Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Applauds Decision, Wants Rep Pakistan in Olympics

^^^This

Khan had the red carpet out for him when he started out. Big TV contract, 10+ million viewers. It went to his head and became a ****head before he even achieved anything in the sport.

I remember him being on all the big tv shows at the time like Jonathan Ross where i recall him saying he's going to be world champ and retire by 26

Nah, he was praised upon his return from the olympics, the UK public love an olympian, and britain isn't an inherently racist country. it was only after the public got to know him and his personality when they started to turn off him.

The general public are either indifferent to him, or slightly favorable,he does do charitable things, he does get good coverage because of that,and he was everywhere after he won Olympic silver.

But hardcore boxing fans are a different kettle of fish altogether. If for example, a white man was obsessed with everything a black man said, spent time everyday to rubbish him, never had a nuanced view on him,generally wished ill and did this over a period of years then an impartial person would deduce race is a factor because there's no rational or proportional reason to hate the person, the difference being race. In Britain there are a significant amount of people who don't like ******s,it's almost a psychic scare to see a successful Asian ******, just like it is in America to see blacks do well.

All we hear he has a weak chin thats why .... Errr ok,does that explain the obsession and hate? Where's the outlier atrocious behaviour that explains the outlier obsession?

Literally every sentence is analysed, why?

I guess when you talk as much shit as Khan it will grate on people, no matter what colour you are.

I'm sure Khan has suffered racism in his life, as have a lot of people, but to use racism as an excuse why Khan isn't very liked is laughable and is just playing the race card. Khan himself needs to take some blame for how he comes across.

Plenty of ****s have done charity before so that's not an excuse for him to be liked either.

You lost me with the last sentence, how many boxers? And even still you can't concede it's a positive thing to do, I don't really get a hint of any favourable concession,it's exactly proving my point.

This isn't the racecard really, it's just stating fact, people whip themselves into a frenzy over Khan by analysing every sentence he says, but why do some care so much and take time and effort to do this?

What is this outlier atrocious behaviour I don't really understand.

By any reasonable measure you start to look at other reasons.

[BrometheusBob.]

He already won a medal, what's the point?

Kell Brook should enter too then

[IIG]

Nothing would be better than watching a pro get beat up in the Olympics. I'm pulling against anybody that tries this ****ery.

[mylo86]

Khan got knocked out so bad by Canelo he thinks he's 17 again.

amazing

[thack]

Only when it was convenient for him. Hence why he pissed off as soon as he realised he had no fans.

P.C. again gone mad...but !

No fans ......No fans !

My last sentence was in reply to you saying he does charity, which doesn't really mean anything when discussing why Khan isn't very liked by the British public.

It is the race card when you are trying to push the notion that Khan isn't liked because he is of Pakistani decent and ****** yet negate the fact he is a delusional tit who talks too much.

British sport fans in general don't take to those personalities very well, so i guess you obviously didn't look at many reasons before you pulled the race card.

I think the truth is had Khan had have been white or black at the times he had so many failures it would have been beyond difficult to be in the picture....the Khan's are frauds....Amir had and has NO form apart from taken to bits and knocked cold ...fact.

I love fighters from EVERY side ...Khan IS a fraud.....period!
