Well I haven't wrote anything for a week or so but a few goings on during this time have really grabbed my attention. Ok a lot has been wrote and said about Amir Khan during his career and my take on it was a lot of it seemed harsh and some of it maybe even a bit racist! I for one cant understand how people can say he isn't talented and is a hype job? Ever since his loss everyone has slated the poor guy for having a glass jaw but lets face it look at all the greats they all have losses except for a handful! He was young he went in gung ho and has learnt from it since with a bounce back which I didn't think he would have done! What annoyed me during this time is everybody saying he was ducking Maidana and that once he got in the ring he would out box him to an easy victory or Maidana would get lucky and catch him and KO him. Well the fight turned out how not many would have guessed at with them going toe to toe and Maidana hitting him with all he had and him still coming back and getting the win. I read posts in the following weeks slating him again!My take on that fight is Khan wanted to prove he could go all out with the biggest banger in the division and therefore closing the door shut on the glass jaw debate I think most would agree if he wanted to he could have picked him off all night but didn't! Basics of it is he cant win he is always going to get slated. But I do have this to say and it has quite put me off Khan since is the wrangle with sky TV UK in the fact that the under-card fell apart and sky dropped it from PPV as I believe they didn't want to have another fight on along the lines of Haye v Harrison in doing this they switched the fight to sky sports 3 Khan took this fight stating it was a fight for the fans back in the UK but when it came down to it more fans would have been able to watch it and if it was really for the fans what would be the problem in showing the fight on sky sports 3?It wasn't for the fans it was greed and a pocket filler before fighting back in the US!The fight was switched to little known prime time tv channel and fans had to pay to view the fight against little more than cannon fodder for Khan!I think the boos at the end of the fight rang true with what had happened in the run up and I also think that they had been fully deserved! On that note the fight was stopped for that cut does anyone remember our true peoples hero Ricky Hitman Hatton with his wars could you imagine one of his fights getting stopped for that cut?
In short if he wants to be the peoples champ do so! That fight should have been left to sky sports 3 in switching you come across like a spilt child who didn't get what he wanted(to fleece the fans you came home to appease )
