All Khan does is point out the truth, 'I'm the champ', 'I won the fight', 'I beat you every round you bullshitting Irish blagger'.
Face it, there is nothing that Amir would have said that you wouldn't have inerperated in the most negative way possible. Even had he agreed and said 'You know what, i was getting tired in that fight, and mcKloskey is a good boxer, he knew he would come on strong in the late rounds and I may have been in trouble later', you would have all just sneered and said 'yeah you would have got knocked out and you know it you little cunt'.
All I see is a young kid, with passion who believes in himself and stands up for himself against all the criticisms.
People are talking about disgraceful behaviour but had Amir behaved like Barry Hearn after the fight, pushing people around and having to be retrained you would all be calling for him to receieve a lifetime ban from the sport.
Anyways, you will all have another chance to line up and hope he finally gets his cumuppance against Bradley in the summer. I've seen comments on here about how some of you hope Bradley headbutts him all night and cuts him up, which really just sums up the mentality of many of you.
TBH, I have been harsh on Khan in the past, but he won me over with his performance against Maidana. All I just wanted for the guy to fight against a big puncher after the Prescott fight or at least some elite opponent which Bradley is. So I have no criticism of him. Unlike some (I'm not going to name)

can't give the young man his due. Half of these board were littered with "Khan should have lost if not for Cortez," after the Maidana fight or something of that nature.
And again I will say even if the fight was allowed to continue for McCloskey, it would have been a UD for Khan anyway, all he did was save us the time for such a horrible fight.
And really who cares what Khan said. Floyd is a prick but he still has legions of fans. Muhammad Ali was an asshole towards how he treats his opponents especially against Frazier, but the man is viewed as a saint.
