Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: I Believe India Can Produce a Muhammad Ali

[BoZz]

India can't produce a proper amateur boxer let alone an all time great, Khan is a fkn idiot

[Outworn]

They are busy playing cricket

Statistically there probably is someone talented and physically capable, but firstly giving them a pathway into boxing is hard, second finding them would be like a needle in a haystack and if they were talented in any sport then getting a cricket ball out of their hand would be a challenge.

I do agree that it’s an untapped talent pool, especially in lower weight classes, and the MLB have long been doing recruiting missions to convert would be cricketers because they have some fast arms amongst them.

If I had a bottomless pit of cash to invest in grass roots boxing to find the next great HW, I’d start in Africa before India. Some big and tough dudes in Rwanda, Ivory Coast, Nigeria etc

Very true. If I was a millionaire I would def invest in West Africa. Cameroon should have a world Cup by now. Even a FIBA champion. Definitely a legit boxing champion. But he's Pakistani so he's pushing a agenda that really aint going to work. They are all the same ppl the problem is religion.

Maybe a guy NAMED Muhammad Ali. That's feasible.

Was gonna say that. Pretty obvious I guess.

Amir gets a lot stick but you have to respect the charity work he does and things like this which, whilst they are business ventures, show he wants to use his influence in a positive way.

India is not a sporting nation period, with over a billion citizens, their Olympic medal standing is absolutely pathetic. The only sport they seem to care about is Cricket which is not even a global sport.

Non-sense. It's the second most popular in the world, after Football. Viewing figures for big Cricket games dwarf Olympic viewing figures, even Liverpool v Man Utd figures, and all those American Sports.

[Armchairhero]

Apart from cricket I can’t really think of any top Indian sportsmen. It’s not a hot bed of athletes like west Africa for example
