Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Concerned About Reputation, Legacy After Drug Ban: 'I Don't Want to Be Remembered for This'

Fighting a roider is safer than fighting a natural boxer.

The context really matters when you say this. If you cloned yourself or anyone else and gave one PED’s and nothing to the other, who would you bet on if they were to fight? People get that PED’s won’t turn you into Ali.

Usually, fights with roiders go the distance and only after the test reveal does the opponent even care.
I can't think of a single natural fighter a roider fubar'd.

As for your hypothetical, hard to say.
Would I know which is the roider ?
Are their resumes similar ?
What are the betting odds ?

If Khan truly did roid up, he is proof roids don't mean shlt

Only immediate family and friends care, to a boxing fan Khan was a B level guy that had a glass jaw.

Khan fought a Kell Brook that has titanium plates and screws on both side of his face, and even with PED's in his body, he was no match for him whatsoever. Kell beat him as if he were a mere child, caught stealing fruit from a Pakistani market

What rep is Khan trying to defend

[Kris Silver]

When they test positive for tiny amounts, such as Jon Jones, it doesn’t mean they were taking a tiny amount. It means they took a **** load during camp, and then screwed up when cleaning out their system. I could juice put on 25 lbs of pure muscle, then cycle off and a month later I’m clean again. Trace amounts of these substances shouldnt be there period. There is the odd case of contamination so it is possible he’s innocent of knowingly taking anabolics. But ignorance is not innocence. An elite athlete should not be taking random contaminated pre-workouts off the shelf.

Yup good points. With Benn the drug in question is hard to get into the system by mistake. There's others they can be ingested in various ways with various things. I'm just saying not enough info has come out as to where this falls on the spectrum.

It's funny you mention Jon Jones. They've recently re aligned the amount they construe a fail. So some of the failed tests would today be okay. Sounds dodgy. But I'm no expert.

The negative aspects are, the denial is almost a default these fighters go into, period. And trainers, people in the team are likely involved or even encouraging they ingest some stuff for an edge. It's that competitive. It's no excuse of couse. But some fighters are naive and aren't given to full picture, don't research, heck some don't know what they are taking.

Khan could have been willing to take the risk knowingly, if he knew it was likely his last fight.

Don't fret Amir, you'll always be poppadom chin to me.

Well I guess it’s settled then. PED’s give no advantage against another fighter who is not using them.

Soon he'll write a book Khan's Legacy

His pride got the best of him, it happens. Kell Brook was his biggest rival and Khan always wanted be recognized as being better than Brook, and I’m sure he couldn’t quite picture himself ever losing to a guy like Brook when Khan always viewed himself as being in the same tier with Mayweather and Pacquiao.

If he still truly believes that, he's more deluded than I thought. He would've gotten decimated by both, in or out of their primes.
