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

[Andre]

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.

[Andre]

Thats quite a racist remark towards a good sh!t.

There are good and bad sh!ts you know.

Come to think of it, wheres that dude plopeater gone? that was just weird sh!t.

[El Kabong]

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.

[Youngblood]

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"

[USA LOVES THE KLITSCHKOS]

He might be on to something maybe Prescott is a racist too after all he did knock him out early, he never gave Khan a chance.STFU Khan!!!

[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.

This thread is the shit, not to be confused with shit.

[Master]

Khan is over hyped and this is a stupid comment.

Another not-so awesome quote from Amir:

"I was in Vegas and I heard Zab Judah (former two-weight world champion) is coming back down to 140lbs and he was shouting out in a press conference 'I want to fight Amir Khan'. "

"It's a good job I wasn't there because we probably would have had a fight in the press room. "

Although this is a joke thread....I'm increasingly starting to agree with the sentiments.

Floored by Willie Limond, KO'd by Prescott, lucky against Barrera....and whilst it's all well and good for him to be trained by Roach, he needs to portray himself better and stop making such silly statements if he wants to be a superstar.

To be honest this thread is just a classic example of why Amir might say what he has just said.

I mean so far two pages of replies virtually all of you saying you want him to get knocked out again and that he's an arrogant prick.

Now as individuals I'm sure none of you are racist but Amir is obviously well aware that this kind of dislike for him is echoed up and down the country.

And for many many people it will be racially motivated.

He was unwise to comment on it as it will probably only inflame things, which is why his dad moved quickly to dismiss such claims as having any substance, but Amir obviously knows a lot of people don't like him, he hears the boo's when he fights and maybe even reads forum posts on the net about himself.

He's just a young lad and any of us being vilified publicly would feel hurt and want to speak out about it.

I like the kid, he's just sticking up for himself imo.

As for the person who said they don't like Lewis Hamilton because he moved to Switzerland, come on get real. First off virtually all the Formula One racers live in Europe, its a predominantly European sport after all, and secondly why would want to give away millions of his cash each year in taxes?

It's all very well saying he should be contributing to hospitals but if it was YOUR money, and the government wanted to take several million off you each year for the joy of living here in Blighty, what would you do? personally I'd much rather live in some beautiful, sunny, trendy dream location and keep my millions than give them up to enjoy a life of 'Gray UK'.

Rubbish! Khan got everything he ever needed and he has absolutely no right to complain. The media never turned their back on him when he got mashed up in a minute againsed Prescott, he still gets loads of praise, too much if you ask me but never any negative press, even when he runs people down driving like a twat.

Any British fighter would give anything to have what Khan has and do far more to get it.

Hahaha good job
