When boxing at distance Khan looked good, his speed counted, up close he struggled. Pacman - Marquez and Chisora -Helenius were both Robberies, this wasn't. Fenster I don't know if you are being sarcastic or serious but I am assuming you are speaking with tounge in cheek. A point can be made though, about the ridiculous situation in which a British fighter has to go to America to DEFEND his belts,in the challenger's hometown and we are expected to wait up till 4 a.m to watch it. It is probably Khan's own greed but really I wish more UK fighters would insist on defending belts they have often won away from home here in Great Britain.
Khan seems to want to British fans to love him whilst bending over and taking it from behind for the US $ and crapping on the British fans...he deserves the hate he gets. The US is not longer the boxing capital of the world it used to be, it might be where the money is but is the money worth not letting your countrymen see you? German is an emerging force and is good for British fans, Britain is still a decent place to fight (despite our judges) and would again get fans...
