YouTube - AMIR KHAN EXPOSED + Why I Left Boxing (Part 2) by Anthony Small aka Abdul HuqI can imagine Missy watching that and thinking 'Look at that gutless two faced, cowardly prick being respectful when he's in the dressing room when we know full well he's actually just a cock.'Totally disagree with this Miles. Once you've been in there & the more experience you get, the more you start to notice with what fighters are doing. You don't need to be a professional fighter, but you need to have been in a gym & boxed at some level yourself imo. A lot of fans think fighters should do something without realizing the dangers of that action.I hate this argument. There is nothing to suggest that in terms of analysing a sport an armchair fan has to have actually put on gloves to know anything about it.
As an 'unqualified' teacher I had many assumptions about the learning process which I found were quite correct having become 'qualified'. You can apply that to most things. If you follow something enough you are able to make pretty effective deductions about what it is you are following. You don't need a degree in politics to understand world affairs and you don't need to be a professional fighter to know anything about this.
Dogthebountyhunter is simply applying what he has seen of boxing and making deductions about a particular fighter. It is preposterous to suggest that he need lace up before forming an opinion. A lot of it is just common sense.
Anyway back to the thread topic, I think it's ridiculous that McCloskey is humble for what he says yet Khan is an arrogant knob for saying the same. I don't think McCloskey quit, but he certainly didn't look like a guy desperate to stay in there & he fought in a way that would make Audley proud. If he'd done that for the first 2-3 rounds I'd allow it, but six rounds? I think he landed one clean punch all fight. Khan on the other hand had started finding his range and staggering him that round & I said prior to the stoppage to my dad that Khan would stop him that round or the next. Except it was probably all part of Dudey's gameplan to take a few shots & make Amir tire himself out even more
I think Khan is a genuinely nice guy, and it was seeing this video after the Maidana fight that made me a fan. He actually went to the Maidana dressing room to personally apologize for Alex Ariza's abuse of Miguel Diaz, something that to me shows a lot of class.
I'm sure someone will find something wrong with his behaviour then. He probably didn't hand over the title to Maidana or something.
