Khan makes racism claim - "I'd be a Superstar if I was white"

Hmm I see so he didn't say he could knock out Manny Pacquiao at all but what he actually said was, in the run up to the Diaz Pacquaio fight

'Diaz and Pacquaio are both great fighters but I'm confident I can beat them both'.

Ok so what about that comment is arrogant or offensive to you?

Can you provide a single example of any up and coming fighter when asked about his chances in the division he is fighting says 'No I can't beat them they are too good for me at this time'?

It's ridiculous, he just said what EVERY aspiring fighter says. There is nothing disrespectful or arrogant in that whatsoever.

he claimed he could beat mayweather after what his 5th or 6th pro fight ?

also his comments about kotelnik being the worst world champion out there on bunces show were ridiculous

No he didn't when he turned pro and was asked how he was adapting to the pro game he made a tongue in cheek quip that reckoned he could give even Floyd Mayweather trouble over four rounds.

It was clearly just a light hearted remark from an enthusiastic young kid and not arrogance in the slightest. It wasn't any more serious than when Joe Calzaghe said he could move up to heavyweight and beat Wladimir Klitschko, clearly not something to be taken seriously by anyone other than a moron.

As for Kotelnik slating, again it was a deliberate joke as they were trying to get a fight with Kotelnik at the time. He was clearly not being serious as evidenced by the fact he was full of respect for him once the fight was announced and afterwards.

Some of you it seems have been unable to master the basic art of male to male banter. It's quite bizarre really.

put it this way your the first to jump all over someone like haye if he makes any comment which you decide doesnt fit with your view of how any potential fight will play out

and do you really consider him that intelligent to be putting out these little 'witty quips', listen to one of his interviews, his as thick as people come....

and as i previously mentioned the 1.5% bodyfat s**t he came out with just proves this
