Khan makes racism claim - "I'd be a Superstar if I was white"

[OumaFan]

Probably. Ali is really on a different planet though.

Out of all the things I say this is the controversial one? That a white fighter is more marketable? Really? Come on, any manager would tell you they'd love to find a charismatic talented white kid.

Before everyone goes super defensive I'm not saying people that don't like him are racists, hell I don't like him much although I tried valiantly for a while in order to annoy Missy.

Im not saying i disagree with you, but i don't think thats always the case. The fighters i gave there for example are sort of what im getting at, how bigger could they have been if they were white ? and there's loads more i could think of, but i think you catch my drift.

I always wondered who that was who popped in here once a year created a thread and stated Amir was a victim of racism.
I bet it was him.

Actually I think he should wear and Elephant trunk and fly in on a carpet like Nassem Hamed used to do,that seemed to work out ok for him... arhchem, cough splutter.

The Barrera name arises in all glory.

That's right because there are SO many white superstars in boxing

[g3org3]

hes not a superstar because hes an very average fighter nothing special its got nothing to do with his colour what a dick he is.

The guy has some serious talents you can't teach. Talking obviously isn't one of them. haha. 1% bodyfat anyone?

I still enjoy watching him fight tho. Whether it is winning or kissing canvas.

[Saddo]

not great to hear that from him... it should have said...

"I'd be a Superstar if i didn't have a china chin"

[Andre]

Mundane pulled the same stunt on the Aussie public,look where that landed him. They remind me of each other in many ways,the comments,the loss, ,even down to the fathers both saying pull your head in.

[Master]

Khan is over hyped and this is a stupid comment.

[OumaFan]

And half of the country hated Ali, do you think that many would have still if he was a brash outspoken white kid? Doubtful. Although some would have hated him white or black for his stand on Vietnam.

Of course a non-white guy can become the biggest star in the sport, its been proven time after time, would never argue against that.
