Yeah i read that earlier good on him for taking what is clearly a big risk and overall a effing scary place to go,im sure the news will have reached the Taliban

On a lighter note,im not the brightest but reading Amir's quotes is like sifting through broken English from a 6 year old

Kudos though It wouldnt be me

Did Khan make a PR visit to Boston after the bombing? Or is he planning to got to Sydney? Did he make a special trip down to London after the massacres even though it's only a short trip from Bolton? Etc etc wanker

No , but then again , English , Americans and Aussies ,, don't really listen to what he says anyway . In the western world , Khan i'm afraid is not has important or god like , has he seems to think he is .

But Pakistan , well different story really , most probably don't have tv and don't read the back sports pages of the papers , but just see him has this rich dude who's come to save them

Yes, ok... Fair point..... Although 1 1/2 million Brits protested over the Iraq/Afghan war. There is a lack of Musim protest over Muslim-backed atrocities.

Whatever. Maybe this belongs in Off Topic

Also, let's be clear, there is no way Khan will be in any real danger.... He'll be kept away from it

Why would he go to Boston or wherever?

He has an affiliation with Pakistan as his parents were born there,if he didnt have Pakistan roots then i doubt he'd be going over,if his visit can raise awareness and maybe even help some young kids change their beliefs then its a great gesture

um, because it's his people, from his religion, on the grounds of that religion, who are massacring people.

Anyway, as Amir himself said, he's not from Peshawar anyway... So what is your point? All Asians are the same to you now?

Yep you've got me reggae,im a racist

Three years ago he raised £102,000 for Oxfam to rebuild five schools devastated by floods in Pakistan. He's also done other work for Oxfam, raising money and profile of their campaigns, going out to help in relief centres.
After the London tube bombings he spoke out against terrorism, a British muslim voice who spoke up.

He's using his name to do good for people. How anyone can knock this is beyond me.

Maybe some people think it would be better to just go into nightclubs and "make it rain".

He can't do fornicating right can he?

Right wing racists ask prominent Muslims to speak up and condemn the terrorism being done in the name of Islam - and when they do, he has done it out of vested interests.

Great post. Some post just smack of taking a cheap shot even tho Khan's comments stand up in their own right. They should be kept in perspective as just that however. I'm sure there's plenty of people who can appreciate what is a worthy sentiment by a decent human being.

Ok. Well done for him. One way or another those massacres were sickening. I hope these areas are made safer.

Like Benazir Bhutto? Nowhere is free of danger in Pakistan and nobody can be trusted.

It's brave of him and he ought to be applauded; he's done some silly, shitty things but does some good as well.

Some stupid ignorant comments on here mainly from reggie Reggie, stupid name as well, Muslims all over the world have spoken out against these terrorist attacks and many others around the world, including the slaughter of innocent Palestinians, many of them children by Israeli state terror, 35% of Palestinians being Christians, doubt most know about that, certainly not Reggie boy. Khan can't do anything right to some people on here, no matter what he does, fair play to him.

[TopGun]

I don't think it's always a race thing as to why he gets grief on here. It's more about his own PR and how he just loves to talk about himself. You could argue why doesn't he just donate money to rebuild the schools rather than come out with a statement like 'the Taliban can threaten me'.

Donate money and help kids out behind closed doors rather than go to the press! Also I have never actually seen him help a charity out that is not linked to Islam in some way, which I guess is his choice but you could argue that doesn't help his relationships. Why doesn't he help the Jewish community or the homeless that are not from an Asian or Islamic background?


I really enjoy him as a boxer and I'm a fan but when he opens his mouth he just ruins it for me.

How can you assume things like that, how do you know what he does ? Someone mentioned he helps Oxfam, who are Christian charity, I believe, maybe some could go to muslims, but if biased then he could have donated with Islamic relief instead of Oxfam.

Well done Khan. One of of our best talents. Like him or loathe him, the guy is a household name. Moving weight has helped him. He always struggled at lower weights. He has not ducked any fighter contrary to peoples opinions. He wanted Bradley in his prime and he ducked him. He wants mayweather who will decline the fight. Pacman fight might not take place. I do believe he will fight brook as money talks, however if he loses to mayweather which is a 50/50 fight he can a still fight brook. Brook beat one decent fighter on his career but his track record is not great compared to khan. Be a great fight. Khans chin may also have improved with moving weight. That said khans power is not as great as brook. His trainer has improved his defence and if he continues to not get involved in wars he could outpoint brook easily.
