Comments Thread For: Amir Khan's Victory Continues Longtime U.K. Tradition

[Hard Boiled]

YES !! Amir gets the grade A+.

Amir Khan is a Pakistani so he gets the grade A+, If he was a white British fighter like Froch/Mitchell he would have lost very badly.

Like Khan said "If I were White Id be a superstar in the UK".

He spoke honestly and from the heart! He is not white and will never be accepted by the British and so he should become an American, America is a nation that accepts all regardless of thier color, Give it your, Rich, Your poor, America will make them all they can be.



I hope an pray Amir Khan becomes an American!

Khan is more popular in the UK than Mitchell or Froch.

Oh god, he beat Malignaggi, and now everyone thinks he's an A+ fighter. What a joke, talk about a hype job. He's still a journyman. When he beats some real champions then I'll believe the hype, untill then he's just that, HYPE.

It was an A+ for his US debut, not that he's an A+ fighter.

he's a world champion at 23 so like it or not, he's more than just hype.

the sad thing is i noticed there was a pakistani flag in the crowd the other nite, but unfortunately you would never get that in the uk in any of khans fights. i have to say that in america, all races seem to be accepted more equally.

Amir is a superstar in the UK, the vast majority of Brits see him as British even if he has Pakistani roots, Froch and Mitchell have no way near the superstar status Khan has, in fact the only active boxer who does have a more superstar status in the UK is David Haye who isn't white either, a country that has the Ku Klux Klan is claiming to be a more acceptable to different races???, Britain is a very acceptable with London being probably the most culturally diverse city in the world, and by the way there have been Pakistani flags at UK arena's as people including Amir's family are supporting their heritage, there has never been an issue with this in the UK

There is definately a racist undertone element amongst UK fans unfortunately though, obviously its a minority thankfully. Khan has even said it himself. We all know, to be bluntly honest, how reguarly the word '****' is used in the UK. Khan has said that some people even shout stuff at him in the steet. I'm british myself, and you're right that, on the whole, we are culturally diverse, but you still get a racist element. Sorry but its true. I guess you get that everywhere though.
