Amir Khan's supra orbital (above eye) bone growth since going to USA.....

Hmmmm check the photos.. Yes I know some might say it's the camera angle, the lighting... But look at Khan's protruding bones in the profile stare down vs Alexander. It's like he's wearing putty above his eye....

Ok first 2 photos - 2014. Notice protruding supra orbital bones





The next 2 taken in 2009 - no unusual growth





Below aged 17... Now I know people grow and change but never seen someone grow deformed supra orbital bones after the age of 17; and not suffering from a growth problem (a la Valuev)



So..... What can cause these growth? Suffer HGH usage.... Guilty or not guilty?

He's from Lancashire.

Spot on post, look at a lot of the British heavies a few year back, exactly the same cheating pudenda.

This is racist. For the record and future reference I prefer to distance myself from such blatant hate posts.

Racism stinks. Let's stamp it out TOGETHER

?? By talking about PEDS on a boxing website???

Maybe wearing tight headguards and repeatedly getting punched in the head could play a part. Just a thought...

You are batsh1t crazy???!!!

What the eff has this got to do with racism???!!!! Suspecting someone of PED usage in boxing is now racist?

I can only assume you're being ironic? Explain yourself

Re above, yes he is ...

As for Khan....same camp as Manny, no surprise.

i took it as Sarcasm due to the fact any cristism against Khan the racist chants come out

I have voted no, but that's more of a naive hope than anything else. Whilst it's true that Khan and Pac shared camps and Alex Ariza as strength and conditioning guy, I just don't know. Manny's head is so massive now compared to how it was when he was younger is suspicious, but just a couple of bones growing or changing just doesn't scream PED use to me for Khan.

According to Larry O, it's very open in gyms in America what each other is taking. Maybe Khan thought if you can't beat them, join them and has started using. I sincerely hope not though.

And Larry went there to The Wild Card whilst Khan was there!

Interesting info. The Wild Card has been under deep suspicion for ages, and with good reason.

Drug testing in boxing is a shambles. Anyone who thinks the pathetic drug testing in boxing weeds anyone else doesn't know the topic well.

Athletics is the most tested sport in the world and yet clear users pass tests all the time. There was a recent programme claiming that 90% of the Russian team are taking PEDs.

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if most of the U.S. and German based fighters were on some kind of PED.

Ah sorry. I had hoped it was. Just that these days you can't fart without being accused of racism, so you can't be sure!

To be fair, isn't that the excuse Khan gives if people don't like him?

"They liked Ricky, but not me. Wah! They must be racist."

The forehead tends to get thicker after repeatedly getting hit on the same spot over a period of time, hence why boxers have mashed up looking faces after a career in the art of pugilism.

I thought about this.... But total Nonsense.... Looks at the foreheads of EG Jake Lamotta who had way, way more fights than Khan, and the gloves were smaller and made of solid horsehair, not to mention hard sparring sessions. There is no suggestion of any bone growth on his eyebrow area.

It's true? Same as any other activity, if you do it long enough bones develop into stronger bones. Like labourer will have strong bones as he physically works all day, bones just get stronger and bigger the more stress that is put on them. You can usually tell a boxer a mile off as he has developed facial bones. Lamotta had a pretty big forehead tbf?

In theory I believe some of what you're saying, but if that were the case all the old fighters would have huge protruding bones in that area but none of them do. HGH causing growth in that area is well documented. I rest my case.

The OP is probably right. If the Super, Special and All American Legend that is Lance Armstrong gets busted then anyone can!!!

I'm so cynical with Cheating in Sport, I think it's the norm rather than the exception.

I am not saying Khan uses but generally speaking PED usage in sports is much much higher than even anyone here realises.

My sport (natural BBing) does urine but knows that is purely to catch those using ON THE DAY. You can stop taking many substances a couple days out and pass the tests and so we have to sit polygraphs too which are exceptionally reliable

Personally I'm very disturbed by the OP looking at another mans supra orbital bone
