Who hopes Khan can become an elite boxer? Vote now!

I've yet to go to a Boxing venue where the majority aren't pissed up football fans so i'm not sure what that's got to do with anything. Plus if we're using your brit yobbo footballing fans terminology, it's understandable that Marquez and Mosley got booed because they aren't English. Khan is.

I've never said that he has any irrational hate on this board, but i'd imagine this board or the opinion of similar boxing forums probably represent around 10% if that, of an attending crowd.

I wouldn't rather take some report than use my own ears. I've heard for myself mate. I know i'm not the only one who's heard it. It's also something that's been mentioned a fair few times in Boxing News (fight reports). Hell, reading Youtube comments will give you a decent idea.

Sorry mate, it's going to take more than a couple of handheld youtube videos to convince me that the support for Khan far outweighs the distain for him.

Unreal.

When other fighters get booed is that racism too?

Hate to say it fenst but the amount of times i used to here fellas in a pub hoping hamed/khan would get beat and then follow it up with its because of their race

Where black fighters are concerned we are way past that. Bruno and been were beloved in this country.

But khan still endlessly raises the is he british 1st or muslim 1st? A lot of his travelling fans are from the pakistani/british community and do tend to chant "pakistan" quite a lot.

Retarded argument i know. Amir doesnt strike me as either arrogant or unpatriotic and while he lacks the charisma to become a household hero just like calzaghe, we should still be fully behind one of our boys reaching his true potential

I'm not surprised considering you hang around with BNP supporters.

From a boxing perspective the racist hate for Khan comes from a small minority. That's my point. Whether Khan was a boxer or not ignorant racists would still hate him. That SHOULD NOT be confused with boxing fans that don't like him for a particular reason.

Once again - ALL famous successful fighters have both lovers and haters.
