed was the youngest brit to win a world title.

    Blame Frank Warren not Khan, thats the 1st thing, 2ndly the age thing the boy is still growing.

    The problem is, since the Olympics he has been pushed down our throats and people are getting sick and tired of him, being this big name boxer due to hype but in reality he is still an up & commer who is still learning

      yeah Warren is to blame in the sense he is marketting him based on him a household name not necessarily a great fighter.

      Khan himself always makes the right noises.

      He said he wanted Prescott?

      They should make that fight. With a full camp under Roach and a better gameplan. A win would really light a fire under his career.

      With a good card. Macca vs Banks, Mitchell vs a world ranked opponent.

      That is worth 15 pounds man.

      I think that's the way it's going to go. With Amir fight consistantly at big London venues it makes sense. Of course he could get a stream of modest opponents hopefully Freddie Roach says '**** that'

      Frank is unlikeable but he is no mug.

        All because he won a medal at the Olympics and as usual the British media came all over his name.

        The British media sicken me. The next time there's a world cup we'll have to listen to them continue to talk about 1966.

            I think your gettin mixed up with the british media and the english media. Outwith England the rest of the uk dont really enjoy hearing abouy 66, no what i mean? Although it makes it all the more special when they get dumped out.

              Give him more time, and several bouts to redeem himself.

                  ****ing hell not his fault he lost to prescott. if he had fough prescott in his prime it would have been the opposite result. prescott was just picking on the all time great Khan in his old age when he should be retired after cementing his legacy over beating the current p4p Gomez... lol
