Khan's defeat- The elephant in the room

[Jambo boy]

Keysor is getting owned in this thread.

Ok i'll stick up for him.....

... actually no he's a ****.

[Welter_Skelter]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he's not a caucasion male, what with the ****** booty, and keyser smeyer chicken curry name.

Seriously I don't get why people create racial **** storms like this.

Maybe I should report his nation Bashing

"That's alot more meaninful than most of the ****s who are worshipped in this ****** ****ing country have done."

But he will just end up hanging himself like most idioits do anyway..

[Porter's Dad]

Not going to reply to both my points Keyser the defender of racial injustice?

Nope.

It's hard enough getting past that ****ing name without the additional bull****.

I think everyone knew this would happen sometime, it was so obviously going to happen.

I think thats what English people are saying now that he has been knocked out.

Obviously with all the Yanks vs Limeys nonsense around here most Americans will enjoy the loss the same way Limeys enjoy seeing a guy like Jason Litzau laid out (at least by a world champ).

However, I think the hating on Khan by English fans is just a defense machanism because so many English fighters have been getting sparked out that they felt the need to act like this was no big deal and that Khan wasn't a 16-1 favorite..... bet up by English fans who were sure of a victory of course.

Enzo, Rees, Matthews, Hatton, Lockett.. sheesh.

I can see why people love Joe Calzaghe, at least if he loses he wont get KTFO in embarrassing fashion like his countrymen.

I look at it like this:

Racism against ******s is probably the most common form of racism in the western world right now.

Khan is ******.

Khan attracted bizarre levels of hatred throughout his career, with many expressing a desire to see him get KTFO to 'teach him a lesson'. Glee was a common response when this happened.

I think racism is a very plausible explanation, lets not pretend it doesn't exist or is not common.

Of course, that does not mean that you are a racist if you happened not to like Khan.

OK, I'll respond to this one merely to highlight the utter ******ation of the keyser bit

lol I was joking, Geez I'm not Jade Goody ignorant.

I honestly cannot ever remember seeing such an outporing of joy from so many people after a sporting defeat like the one after Khan lost to Prescott.

But why?

I actually made a thread ask this straight after the fight. I mean, people were hyper-ventilating due to the joy and laughter. It just struck me as odd. I couldn't get my head around it....

And then I myself acknowlegded the elephant...

Khan is a young ****** male.

Now, I'm not saying everyone hates him so much because of his race and religion. I myself dislike some sportsment for reasons which probably wouldn't up to scrutiny. I know sometimes it just happens.

But come on, folks. We're talking something like 95% of people who were delighted to see a young man get brutally knocked out in front of his family. That can't be right. I don't just mean people on here, I'm talking everywhere - other boxing forums, non-boxing forums, real life.

Look, I'm one of those people who becomes exasperated when people go for the race card. That whole Floyd/HBO thing was bollocks.

But, IMHO, I cant see any other reason here.

Khan might be a little ****y but which boxer isn't???? In fact, I always construed this attitude more as ambition rather than a loathsome hubris.

See, let's compare him to Naseem Hamed. I used to know people who used to think he was despised because of his race. I disagreed because I thought he was just such a disrespectful prick sometimes (although I do love him now more than I ever did back then) that people thought he was insufferable.

But Khan...he seems like a decent guy. For all his chin/defence problems, I admire his heart to get up and keep going. The kid's got bottle. And he's never been mean and horribly cutting that some boxers can be.

And yet...people despise him to a frightening degree.

What gets me the most are all the ****ing Brits who hate him. These ****s should be thankful that a 17 year old kid had the balls to front up and fight men older and more experienced than him. If it wasn't for Khan, you wouldn't have even had a boxing team in 2004, he was the sole representative...or have you ****ing forgotten that? And do you not think Khan was inspiration in some way to the team of 2008? ****s.

Anyway...

I just find all the Khan hate borderline disturbing. And even though it's a depressing thought, I cannot help but feel that who he is - a young ****** male- is the reason for all the vitriol.

Discuss.

There is a huge difference between being a "little ****y" and pretending to be the second coming of SRR after getting floored by the most feather fisted of feather fisted punchers.

Throw that in with all the English fans claiming he could beat Pacman, Juan Diaz, and Nate Campbell... get the picture?

**** off, no one with any boxing knowledge thought Khan was gonna be a world beater. Most of the ****s you listed aren't English anyway you tart.

Please remember that Keyzer has read everyone single thing ever written and heard every single thing ever said about Khan. NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE said he would beat Pacquiao, Diaz or Campbell.
