BUT for me the hype around him is uncalled for as his chin will let him down at a higher level.

i'm a fan of Witters, Froch is OK and was a massive Naz fan.

but for me Khan is a novice with a suss chin and gets far to much credit... no more no less
Yeah, I agree completely with you Saddo, this has nothing to do with race it is purely that Khan can be cocky at times, and there is an awful lot of hype about him which naturally means jealousy. Hopefully he'll develop the defence to protect that chin and at least compete at proper international level.
s 1283 & 787 to ya bwoss & rhun.

Being a Yank...I probably shouldn't comment...but I kinda have to.

First & foremost...the kid's a Brit & it's ridiculous to even bring race up due to the tone of his skin or where his parents sprouted from. If Khan's shacked up in Brit-land then odds are he's Brit-land citi-zan...he fights for Brit-land & resides there...he is British.

Honestly...I have never heard anyone say that they wanted to see him lose...but maybe I just wasnt listening enough. The thing is...he has a right to be cocky. Look what he's done & how old he is.

I mean youv'e got greatness thrust upon you in your game, your'e being pimped by the biggest pimp in the game, & your'e being groomed to be the highest paid trick on the street...nothing wrong with having some princess like qualities.

that about covers it I reckon! Of all the sports, im my experience, your gonna find very little racism within boxing.

If anyone wants Amir to fail cos he's asian then they should probably go to the gym and get battered around by a 17 year old asian lad with quick hands (been there ) and they will soon learn some respect!

I can honestly say I know a good number of lads that like their boxing and Ive NEVER heard any of them cheer against a fighter cos he was asian.

I DID want Naz to lose....but thats because he was an arrogant wan*er
