Don't diss me banjo, I'm warning you ;;-)

Hey I love kinky sex but whenever I brag about what me and the missus get up to in the bedroom some people seem really shocked, put off and somewhat disgusted.

It was car crash TV when he did studio work for the Froch fight on Sky, and the Primetime coverage of Marquez vs Pac III after the Peterson fight.

I suppose there was nothing he could blame on this outing, the finish was totally conclusive.

He came across better on ringside too, after this loss than his last loss. Maybe he will be even better still after the next loss, and the next loss etc after that at 147.[/quote

You have to give him credit for coming on Ringside after such bad loss, it's easy to go on Tv when you
have just won, he could have hid away for a while, until his next fight, shows how strong mentally he is, that's why he will find a way back, mental strength.

This from someone who pulled out of the ABA finals after he was floored in one of the early rounds!. I thought maybe Khan would mature and become a more rounded person as he got older but apparently he hasnt judging by his often quoted boasts of being a superstar etc or posing with a wad of cash in a stripclub etc etc etc... I just do not find him a particularly likeable or admirable guy and would feel same way about him whether he was white, black, yellow or green. I really belive that most boxing fans are the same as me, very few dislike Khan becuase of his colour or religion, it is his personality that rubs many the wrong way, just as it was with Joe Calzaghe and for a time with Carl Froch. Froch has generated more fans lately due to his walking the walk but also showing himself as a more rounded character of late. Frochs gracious manner after his defeat to Ward probably won him more fans than all his previous fights put together. Khan could learn a few things from Carl if he opened his eyes.

Wasn't he knocked out by Craig Watson?

Not sure who it was, but he was floored but won on points, only to pull out of the rest of the competition and turn pro instead. Looking back over his career it is things like this which have probably added to the problems he has now. I think he would have benifited from another year or so as a Amuteur, building on the basics etc he has never learn basic defense, and with his vulnerbility that is a fatal flaw
