Just when I don't think I can dislike Amir Khan anymore than I already do the TWAT comes out with the race card. That is a fucking disgraceful in my opinion.
I'll tell you why I really don't like Khan....
After the olympics he was given EVERYTHING on a plate by sky and warren. Even with a heafty pay check, brilliant amateur pedigree, and the best full time training he was still fighting blown up, has been feather and super feather weights and various other part time tomato cans. And he was was struggling....
The barrera fight.... I can't believe they actually tried to talk this fight up, it was a complete mis match from the start. Barrera was old and past it (no offence to the guy I think he's a legend) and he'd never fought up at that weight before. It was tosh from the out set. But.... Khan still feels the need to walk in their with his trunks pulled up to his neck and if thats not a big enough piss take, Barrera get's cut due to a head clash and can't fight properly. The cut happened within the first four rounds it should have been a no contest and had the boot been on the other foot it would have been, but khan still took the win and behaved like he'd beat a prime tyson. And what really capped this bullshit off for me was they started discussing morales!?
The Breidis Prescott fight. Finally he got in with someone a similar age and size to him. Prescott hadn't been given the silver spoon treatment and bang look what happened. Why did our hero not demand an imediate rematch?.......
He ran away, moved up a weight division and fought the easiest lightest punching light welterweight chump he could find.
Khan doesn't behave like a champion and he doesn't fight like a champ. He's a fucking coward that has his fights organized for him to win.
Salita on the other hand has been given nothing and has had to fight and fight and fight and got very little in return. I hope the guy makes the most of what could be his one and only shot.
I can't see Khan fighting the winner of Prescott and mitchell. Well maybe if mitchell wins, but then mitchell spent the vast majority of his career at super feather.
And that was a very good point about haye. The reason why haye is liked is cuz he wants the toughest of toughest fights and he has a bit of charisma, and he doesn't bang on about race....
