If Khan wins tonight,NO EXCUSES PLEASE!

[ono]

Personally I'll give Khan credit as long as Barrera doesn't quit early or get blown away early - Signs he shouldn't have even been in the ring.

I agree it's a good match made by FW.

I didn't think it would go through

Yeah he needs the fight to be a hard one to gain any credit from it. It's like if Calzaghe had done to Kessler what he did to Lacy, he wouldn't have got much credit for it. Kessler would have just been over-hyped so a tough win for Khan is the best thing for him. A blow out might land him a world title shot before he is ready as well. Maybe his chin will never be ready.

Khan wouldn't be given credit if he was fighting Barrera, Jesus and the KFC Colonel at the same time and still won.. honestly, I think he will always be hated on. Part of the reason is probably due to Frank Warren, I mean Hatton was also labelled a 'protected fighter' for a while when he was with Warren.. maybe Khan would do better to sign with a different promoter, e.g golden boy.

I always thought that there was always an underlying racial or ethnic aspect that everyone is afraid to bring to the surface. BUt I dont live there so I couldnt say.

I don't know why people (mainly non-Brits) keep saying that, I really don't.

Fair play. Maybe I am justmore cynical than most. That is good if it is not the case.

I think the lack of support for Kahn has fuck allto do with his muslim roots, its more due to the fact he has done fuck all and has it all at the age of 22 and the fact he thinks he can beat everyone in the world,i dont mind him that much i read his book and in truth comes across very humble guy.

That's one of my main gripes. Everything handed on a plate, hyped up to buggery then he gets KO'ed, has a piss easy fight and gets Barrera, the winner to fight for a world title probably.

We have guys that could do a lot better if they were lucky enough to get such exposure as Khan has had. On top of that he still thinks he is the shit! Hope the chinny bastard gets shown up in brutal fashion by my Barrera

IMO there is definitely an element of that. I'm not saying its the only reason, but it is an aspect & you only have to look at the comments on many mainstream UK sports sites after his defeat to Prescott to see it. I think anyone who's ignoring it as a factor in why some people dislike him is being naive.

Khan gets too much hate. I hope he retires the old man Barrera and has a good career. Barrera needs to stay retired. He has no business fighting on.
