    You are a ****** if you are glad AMIR KHAN LOST!

    I watched the Amir Khan fight in a different country on holiday. Let me tell you the bars EVERYWHERE were packed with Brits watching the Amir Khan fight (granted a lot of them were there for the football but they stuck around to watch Khan fight after).

    Other than Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton I cant tell you a boxer that would draw fans like Amir Khan does in this country. Whether you think Khan is a hype job or not isnt a factor here. What's important is that everyone in this country knows who Amir Khan is and they tune in to watch him fight.

    Nobody can ****ing complain about boxing being a dead sport and then start celebrating when one of the sports up and coming superstars (in this country) gets knocked out.

    Amir Khan is a young exciting fighter who people enjoy watching. Granted people only got interested in him at first due to his olympic accomplishment but thats because BOXING ITSELF DOES NOT CREATE SUPERSTARS ANYMORE. DAVID HAYE BECAME THE GREATEST CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMP OF HIS TIME BUT HE IS NOT A SUPERSTAR.

    This is the problem boxing has. It isnt self-sufficient. It's a dying sport that doesnt have the interest where good fighters will DRAW PUBLIC ATTENTION.

    Therefore when a fighter like Amir Khan who actually keeps people watching this sport gets knocked out, its a huge blow for boxing worldwide.

    I honestly LOL'd when I found out. But in principle I agree with you - we should be cheering for prospects to turn into future mega stars as it ultimately helps our sport.

    Too many haters on this site want to see all the young talents like Khan, Gamboa, etc. lose and get exposed. Often times they are nuthuggers that just fear their favorite fighter could eventially get schooled by one of these young cats.

      I was semi surprised, maybe he still needed more seasoning. It would be good to see him back in the ring, he seems like another talented fighter.

          I think one of the main reasons people found it funny is so many people saw this coming a mile away. Khan is extremely chinny and he was a KO waiting to happen but some people simply tried to deny this factv. I think that's what it is more then anything else.

              Amir Khan is a phenomenol boxer. He just needs to work on his defense.

              Say what you like about his ****ty chin but theres no denying his offense talent.

                  He has talent sure, but he has a long way to go. If anything the Khan experience should show everybody that this is a tough game and there are lots of tough opponents out there. He needs to take it much slower. Putting him in against dangerous guys like that on a regular basis could completely ruin him.
