Comments Thread For: Amir Khan's Race Card Talk Should Stop, Says Gallagher

[mushahadeen]

Outspoken Denton-based trainer Joe Gallagher, who guided Matthew Macklin to victory in Ireland last weekend, has hit out at Amir Khan’s claim that ‘I know if I were a white English fighter, I would be a superstar in Britain and the world’ by declaring that the WBA light-welterweight champion is bringing race into sport.

khan is right tho, lots of hate for ******s in the world right now, wheter justified or unjustified.

I'd say it's justified............

[Swag Hustla]

I doubt his ethnicity is holding him back, but their is a lot of backlash towards ******s these days. So his argument may have validity. Khan's argument is definitely more justifiable than Mayweather's "boxing critics don't like me because I am black bull****."

edgarg...and why would you say its justified?

[Sir Tom Jones]

Khan just needs to the buisness in the ring. Needs to stop with all this rubbish.

Some people are always going to hate for any number of reasons. Race, religion, style, look, whatever. This is a fact, I wish it wasn't. He's not the first to experience this nor the last. Boxing has always been a way up for the ***************. A way out of poverty in hard times. So let's get on with the sport. PS: Criticism is not hate.

[Schism]

Khan's not even hated.

He's disliked by very few, probably not even 1% of the population. But pulling out **** like this will just attract more negative attention.

Wow, white people love to deny the marketing advantage the color of their skin gives them. Jason Sehorn, Mike Alstott, BABY JOE MESI... of course Khan would be more universally embraced by a predominately white country if he were white! That's not to say it is impossible for him to be a superstar in England because he's not... it'll just be a little harder. White folks love seeing other white folks succeed in minority dominated sports. It's very easy for an above average white athlete to reach superstar status (I'm looking at you Beckham!) whereas most minority superstars need to be legitimately "great". It's not right... it's total bull**** but that's a fact and the only people that seem to deny it are white people. I find it pretty funny.

Just an unbiased observation from a white American with eyes.

maybe only 1% of the population actually are dumb enough to say how they feel.
