Its Easy to say " Paki Muslim Glad he Got Beat he Is Shit etc etc.." but the truth is anyone who dedicates their lifestyle to pugilism deserves respect in my opinion, the sacrifices and discipline you must install into you life is hard enough let alone travelling to a part of a country that your opponent resides and everyone wanting you to fail, yet we sit at home and slate him for doing something we never could.
next weekend the highly promising Kell Brook makes his american debut in Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, New Jersey against puerto rico's Luis Galarza on the undercard of Carl Froch who faces Andre Ward for the WBC, WBA, & vacant The Ring super middleweight titles.
So there are some more British Fighters you can slag off......
And please no one say the WELSH NOT BRITISH malarkey simply because wether you like it or not ( like any member of the Armed forces) they are represnting US!!

people disliking khan has absolutely nothing to do with his ethnic origin, if boxing fans dont like him then the words paki,muslim etc get branded about, nigel benn,naz,eubank,tyson,.lewis, all coloured or ethnic guys who had massive followings because they backed up their boasts, khan so far has not .I had 25 amateur bouts, i know my way around the ring but choose to not get excited about amir khan does that make me a racist?

Khan came out and very much publicy criticised the"british public" for not shelling out hard earned money to follow him,he didnt say a "smaller minority" which of course exist who discrminate based on religion
His promoters and buisness advisors(still not sure what they do) realised it was a PR disaster and khan issued a feeble apology. Thats when he truly lost the british public and why he will never draw the PPV ratings which the likes of Benn,eubank,bruno(all black men) and ricky hatton did.
Its a shame beacuse hes an exciting fighter with sublime skills but unfortunately a lousy attitude

Naz was pre 9/11 and 7/7. Do you think Naz would get a bit of the Qur'an read by a ring announcer in America now? Doubt it very much.

he's either good enough or he's not. he needs to fight mayweather now or never, no one wants to see a 36 yr old floyd past his best more concerned into his gambling than the boxing
