I really like Amir Khan, In my eyes hes a clean living perfect rolemodel for any kids out there, boxing fans or not, he sometimes goes out round my local town, my wife works with one of his mates and he just seems an all round top bloke and true professional.
And lets not forget hes actually a very talented boxer.
but then others see other things, hes a fraud, hes on a protected free ride to the top, His fights are on PPV (my gripe), hes living with his head in the clouds.
And the worst bit for me is this (and dont take offence) hes a paki. Simple as that, its racist in the year 2009 but theres still plenty of them out there. And they hated Naseem Hamed and compare the 2, which to me shows its nothing more than racism as other than the colour of their skin they are nothing alike, and where were all these racists when he was winning the UK a silver medal at the olympics?
Personally i blame the media for hyping him up, they always do with medal winners, Frank Warren for protecting him and his family for forcing Warren to sign him up to PPV with their massive money demands.
