Emotional Amir Khan Interview - Talks about criticism.

[ironmt]

If people actually were to sit there and think before they speak, it wouldn't take a video like this to respect a boxer like Amir Khan.

For whatever reason people find It necessary to label certain fighters "bums" when nothing could be further from the truth. People can make fun of Khan all they want but It took guts for him to jump up In weight to challenge Canelo and he was making a good show of It until he got caught.

I don't like Khan because he brags way too much and shows so little respect for his fellow boxers including the ones who knocked him out. I don't dislike him for losing. Any boxer can lose. It's his arrogant conceited attitude that makes me dislike him. According to Khan Mayweather and Pacquiao were scarred to death of him. Canelo supposedly outweighed him in the ring by about 30 pounds even though they weighed exactly the same at the weigh in. Has anybody ever heard him say a single kind word about Canelo? I never have. I have heard nothing but negative about Canelo. from Khan. I just heard how easily Khan claims he was outboxing Canelo. It's as if Canelo had nothing to do with Khan being knocked out cold for 5 minutes with a single blow. For all his boasting Khan hasn't tried very hard to rematch Prescott, Garcia or Peterson. Khan is an extremely well paid boxer so that should ease the pain of being criticized by fans, much of which he brings on himself by his constant self praises not backed up by actions.

I have. I met him in Vegas after the fight and he had more than a few kind words to say about Canelo! Showed us his body it was all red and said Canelo was killing him to the body! He's a good guy just stfu you've never met him.

Khan has one of the best runs in modern times at 140, including a win over a faded legend and a good run at 147 plus a smart, skilled 3.5 rounds against Canelo, who is one of the best p4p guys around.

The guy deserves mroe respect then he gets but he doesnt exactly help himself by making his personal life not so personal.

Any and all fighters should be shown respect for what they do in the ring, bottom line. It's just a little hard to do that when their antics and interviews outside the ring are the epitome of annoyance.

Video does not exist. I wanted to watch it too. Anyone got a different link?

Absolutely fantastic post!

It takes guts to get knocked the f*uck out and keep getting back up every single time he was knocked down after that, still taking fights with big puncher after big puncher. Fighters of the top level. If anything, this guy deserves MORE respect than some other top fighters out there. Khan is still a threat and tough fight to anybody at 147.

That's the mentality of most elite fighters or athletes of every sport. Whether they show it or not. It's a competition, they put themselves above others. Deep down they need that self belief to stay at the top. I'm sure Khan respects other fighters if he's saying what he said in the video.
