    Not sure if he still has one but Amir Khans forum used to be comedy gold for unshakable mental Khan fans.

    You could literally start Khan v Anyone or anything thread and you'd get some crazy taking it to heart.

    For the record, Khan would be too fast for Hulk Hogan, Jaws (the shark or dude from Bond, it doesn't matter) and Steven Segal.

    I would ask you why did you even go to the Khan forum.

    I am sure Naz forum would have been the same.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    It was a thing back in the day. Go to fighters forums and cause trouble, it passed some time.

    Without the John Ruiz forum (I think) the immortal line "I had Ruiz ahead against Tua at the time of the stoppage" would never have been born. I think someone here coined it, maybe @Mark TKO or Meunouk.

    The Naz forum was Saddo's parent site. You have some respect.

    Ha yes . And has been used many times since. I gave Fantana the line for his first article on Khan and how he was ahead prior to Prescott stoppage - it was someone here who used the line re Ruiz dominating the first 19 seconds of the Tua bout. In fact I thought it may be you ??

    Fantana since used it re Audley v Haye, Wilder and someone else who kayoed him in first ?

    Sigh. Great days

    Manny Pac has hardcore fans to be sure, but Manny himself has done little to shoo away his fans. Sure, he was annihilated by JMM, and he's been suspected of doping, simply by his refusal to get tested at times. But outside the ring he's pretty much a cool guy, hasn't been caught cheating outright, and he's got some memorable wins on his record. Some of these other guys, meanwhile, do things that would make one's skin crawl... and still they maintain their fans.

    A pretty cool guy? He's a Christian fundamentalist saying gays are lower than animals and giving his backing to the death squad president. There are probably nicer people in the world.

    For the record Mean Gene, I think I could catch the lil bastard brother! I'd have to really focus on the prayers, the vitamins, and the training, but I figure I'd be hitting the leg drop eventually and the ref would be counting 1-2-3!
