    Wanna know why I think he got booed?

    It's because he has Asian roots and is a ******.

    I've seen plenty of posts on this site and had conversations with people that would attest to that.

    Nothing to do with him being cocky. Other UK fighters are as cocky but they don't get booed in their own country. Difference is they're not ******.

    I'm an atheist so this isn't a biased opinion

      i feel sorry for the racist ****suckers when the first asian footballers start showing up on TV.. lol
      Not going to happen. Middle Easterners have been historically garbage at sports (apart from cricket). Which is why mediocrity as Khan gathered such popularity.

        Khan is an elite level boxer, top 2 percent in the world. Anyone calling him mediocre has no grasp of reality.

        Brits and other Euros try to pass themselves off as multicultural, but at the end of the day they have a strong Anglo identity.

        A guy like Khan will always be seen as a foreigner. If Khan was American, that would be another story. We'd accept him as our own.

          Well the Brit fans are fickle as hell.

          Froch Vs Groves I:

          Froch cheered in like he's the messiah, Groves booed. At the end, Froch booed and Groves cheered.

          Froch vs Groves II:

          Both got booed in lol and then after Froch won, he was cheered again lol.

          If Khan goes on another streak of wins, they'll be back to cheering him.

            Like Carl Froch right? Chris Eubank? James DeGale?

            Like I said above, if Froch was Asian everyone who booed him would be called a racist.

              That's the casual UK fans for you. An embarrassment.

                Because he is ****** and the mostly white crowd doesn't believe he deserves all the fame he has gotten.

                    Funny thing is, Carl Froch was booed over two fights more than Amir has ever been on British shores despite being a much greater fighter but no one puts it down to racism. But if he was Pakistani people would be saying everyone's racist.

                    People need to accept that some fighters don't come across well in the media, Froch is one of them, Khan is another.

                    I'm not saying the racist element doesn't exist but if Khan came across real likeable, he wouldn't be getting the stick he does.
                    100% the prince was booed when interviewed at ringside for the first fight. I was shocked.
