Last time I looked Haye, Eubank, Benn, Bruno, Honeghan, Lewis, Hamed...(I could go on)...weren't white.

The US is a far more divided country racially than Britain.

Last time I checked the US had a mixed race President. Look at Manny Pacquio popularity in the US, Look at Mayweather, Now look at Khan in the UK.

Not all British are racist, But Khan is certainly very targetted by racists because he is an anathema to everything the racists stand for: He is young, Rich, Asian. I really have no qualms saying the US is the most tolerant and diverse nation on earth, If only other countries could emmulate the American success story the world would be a better place for everyone.

Still no-one from the UK has been able to answer a simple question: Why does Hatton, Froch and Mitchell, Murray get alot more of a following than Khan? Khan couldnt even get on PPV for his Malignaggi fight and had to give the fight for free to ITV some unknown channel for his fight to be shown in his own country.

Ofcourse only British white boxers like Mitchell, Earl, Hatton can take a punch without getting Knocked out.

i live in london UK and even though i like him he is still 50/50 over here in terms of likeability

no i dont think its to do with him not being white. lennox lewis isnt white either. I believe its more to do with his parents pakistani background. I dont think it helps his case when his mum is waving a pakistan flag about at some of his fights! Alot of people in the UK are not happy about our immigration laws because areas of britain are becming more like central basra. (oldham, bradford etc..) And apparently it offends these immigrants to see england flags in pubs for the world cup! Add that to the fact he is a ******, a religion that extremists use as justification for their ********* attacks.

personally i couldnt give a monkeys about that ****, he is a good fighter with good prospects and thats all that matters really.

If the majority of the population in Britain were Asian, Khan would be more popular in Britain, what does that say?

That rightly or wrongly he will!! appeal to a wider audience if he shares the same race, but thats whether the population is white, black or Asian.
