Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Khan-Brook Can Draw 100,000 Fans in UK

[Dirk Diggler UK]

It makes me laugh that ODLH believes Khan is a megastar in the UK. He has a following but since his initial intro: 2nd best at the Olympics and Frank Warren's hype machine, it's all been downhill in terms of UK profile. Most fans know Khan as somebody who was highly praised & nearly good, but ultimately isn't as good as advertised.

Khan***8217;s handlers have made mistakes that affect his credibility. Not avenging the 3 losses makes it hard for any non-bias boxing fan to believe in him. Yeah, he made noise about avenging the loss to Peterson, but talk is cheap. Khan has yet to avenge any of his 3 losses so as far as many fans are concerned that***8217;s a weakness. It makes ***8220;Khan can be one of the best of all time***8221; a VERY hard sell to a more discerning & critical fan base.

Talk is cheap? Made noise? He signed a contract for the rematch you spastic. They had press conferences for the rematch. Khan trained for several weeks for the fight and Peterson failed a drug test yet you somehow spin it to being Khan's fault! Incredible!

You still looking all over L.A for a place to watch Amir?

Good thinking batman! It would be better in the north.

At 75K Old Trafford's too small.

Oh, it's you again. You're like a little yapping dog around my ankles. Always looking for an argument, but just not capable of much more than insults. It's funny that you often mention people's IQ when you repeatedly fail to understand simple concepts.

Yes talk's cheap.

1. Is Peterson banned? No.
2. Has the rematch ever happened? No.
3. Is avenging his losses a priority for Khan? No.
4. Do multiple unavenged defeats damage a fighters rep? Yes.

It should be fairly simple to understand even for you, but if it isn't, it isn't.

Yes it's very clear that you refuse to acknowledge that Khan did everything to get the immediate rematch with Peterson and even gave him a 50% split on the UK revenue. So how was it not a priority for him to avenge that loss?

Peterson admitted to being on PEDs in their first fight and was subsequently banned. What was Khan supposed to do? Wait around and then offer a man who punched him in the head whilst juiced a fight?

Absolutely pathetic and backwards argument. Khan has moved up in weight and moved on with his career - he doesn't need to chase a drug cheat around for a fight.

You didn't mention if you'd finally found a place to watch Amir after scouring all over LA?

Say what you like. Argue 'til you're blue in the face. The points listed are true. If Khan wants to set the record straight he has 3 defeats to avenge. That only happens in the ring. Anything else is just words and as I've already pointed out talk is cheap.

Of course, don't lets facts and reason get in the way of your irrational obsession with Khan.

Keep posting in his threads though because I thoroughly enjoy making an absolute twat out of you.

If you can, read the 4 bullet points. Tell me which is factually incorrect.

Number 3 since Khan clearly made it a priority to get the Peterson rematch since he signed for it which you refuse to acknowledge. Khan wanted a Garcia rematch but Danny's father said he wouldn't grant him one.

How you manage to portion all the blame onto Khan is quite staggering. It shows brand new levels of commitment to your obsession.

Do you post in anything other than Khan threads? Serious question...

Like I've said Khan is the most disliked fighter in the uk and it seems this travels across the pond but for this it could bring a Chris Eubank kind of situation where people would tune in just to see him smashed to bits.

I can't think of a better all British fight for Wembley than this one.

Degale-Groves II for a World title or two.

They sold out an arena, I think it was over 12,000 people when both were just prospects and it was for British and Commonwealth titles. No one cared about Nathan's World title defense, it was about those two.

I think a rematch would be just as huge as Froch-Groves.
