Why is Amir Khan always labelled ******?

But that's not the case with other ******s like for Bernard Hopkins, ****m Richardson, Zahir Raheem, Chris Eubank, the Ibramigov bros, Omar Sheika,Felix Sturm, even Tyson and Ali who are the most famous boxers alive today. Same with Nas before. Do Khan and Nas have ********* ties or something that the other guys don't? Or is is more due to race than religion?

Tyson and Ali are always labeled has ******s in almost every article you read, especially Ali, plus the other fighters didn't mention it as much as Khan does.

It's because they "LOOK" like typical ******s I guess (middle eastern/Pakistani).

I guess the media doesn't realize ******s come in all colors. I doubt if a chinese fighter ever comes along who is a ****** they'll mention it much, even though there are well over 20 million ******s in china

I'm not sure if Ali brought it up in interviews or if HBO ever did segments on Tyson that mentioned his faith, but Khan seems like he wants people to know about his beliefs, hence why they constantly talk about him being a ******. I don't think it's a coincidence that they show clips of him praying in a mosque before the McCloskey fight or mention how he was fasting during Ramadan (Which was when the Prescott fight took place).

Because those fighters you mentioned would bring up their religion at every chance they get. Khan does not do that.

Because this is America........9-11 was no joke. Just saying....when someone flies planes into an American landmark and kills a ton of people on the basis of their faith, that faith is gonna be cast in a not so pleasant light. Just the truth....otherwise, no one would care about what he believes nor mention it.
