If Amir Khan Was White British Would He Be More Popular in UK?

i agree with you, Khan has has alot of exposure and that might have put pressure on himAfter Hatton, Khan has far and away the biggest following of any current british boxer in the UK. From the moment he won silver at the Olympics the guy has had exposure on a national level that not even Ricky had that early on in his career. He seems to think that because all the yes men around him kiss his ass that the rest of the UK must fall in line and do the same. The guy needs to wind his neck. I mean, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Frank Bruno, Prince Naseem even Lennox Lewis were all stars.Comment

Some reasons Khan is not liked in Britain:
He's a bottler and has ducked out of proper fights.
He's ****y and talks ****
Has no chin and is a protected fighter
Has yet to fight for British or European titles.
Believes in his own ego.
Talks about fighting Floyd and Manny as if he is a King
Gets too much coverage, hype, status and money for fighting bums.Comment

You inferred most (and I said most) in that you said they were all taking over.
You're American.
Didn't you do your history or did you get held back at kindergarten?
PS its Britons not Britians dumboLast edited by omarinbox; 05-23-2010, 06:29 PM.Comment

So Khan is talent, Believes in himself, Isnt white and so can never be as popular as Hatton, Froch, Mitchell.
Like it has been said, The "British" really need to get thier house in order. Manny is oriental boxer and in the US is a superstar, In UK he would only be appreciated in a chinese take-out.
Also reading some of the responses of people here from Britian it only proves what Khan has said all along: "If I was white British fighter, Id be a superstar"Comment
