Originally posted by AssasinKing View PostLOL let me make this clear....Beckham was NEVER overhyped....he was boo'd because he got a red card in the world cup against argentina and the fans used him as an excuse for losing......
same happened with rooney but difference is rooney will never be hated by england cos hes their hope.
Originally posted by WarriorSoul View PostI'm starting to think UK is just as racist as the US. We have boxers here that represent not only the US, but also their country of origin. You'll see Mexican-American boxers sporting trunks with the Mexican flag colors etc.. and he is accepted as much as any other American athlete.
Khan has potential (and amazing hand speed), I believe that. Once Pac is done, I think he will become Roach's next prodigy.Last edited by Weebler I; 05-01-2009, 06:16 PM.

Originally posted by Chunk View PostI'll be going, and will back Khan. I'd rather see a half empty O2 arena full of real boxing fans, then a full house wanting to see Khan get KTFO again but i get the feeling the latter is more likely to happen.
Khan is on his own. Maybe it's best this way?
Khan is probably my favourite fighter now Joe has gone. I like vulnerable fighters. Him and Haye are mustard in my eyes.

Originally posted by The Weebler II View PostI don't think he was overhyped, I think he was a top player. But if you go to the continent they'll tell you the hype didn't match the substance which is probably true, his popularity would lead you to think he was the best player in the world but he was never quite that good. Sometimes that hype worked against him here as well, I've heard it said, you either love Beckham or hate him and I think that's one of the reasons. Anyway, not the best place for a football discussion.
Back on the subject...i was about 2 say something about khan...n just remmemberd it was a thread about B-Hop!!!
Yes he got boo'd like mad! lol
