hey why'd the brits boo amir khan ?

[-Lowkey-]

its not racist at all he got booed because hes a ****y **** with a glass jaw nothing more nothing less

I don't like him because he keeps talking about being a world class fighter without showing world class skills, is always fighting small guys, refused to fight the top 3 LW in the country and skipped the entire British title level to fight guy's that those three would pummel.

We love our british title, the Longsdale belt has a long and glorious history, it's important too us and khan has basicly **** on it because he knew that Murray would be to high a risk fight, he should have Manned up and fought Murray and got the british boxing public's respect.

Instead he fought Prescott and got KTFO and everyone went "This guy would last 2 rounds with Murray", two fights later he's in a title eliminator with a 35 year old super bantamweight in his first fight at LW and he's talking about being better than Naz (who would have unified the titles if the WBC hadn't stripped his opponent, was a world champion for 5 years an who's one loss was to a prime ATG not some unknown ranked outside the top 20 by anyone.) so the Boo'd his ass and rightly so.

Look at the flack Hatton still gets for not fighting Witter, yet Hatton fought all three top LWW's (Witter was ranked 5th).

He has a chance to redeam himself, he's fighting a genuine world level LWW, if he wins he can get my respect back, because he's finally fighting someone his own size for a start.

Did you hate Hatton for fighting smaller guys and ducking his main british rival in Witter before he fought Kosta tsyzu??? And please dont respond with the usual "Witter can sell is mum's front room"...........or the classic hatton fanatic reply of " A man and his dog".......Honest answer from you.

because he's gray

it's simple 'hype:actually backing up the hype' ratio

he is being overrated, and that grinds a lot of people's gears

[smellmycheese]

His heads way too big. Plus he's the like the ultimate little Pakistani flash poseur boy, out for the white woman until daddy has him married off to some village ****** slave.

Nice one mate, people like you serve to remind us of the human capacity for being a total pea-brained tw*t.

Thank You!!!!!

and the audacity to trash on people, and then ask them to fight you is just ridiculous....and the only people who bring up the racial issue, is amir kahn fans.....little hypocritical if you ask me.

[Tuggers1986]

Most asians were booing him when he fought Barrera at the MEN in Manchester. That shocked me.

Hype doesnt come into it at all, We the british boxing fan never hyped him we knew he would get KO by the first puncher he fought and his promoter Frank warren knew it.

He had the media all over him but that isnt what you call boxing hype.

well yeah it is... the media shoving him down our throats and proclaiming him to be the best thing to happen to British boxing since sliced bread is very irksome

and you are in, as far as i can tell, the minority of his fans, in being that you actually have a genuine interest in the sport as i gather by you being here and posting regularly. most khan fans i've encountered aren't so measured

and what about the fact that he got knocked the **** out by the only real lightweight he ever fought in about 3.294 seconds (who happens to be a complete unknown)? and yet is still heralded britain's greatest talent and is still headlining pay per views?

and on a personal note i don't find his character very agreeable. he seems arrogant but not in a funny, ****y way (like a Mayweather or Tarver) and he's a bit dim and uninteresting.
