In my view, we cannot ignore the fact there is a lot of Islamophobia in this country which creates a state of mistrust, whenever they see a Muslim.
Haye and Calzaghe have proved themselves thats the difference, im not sure what you was implying with your last comment but i hope your not one of those people that bring race into a debate.

Sir, I do not want to bring race in to the debate, I am just puzzled why Khan is singled out for things others are praised for, and Khans religion seems a possible answer.
Those attributes Khan is critisized for in this thread seem to me to be pre-requisites for any boxer who wants to make it to the top, or who already is.
to say you fo not want to bring race into the debate seems a bit strange - particularly as you keep bringing race into the debate

as has been said the others' cockiness has been backed up and if and when Khan takes out a top ten fighter he has the right to be cocky. Until then shut up.

He only has to look at Audley Harrison to see what can go wrong - someone else who was a millionaire before he stepped through the ropes.
