You know what, on a serious note, this is something I have been thinking about for a while actually. I'm not racist, far from it, but I'm more than aware of how many fans have not taken to Khan, and I'm wondering how much of that is down to Hamed ??

I was a huge Naz fan, and I must admit I felt extremely let down by his actions post Barrera. Naz sold us all on the fact he was this, he was that. For the most part he backed it up in the ring. The acid test was how he reacted after the defeat. and the bottom line is he plain bottled it, and left all his fans high and dry. It's not that I jumped ship after his defeat, I would never, ever do that, but I was left severely disillusioned with his antics. Naz always stated he was a champion with the heart of a champion. Well, I agree with the first bit.

After following Naz's from early in his career, as a fan I felt very let down. And I must admit, alot of my illusions of him were shattered. The fighter I believed him to be would have rematched Barrera in a hearbeat. He didnt, hence bad taste left in my mouth.

I certainly dont want to get into a race thing here, but for the average joe who either disliked Hamed's cockiness, or even the hardened fan that was left bemused and a little upset by Hamed's post loss defeat actions. Do you think that Khan could possibly be receiving some of this backlash because they share the same ethnicity ? It is a fickle country that we live after all.
