If Khan was on ESPN

[MrMagoo1986]

would you support him (if you dont already), and do you think hell beat salita

[Dan684]

Yep i'd support him. Does TV have any influence on peoples support :huh

Yeah I think he'll outpoint Salita off the back foot much in the same way he did against Kotelnik. Will be a little easier for him too because Salita would come to throw punches too, thus opening gaps for Khan to explore. AS LONG AS HE KEEPS WORKING ON HIS DEFENSE THAT IS. Still needs improving as the fights come along

[MrMagoo1986]

well i keep hearing some retards say khan shouldnt be on ppv and u know the whole "id never pay 15quid to see khan" crap, so i figured if his fights were on ESPN would there opinion change

[Losfer_Words]

What kind of question is that? Yeah, Haye was amazing before he went to SBO as well:roll::lol:. Of course people would still support him. It would be better for me if he's on ESPN as I don't pay extra for it, though.

[SouthpawSlayer]

why would i change whatever view i have on him because he changes from sky to espn

[GazOC]

Is this likely to happen?

[Dan684]

Ah right got you now mate :good

I understand what there saying. He shouldn't be on PPV but the way I see it is its not really his fault and not really his place to get involved. Lets face it, if ****** offered you shed loads of money you'd do it wouldn't you. I know I would. Young fighters can't really afford to fuck ****** off. If he'd have been with Maloney/Hennesey after the Prescott fight he'd have been waiting years for the chance to fight a name like Barrera and then get a title shot.

Khan's business is in the ring and unless he constantly takes poor defenses then i'll be a fan.

[MrMagoo1986]

Because ive read constantly that some ppl wont support khan because hes on box office and he was on box office too early. I understand wat u guys mean an opinion of a boxer shouldnt be determined wheter theyre on terrestrial tv or ppv etc, but there are ppl who think like that

[GazOC]

TBH when people blame a fighter for fights being PPV (and not the TV or promoter) it usually means they didn't like the fighter in the first place and are just looking for an excuse to have a pop at them.

[GladiatoR]

Khan's going to get exposed again soon enough.

I won't pay to watch him on PPV if the undercard is full of Olympians vs bums...

ok i see your point

not really as espn is still ppv in its own way, they show no other boxing so i would be paying 14 euro a month to see amir fight once every 5 months

[Dan684]

Gladiator that last Khan fight had a STACKED undercard. Obviously it wasn't great for the Sky viewers but for those who got to see it live. I was kept entertained throughout

They didn't show the Enzo, Mitchell or Brook fight on TV though. I had to watch Olympians beating bums instead.

MY POINT EXACTLY ON THIS THREAD:patsch

[Dan684]

Gladiator thats why I said obviously it wasn't great for those watching on Sky :good

MrMagoo - Is this gonna turn out to be a cleverely concealed hate thread :huh

[Grant1]

Yes I would.

Doubt I would if he was on Sky Box Office.

Defo wouldn't if he was on Sky Sports 1 or 3.

Possibly if on Sky Sports 2.

Terrestrial TV - don't even go there.

[widdy]

nah,id want him to win,but i won't pay extra,not now,used to have the lot,then relised how we get ripped off,nearly 60quid a month,for shit loads of repeats,then they wanna charge u again to watch sum overpaid sportsmen,ie footballers and khan(how much did he get for signing with ******),so that people like ****** and football clubs can get sum dosh back for there overpaid primadonnas,treat us like mugs,twats:rasta

NOPE Im a Khan fan, i think he gets a lot of unfair criticism. I was impressed at the kotelnik fight, but was surprised at some of the stuff being chanted at the M.E.N.
Khan i think will be a big star in the coming years and wish him well, ive met him and have to say he is a very nice lad :thumbsup

With that chin - he's going nowhere.

[Dan684]

Nowhere :huh

He's world champion already :lol:

[Grant1]

Worlds Greatest loud and clear ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[GladiatoR]

Nowhere :huh

He's world champion already :lol:


Alphabet belts don't mean anything.

