Please explain this remark.
He said it is obvious you hate Khan, so give it a rest. It's very childish.
Meh, this is a boxing message board, can't handle it then do one. I didn't dig up this ancient thread.

I hated Steve Collins campaign of has beens & never beens - does that make me racist?

I hated Calzaghes bum of the month club - anti-Welsh then?

Fooking ridic to label someone racist when there's sooo many more valid reasons to dislike someone, all opf which are entirely sports-related.

That is all.

so anyway, i think most of us want to see khan really prove himself against someone with some firepower, or someone with some pressure. perhaps many of us have become more resigned to the realities of boxing, where X or Y money fighter can do what he wants. it will be a bit cheeky if khan jumped the WBA queue, then dumped it when he/his team weren't keen on the opponent.

interestingly, juan diaz looks done. and it happened against malignaggi, nothing but a slick, underpowered light welter.

so, this weekend, we saw 2 potential amir khan opponents. slick malignaggi, with no power but some trickiness, good win over diaz and feeble loss to hatton.

and timothy bradley continues to improve, this time outhustling and dropping strong american prospect peterson. i would like khan-bradley. bradley is on some run and brings the pressure thick and fast.

Bradley's becoming a very good fighter and notching up quite a few succesful defenses. I think he's too complete a fighter, too accomplished for Khan. Malignaggi will probably be the next logical step: a big name without a big punch.

i like khan to outbox bradley over the first and last thirds of the fight, but to have some really tough middle rounds. that's why i'd like to see this fight. if kahn is going to "duck!" maidana, then he'll need to have a fight with a rival champion lined up. braldey?

I didn't see Bradley's recent fight but in the Holt fight he did show some weaknesses in the earlier rounds.

Holts a puncher though. Good to see young fighters like Bradley who have the balls to tackle their divisions big hitters!
