Larry Merchant: "That was a great performance, Amir. How do you feel about it?"
Amir Khan: "First of all, I want to thank Allah Almighty. Without his help this all would not be possible.
I just want to say to all the kids that are watching at home. Never let anybody tell you that you can't do something. Never. They said that I had a weak chin and would never become world champion. I became world champion. They said that I would never fight a puncher again because I would get knocked out again. I did not only fight the hardest hitter of the division, I also beat him convincingly.
Dear children, if you have a dream, a goal or an ambition... just go for it."
Larry going for his tissue in his pocket to wipe his tears out... Amir sees this and uses his superfast hands and reaches Larry's face before Larry and wipes his tears off with his God-given hands.
Larry Merchant: "You know, Amir. Because of you, boxers with weak chins will now keep on going. Whenever someone tells them that they have a weak chin and will never make it. The boxers will respond by saying your name: 'Amir Khan'. "If Amir Khan can do it, then so can I". The naysayers will fade away and crippled people will start walking again.
Thank you for this, Amir. Thank you."
