I came across this article on a reputable boxing site. What a shame a fighter like Khan can't get support in his home country. Looks like he'll be fighting stateside now.

WBA super lightweight champion Amir Khan has lashed out at his British detractors. “I can only say that sometimes skin color does make a difference,” stated Khan, who is of Paskistani decent. “I know for a fact if I were a white English fighter maybe I would have been a superstar in Britain, and the world.” He added, “In America they treat me like God!”

America is huge and has over 300 million people. If he thinks we universally like him he obviously hasn't been around much.

He may be in for a shock when he starts traveling.

This was from about 3 weeks ago, he's already said it was misrepresented and Warren has been complaining that the person who did the interview was following an agenda and took stuff from 4 different questions to make it controvercial.

Khan is Naieve and there are genuine reason why educated fight fans had an issue with his attitude and career path.

the ducking of Murray and Thraxton grated on alot of UK fight fans and was the source of a grat deal of the dislike, for me his fight against Kotelnik answered alot of questions and unless he fights another 4 Salita's in a row i'll be off his back in that reguard.

I very much doubt he would ever say he is treated like god. As a ****** we can not associate with god or anyone else, object etc...

source?

Saleta was untested and never fought a ranked fighter. He is also a light puncher. Maidana won a title eliminator against Victor Ortiz, Khan refused to fight him after that and takes a mandatory(??) in Saleta. Meanwhile Prescott loses and turns out to be ordinary. Now if Khan goes to the U.S. he will demand special consideration in chosing his opponents. No wonder our respected UK members are so hard on him.

This is why the British public don't like him.

Always whining, but turns around and proclaims to be the next big superstar. Gets knocked out in 50 seconds and everyone laughs at him. It's his own fault.

That and the fact he's in Warren's pocket. Thus not reaching his maximum potential.