[GazOC]

Khan's a Fraud. It's all a mirage. He's walking through the desert of boxing and he heads for the mirage, avoiding all the good fighters. He's a joke and will be exposed as the Fraudster he is very very soon.

Thats the most half-assed metaphor I've seen in a long time....:lol:

[Dan684]

They do in reality though dont they mate. Whatever else happens and no matter how we all dislike there dealings and champion in reccess bollocks.......... Khan can always look back at his career and say... I was the world champion :good

Love how u call Khan a fraud yet uve got a picture of fraudley harrison as ur pic ha ha ha :hi:

[Losfer_Words]

With that chin - he's going nowhere.

Yeah- he'll never win a world title let alone beat a seasoned, well-schooled fighter like, um.....I don't know, Kotelnik?

Tell me why Kotelnik was such a weak champion then. Humour me.

Worlds Greatest loud and clear ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Clearly is him:good.

[Dan684]

To be fair I think the Audley Avatar is a bit of a piss take mate :good
It is clearly a poster called the worlds greatest who used to be on here a little while back and has more of a problem with Audley than Betty has with Ricky :good

[GladiatoR]

Kotelnik is a turtle.

He chased Khan around the ring all night with his guard up, threw a punch now and again and still managed to hurt Khan's jaw.

[GazOC]

When that fight was announced people were saying Kotelnik was a decent opponent for Khan. Now Khan has beat him Kotelnik is shit....

[MrMagoo1986]

Kotelnik is a turtle.

Can you refresh my memory, when did kotelnik hurt khan? who do u think khan should fight next and wat would it take for khan to earn ur respect?

[Losfer_Words]

I know, Gaz, mate. It's annoying as hell. Kotelnik was never a mug and a very good opponent for Khan- especially given his 'glass jaw' that wouldn't hold up at 140. Now Kotelnik is a guy with a padded record who previously held an alphabet title:-(. Some people never give credit where it's due, unfortunately.

[GladiatoR]

Khan in the locker room afterwards was complaining about his jaw hurting.

I'll give credit to him beating Kotelnik.

But realistically, he's never going to go where some people think he will.

[GazOC]

A Mere Con himself even said Kot was the worst of all the champions in ALL the divisions. He is slow, lacks power and doesn't have quick feet - ideal for A Mere to box rings round.

You're just twisting things, he said that as a piss take the week before the fight was announced.

[felix]

Guys no point banging your head against a brick wall, i got a feeling this was going to turn into a khanbashing thread. just let the noobs say their shit, your wasting your time as some people are just nobs.

[MrMagoo1986]

THIS WASNT MEANT TO BE A KHAN BASHING THREAD!!! like i said before im a khan fan, think he did brilliantly against kotelnik, i think hell comfortably beat salita too. I think hell go far, and has done brilliantly to become a world champion. I think one should give credit where credit is due, he is a talent and now with roach i think hell be one of the best britain has produced. BUT...... there is no but, khan i think will become a star on the world scene!

[GazOC]

:lol: .. Tell me who are worse champions than Kot? He was obviously the worst LWW ABC champ and one of if not the worst champ next to Valuev in all the divisions.


Its not me thats rating the champs, it was Khan and he was taking the piss. Clearly the 'joke' went over your head.

[GazOC]

Khan has the fastest hands in boxing right now, good accuracy and amazing workrate. Khan is probably one of my favourite boxers that are active now. But I know he's not going anywhere near the top with that chin. If had a great chin, he'd be the best 140 in a few years.

But he doesn't and I'm being realistic about his chances and his future career. I can't see him beating someone like Bradley with a chin like that and when he gets pressured he's going to buckle.

Thomas Hearns didnt have the best chin either and look at how his career turned out

i agree with this(apart from the favourite thingie),also his power is not so good at world level.

khan has and will never be my fave fighter,but i held my hands up cos he did well against koltinik,a tough but preditable boxer:bbb

[widdy]

:roflfunny guy:rofl

[GladiatoR]

But he had a dominate jab and crazy power.

His chin wasn't as a bad as Khan's either.

