I mean i don't see Minorities and blacks dancing in the streets when Hatton was KTFO by Mayweather, but when Khan was KO'd, i saw countless of Whites celebrating as if England had won the world cup, shouting all sorts of racist remarks.

I really think Boxing Fans need to clear out the scum.
Are you just making this shit up? You sound ridiculous.....

As to black fans- 3 of the 4 british blacks (not together, in dif groups) I met in Vegas for Hatton-Maywether were there to support Mayweather.

You are trying to cause a controversy where there isn't one - and sounding ridiculous with your attempt...even making scenarios up...self-righteous prick

Its you and others who always seem to pull this - reading through your posts its not the first time.

I think its hilarious Khan has had his downfall - I think he will beat MAB and the hype machine will then follow again - like I said in another thread a fantastic piece of matchmaking - but go and shove your "racism" b*llocks right up your f*cking arse.

I follow black boxers - and even know a number of asians - a couple who I regard as pals so I certainly do not think my intense dislike for Khan is born out of racism.

To be honest there has been few threads which have made my blood boil like this thread - I will state again stop bleating and start crowing when Khan proves unequivocally that he is superb in the boxing ring - and take your political b*llocks elsewhere!!!

Sorry observer but this very line -

"Sadly but obviously racism is a huge factor into this, though the overwhelming majority will obviously deny this"

- translates to me as - "here is my opinion, if you don't agree then you are a racist"

Also you still need to explain the whole Hatton and Calzaghe situations.

Private life is private, they can do what the eff they want IMO, hell if I was a world champion boxer I'd be out shagging every week.

Muhammad Ali cheated on his wife as well you know, or did you purposely leave that out?

No im not saying Amir Haters are Racist. Quote me one line where i said that.

I'm just saying many of the Amir-Haters seem to have pretty pathetic excuses to hate someone. Exuses that can be used against any boxer..

What they do in their private life is nothing to do with me. As you probably know, i have ever critisized a boxer for what he does in his private life. The same applies to everyone, but not when it comes to Khan, and his Driveing incident.
If you see where i am coming from?

Do you or do you not agree there is a high level of Racism involved when it comes to some of the critics of Khan?

I think most of it is deluded, rather than racist.

Good fighter, got knocked out and people couldn't wait to ruin him.

Would be the same if Calzaghe ever got sparked, and look at the grief Hatton got on (and still gets) on here after Mayweather laid him out.

He comes across as cocky, but to be honest I've met him and thought he was a top guy.

FW doesn't help his image, and obviously the driving incident deserves criticism...but only a minority will be racist. You do get the odd guy who comes on here and his first post happens to just been slating Khan, but you get that with others as well.

Observer,

You have used the "racist card" in this thread and quite frankly I find it inexcusable.

In addition - whether it be boxing or just giving your thoughts on a variety of subjects it is not the first time you have chosen to take the stance you do.

You are of course entitled to your opinions and I will completely concur with you and others who state "racism" is a very serious issue and should be dealt with accordingly.

You and others sometimes should be reminded this is a BOXING FORUM and yep people should feel free to discuss the variety of boxing issues they choose to - whether that be about boxing politics or the fights themselves - but in my personal opinion it should not be a platform for the likes of you to spout your politcal race card b*llocks when the threads do not suit you or someone is being heavily criticised - if a poster has gone over the top in their criticisms - then surely it is the job of the owner & moderators to take the necessary action with the perpatrator and if necessary for action to be taken accordingly if deemed that serious.

Furthermore may I remind you that there are moderators on this site who are not only of different colour and religions they also take their jobs extremely seriously and do an outstanding job and as such you preaching "this is racisim" and anyone who speaks against a boxer who is of a different colour or religion is being racist is an insult to the owner and moderators and it is as I would put in my words "complete and utter b*llocks".

I will repeat racisim is a very serious issue and should be dealt with accordingly - that job lies with the owner of this site and in addition the moderators - not some poltically correct clown such as yourself.

I further remind you:

Not quite, i asked a few simple questions, which a few of the respected members actually replied to in a proper manner. Im just waiting for the usual crew, who of course did not read what i said, to respond in a civilized way.

Maybe you'd care to join them E, i know that's a tall ask from you, but im sure you can do your best for me.

A lot of people have wanted Hatton to lose for years for fighting mismatches whilst he and his promoter have talked a much bigger fight. People got sick of the hype and not fighting the domestic likes of Witter who they hoped would be the one to knock him out.

People hate Man U because of the press they get and the nature of their fans. Ok they have reached the top but a lot of people would still love to see them fall off their perch and fail.

There are lots of examples of people who have a large group of people who want to see them fail, and i'm sure race doesn't come into it as much as you claim. Yes there will be people who want to see the "little paki knocked out" I don't think these people are in the majority or were holding street parties anywhere the day Prescott blew him away

Again, each time I've met Amir I've thought he was a top, top bloke. I don't think he will win and hold onto a legit world title with that chin of his, but I wish him well.

observer is just doing selective reading. Apparently the first proper reply was on this sixth page... nonsense, if you ask me. As I said before, if observer wants to make an anti-racist point, accusing the 'overwhelming majority' of racism, is not the way to do it.

I think what he meant to say was that racism is a factor for some who hate Khan, which is without doubt true there are people out there who will hate him for his skin colour but the way observer posted it was a "huge factor" is completely wrong and for the comment saying "the overwhelming majority will obviously deny this" is just ridiculous.
