Give me 5 Amir Khans to go into battle with over 500 of the non competetitors who knock him and i,ll be confident ! From a boxing point of view the fight went exactly as most people predicted Khan did well for as long as he could keep him away......if you dont like him because he,s a Muslim have enough about yourself to say so......but he is the type of fighting man that other fighting men admire. Very true words them gnash he certainly has the heart. Khan is a brilliant boxer who got beat by a bigger fighter no shame in that. This nonsense about having a chin he has gone down but who would after them punches by big hitters Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,662 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 gnasher he's fecking rubbish, admit it. I do admire him for fighting a bigger man, but he couldn't beat all at his own weight 1st before moving up. So it may have been more foolish of his trainers and himself for doing so In top level sport you win some you lose some......if you are rubbish you dont compete in top level sport Link to post Share on other sites
MickC 1,825 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) To be fair to Khan every time he has been stopped it has been a World class job,and last night was no different unfortunately. Now to see if Canelo has a pair of balls half as big as Khans and fights GGG later this year.If the fight with GGG does happen he will have to stop Canelo to get the decision as they wont give him it on points due to how much money Canelo generates,last night I had Khan winning four of the first six rounds but he was behind on two of the judges scorecards so no suprises there as Canelo has had a few decisions go his way when he clearly should have lost in them fights. Right now the biggest match up in Boxing is the fight between Canelo and GGG and like I say I hope it happens sometime this year,Canelo will earn more respect fighting and maybe losing to GGG than he ever will avoiding the fight with him. On another note I thought Crolla did really well to win last night and at least Gallagher got the tactics spot on unlike the tactics he used for Quigg in the Frampton fight .

Astanley 11,466 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 If your in a competitive sport ,I always think you should aim for the stars ,if you don't strive to go beyond your capabilities you will never know how good you are ,those that succede never have the "I did well to get this far " attitude ,we should admire those sportsmen ,but I honestly believe the public generally feel a bit of resentment ,born out of envy and an awareness that most don't possess this mindset , If Leicester had collapsed in the last few weeks and came second ,I truly believe they would of been ridiculed by the press and sections of the public for having the cheek to think they could do it . I don't have that attitude which is probably why I never amounted to be anything ,but I do admire those who have it . 5 Link to post Share on other sites