[widdy]

and leonard,barkley,hagler and someone else at lightheavy or cruiser ko'd him,not err presscott

[MrMagoo1986]

that left hook that ko'ed khan wouldve knocked out most ppl at the weight, hatton even admitted it wouldve knocked him out (not that it takes alot). but yh seriously that left hook was vicious

[MrMagoo1986]

yh he doesnt have a great chin, but hes got heart, and skill, and determination aswell as a genius in freddie roach. even with a "glass jaw" hes become a world champ so lets see wat the future holds, i will keep a much more open minded view than the "hes a glass jaw fraud bla bla bla hes not going anywhere bla bla bla" approach

[GazOC]

that left hook that ko'ed khan wouldve knocked out most ppl at the weight, hatton even admitted it wouldve knocked him out (not that it takes alot). but yh seriously that left hook was vicious

You think Khan has a better chin than hatton?

[MrMagoo1986]

You think Khan has a better chin than hatton?

nope not at all, but i dont think hatton was that good to begin with.

as for khan losing to limmond, he didnt, he was simply following the refs count, it was clear he wasnt hurt. either way he broke the guys jaw the next round. of course khan doesnt have a good chin, all im sayin is i think hes got the right tools to take advantage of the skills he does have to become a star

[trotter]

:lol:

Yeah, and them punches from featherfisted featherweight Willie Limmond and shot to pieces Michael Gomez would of floored most guys too? Deluded fool, Con's chin is garbage, even most Con fans I would of thought would of acknowledged that.

You sound like a total dick with this 'a mere con' nonsense you know

I'm sat here embarrassed for you


Bizarre thread all round, what the frig does the channel he's on have to do with anything

because some ppl are stupid enough to blame the fighter and have hate for the fighter for being on box office. are u honestly telling me uve never heard ppl say, "id never watch khan on box office, id never pay 15quid to watch khan" . that was the point of the thread, to see if he went on espn or even itv (which wouldnt happen) would the ppl that dont like him for that reason, start supporting him

[Dan684]

Trotter I totally agree with you mate. It does my head in on here when I hear people saying stupid nick names over and over.

A mere con
Void
Margercheato

etc etc.

Its like they think that childish nicknames re-affirm whwat their point is :huh

[nickythekid]

well i keep hearing some retards say khan shouldnt be on ppv and u know the whole "id never pay 15quid to see khan" crap, so i figured if his fights were on ESPN would there opinion change

i dont think khan should be pay per view but i do pay to watch him as a fight fan. i think he will beat salita, he will beat most opponents who are not big punchers. khan is ******s golden goose at the moment till someone else comes along, i dont think he will be risked till he has laid enough eggs

[trotter]

Fair enough

I think Gaz said it already, people who don't like him for that reason just don't like him full stop, it's a convenient stick to beat him with

If he went to free TV it'll just be something else they get a hard on about

[Cobbler]

He will cherry pick for the rest of his career, he'll never get in the ring with a banger again or one of the true LWW champs.

Can you confirm who the 'true LWW champs' are for the sake of clarity?

[icemax]

With that chin - he's going nowhere.

Yes either that or when I see a fat idiot with his hands down his shorts on an avatar I normal tune out then too :-)

"Brutal KO" is my off button.:D

[Darni187]

Khan Haters they will always be there even if Khan one day becomes P4P one of the best fighters in the future. Haters is what drives Khan in the gym to train harder so keep hating.

Even if Khan quit boxing now and he turned to them haters and say you said i would never be a world champion but he did it. From a young kid it was his dream, and it became true and no one can ever take that away from him.

[icemax]

I haven't seen him for a little while, he's probably out fiddling with the local juvenile population :deal


"Brutal KO" is my off button.:-D


"He is going to be brutally KO'ed" is usually an indication that the poster is pre-16 years old, and knows fuck all about the subject :good

[slip&counter]

i'd be happy if he was on espn because it'd be more accessible to me

however wouldn't be a good move for khan's career and the exposure of boxing in general imo

It was a piss take, he said it with a big grin on his face on Bunces Hour the week before the fight was announced. Are you telling me he had no idea the fight was going to happen 7 days before the press were told? Come on.....:deal
