Amir Khan

[delroy02]

I don't think Khan is arrogant at all, in the interviews ive seen him in, he seems like an ok down to earth bloke.

The bad thing with Khan at the moment is too many people are trying to dictate his career. I think he should stay in the amateuers until after the world championships and then turn pro.

if kahn was trhat ****ing bothered he could have paid the 20 quid entrance fee out of his ****ing grant.
cheeky little c*nt.

I'm with you mate. I'm starting to dislike the ****y little ****er but you never know, it could be his family/friends being ****s behind the scene.

These guys win a gold medal and think there supreme boxers, Harrison was exactly the same.

I dont understand the Naz thing too, the only thing Naz and Kahn have in common is their skin colour!!

I think Kahn has talent, he's overated at the moment but could do things in the pro's if he keep his floating feet on the ground long enough.

I couldn't stand it if he turned out to be another Harrison, I hate that bloke.

He could/should do well mate coz he does have alot of talent but I'd be surprised if he turned out to be anywhere near as good as Naz was at his best.

[delaboxeo]

exaclty and look waht a waste the end of his career became.
i dont like the way khan is shaping up at all.
arroganyt and he has done nothing yet compared to others and he seems to think all he has to do to win a world belt is turn up.
he will find out alright.

Hey, take it easy on Prince Naseem -- i loved watching him fight bc he was such a ****ey bastard.

Now, does boxing need another naseem -- of course not. I just hope that Khan learns to develop his own gimmick.

Here's the latest on Khan:

Warren deal ends Khan speculation
By Ron Lewis

AMIR KHAN has settled any continuing arguments over his future by signing an agreement to turn professional with Frank Warren, The Times can reveal. However, Khan, the Olympic silver medal-winner, may have time for one last hurrah as an amateur by facing Mario Kindelán, his Athens conqueror.

After winning the lightweight silver medal at last summer’s Games, the chances of Khan resisting the lure of the professional game for four years to go to Beijing in 2008 always seemed slim. After the shock of seeing Khan dropped on his backside against Craig Watson in the opening round of the ABA Championships, a trip to China for the World Championships this year and next year’s Commonwealth Games in Melbourne have now also been excluded.

The deal with Warren, which could see Khan earn ?00,000 in his first year, was verbally agreed ten days ago, at the time Khan was withdrawn from his ABA Championships quarterfinal against Johnny Martin in Norfolk, saying that he had not been given enough tickets.

Since then the contracts have been with Khan’s lawyer, who approved them at the end of last week. The deal is unlikely to be announced until next month, though, when Khan will have his next and final amateur bout on April 16 at the Reebok Stadium, Bolton, which will be a fundraising event for his club, Bury ABC.

Khan’s withdrawal from the ABAs quickly became a public relations disaster for him and his close group of family and advisers. In their haste to find an exit route, not only was the ticket row exposed as a farce but comments were made against hard-working and unpaid ABA officials that bordered on the disgraceful.

Keen to avoid any more controversy, the family has asked Warren to help to promote the Bolton show, where Khan could have faced Kindelán, the 34-year-old Cuban double Olympic and triple world champion. Khan will not box in the Four Nations versus Cuba international match in Liverpool on April 8.

Kindelán retired after his Athens success, then decided to continue. He has a sister living in Carlisle and is keen to visit England. He has offered to face Khan at either lightweight or light-welterweight ?where Khan boxed in the ABA Championships ?and has also offered his services to the ABA to coach youngsters here.

Clinton Woods, the new IBF light-heavyweight champion, is unlikely to rush into a defence against Joe Calzaghe, the WBO super-middleweight champion. Woods produced a brilliant display to stop Rico Hoye, of the United States, in five rounds for the vacant title in Rotherham on Friday night.

“I think it’s just about sunk in now,?Woods said yesterday. “My dream would be a match with Glen Johnson (who outpointed him last year) or Bernard Hopkins, if he is moving up to lightheavyweight. I signed to face Joe eight months ago, but two weeks into training camp they pulled out.

“I’m a fan of Joe. I love the way he fights, but he hasn’t been operating at a high enough level. If he is as good as Frank Warren says, he should have gone to the US and taken his chances there by now.?

Something about him reminds me of Prince Naseem.

Is it the fact that he is brown and from U.K

[barryboy]

Nah mate it was when he said he'd be world champion by 21 and retire a legend by 25, if that doesn't sound like Naz then I don't know what does Can't speak for anybody else but it was just that one comment that reminded me of Naz, not saying his whole personality or anything

[Lol999]

Listening to the commentators Richie Woodall et al after the haye/Kelly fight Khan is after a farewell hurrah in Bolton but has absolutely no intention of facing his Athens conqueror again, even at the Bolton event which has been offered. This smacks of fear, defeatism, call it what you will. The guy should accept the challenge and if he's as good as he says turn it round this time. If he's running scared in the amateurs what's he gonna do in the pro's when he gets called out?

Lol
