In defence of Amir

Post by Ratchet Exits Nu »

if it's true that more tickets have been sold than Kell versus whoever it was then there will be a good turnout.
Khan is a star and can put bums on seats imo.
Let you know next week what the atmosphere's like.

:OhYes:
can he box though? He seems to lack boxing IQ for me hence why he always walks into big shocks. I think his speed and footwork has given him the ability to get away with a lot of the errors he makes. He's still a very good fighter though.

His last fight was boring, and his next one will be also. But when he's finished with his televised sparring and gets back into the mix with guys on his level i'll be watching for sure :TU:

In defence of Amir the reason he is not liked in some quarters has NOTHING to do with his style.
More to do with the distain he has shown his fans.Ie serving up shite and charging a fortune.
Ducking opponents by offering pityfull paydays he knows they cant take then going on record to say they've ducked him.Blaming Freddie Roachs Parkinsons for his demise when he refused to listen to one of the greatest trainers in the world i could go on .
He has no class according to him Brook is not worthy of his attention .
So why is he in Sheffield telling any pudendum who'll listen how much better than Kell his doing?
He is doing this to prove he is worth the lion share of any purse between him and Brook.
You wanna pay 75 notes to help Khans propaganda more fool you.

Yeah, in the world if boxing, Amir Khan really stands out as a quite despicable figure.

Worse than any of the convicted murderers, rapists, muggers and other violent criminals that are involved in the sport.

Yes he's a horrible little runt, won that silver medal at 17 shocking, bashed up poor Kindelan on that contrived show on ITV don't you know, didn't fight Sid Razak, unforgiveable.

He's horrible, simply horrible.

If you don't do Area, British, Commonwealth, Euro, Eliminator then World title shot you aint worthy

1) But you watched them

2) Molina ( Did Khan still have it)
3) Uk/Irish clash that was intriguing
4) Tactical compelling.

None of them were boring.

Andre Ward, now THAT'S boring!

I thought Molina and Koletnik were very entertaining, one sided - but showed Khans skillset beautifully. McCloskey isn't a very exciting fighter 'cheated not defeated' my arse. :doh:

There was a good article about Amir in this weeks Boxing News. I do feel quite sorry about how he is treated by the haters. At the end of the day he is a high achiever and deserves respect.

Its his personality though that gets him haters. He constantly refers to himself in the third person *not that he's the first that has done that* and he's just very arrogant a lot of the time when you see him in interviews, etc.

Well possibly that's part of it, but not the whole picture. There's almost certainly a racist angle to it, to deny that is nonsense. I just think its a real shame, because at the end of the day he loves his boxing and always gives 100%. He's one of the UK's few elite boxers, and shouldn't have to put up with the level of negativity he does.

I don't believe it has anything to do with racism at all, nearly the whole country came to a standstill for his Olympic final and his ITV fights were getting millions of viewers. Sure there is a very small contingent of racists but aren't they active in every sport and not specific to what race they are against, and it never hurt the likes of Bruno, for example, or Hamed who may be a better example.

I think racism is being used as an excuse for his diminishing fanbase, but he's made himself very unlikable as a person to the average punter, that's his fault.

But that racist element has always existed, it's just easier for them to connect with their targets now using those mediums, so those idiots would never be, or were never fans.

I don't recall seeing any racist taunts towards Khan on here. Twitter is full of twats trying to get a rise out of celebrities so no surprise there.

In the ring, I like to see Khan fight. He's got tremendous heart/balls and, unfortunately for him but luckily for us, a lack of tactical nous that results in him getting involved in tear ups for more often than he should. What's not to like about that?

Outside the ring, he spouts utter shite, constantly low balls potentiallly good opponents and cherry picks more often than not. The Maidana fight only happened when he was threatened with getting stripped of his title after he'd been chased for a year plus, the Peterson and Garcia fights were supposed to be easy touches.
