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?

Wow slow down. I never said the people who boo him are racist.

I said that from experience i believed racism was a factor in some peoples judgement. And i stand by that statement, because it's something that i've witnessed....on several occassions unfortunately.

I understand what you're saying.. but it's pretty obvious SOME peoples hate for Khan is due to racism. I think this argument is lazy.

From a boxing perspective the racist hate for Khan comes from a small minority. That shouldn't be confused with genuine boxing fans booing him because they dislike a particular thing about him - style, attitude, image, way he's promoted, rooting for his opponent etc.

Again.. All famous fighters get haters.
