Amir Khan

[SM]

what do you all think about him? i thought he did well against kindelan in the olympics and his overall performance was pretty good but he seems to be getting too big for his boots!

[Jahangir Khan]

He has a huge following now and he expects to be treated more favourably after winning a silver medal for his country. He also realises that he can't be a boxer for his whole life and so he wants to turn pro asap so that he can get the recognition that he deserves aswell as the money. If you see Naseem Hamed, he was finished before the age of 30 so maybe Amir wants to follow in a similar pattern.

It also seems that others around Amir are trying to guide him but too many people telling him what to do might be confusing him as to what he should do for the best.

[HAFRIDI]

i think he'll turn anutha nas

[Assara K]

obviously nas is way better but inshallah amir will improve in time to come but i do think it is a mistake that he is pro so soon

[HAFRIDI]

is or was assara?

[sajjad]

havent heard about him for a while...
hope he wins the GOLD next time around

[nufc]

I always see him in trafford centre he always lets on. Hes always there in the arcades trying to get in with girls all the time!

[Assara K]

lol

nas IS better, but if Amir just keeps on doin what he's doin there's no reason he can't be better!!!

[Abdul Qadir 236]

Naseem was great and a real showman as well which is why i liked him.
I love Amir Khan, makes me so proud to be British.
hated the Pakistanis at the Olympics trying to hijack him.

[Abdul Qadir 236]

damn

ur sister seems nice too

[Assara K]

how can you say that about suraja??

"nice" ???......its all down to genes!!

[Abdul Qadir 236]

because she doesnt have anything to do with me!
quite simple.
i am glad i have supportive friends like u :D

[Assara K]

i am glad i have supportive friends like u :D

well.....i try my best! B)

[Abdul Qadir 236]

mmmmmm very modest Miss Karim.
another one of ur good traits.

[Assara K]

nothing to do with you......thats an understatement!

[Abdul Qadir 236]

yeah sadly.
her choice and frankly i dont blame her, do u?

[Hash]

Gary-
'hated the Pakistanis at the Olympics trying to hijack him'

So you hate Amir Khan's mother then? His mother was waving the Pakistani flag.

[Abdul Qadir 236]

see thats not what i said and u know it!
i hate the idea, not his mum personally!
he is British, proud to be and I am proud he is too.

[Hash]

Gary- your great fun to have arguments (arguments not the right word.....debate) with! Was just trying to get one started but never mind lol.

[Abdul Qadir 236]

lol u can wind me up like a clockwork toy.
i might be from N.Ireland but very proud to be in UK.
Hash, how close is the relationship between Lib Dems in GB and Alliance Party here in N.ireland?

[Hash]

Gary- as far as my local Lib Dems are concerned.......NON EXISTENT!

Have not done anything for the national lib dem party. I suppose something like that would go through them.

[Abdul Qadir 236]

oh ok they mentioned it on their site.
ur NI spokesman is from here - Lembit Opik.
have to say i like Vince Cable - very good.
u confident ahead of council elections?

[Hash]

well in my locality I am it is 80% certain Lib Dems will get in.

Was traditionally a Tory 'safe seat' but in 1997 Jenny Tonge won it and held it again in 2001. Jenny Tonge is now retiring because her daughter died of electricution (dodgy wiring.......she had her kitchen refitted and she turned on the dish washer and that was that) so she is going to spend some more time with her grand children.

[Abdul Qadir 236]

yes i remember that, was tragic.
are u in the north east or south west?
they are lib dem strongholds.
many seats were safe for Tories and UUP but no longer.

[Hash]

I'm in SW London/Surrey if you like

[SM]

this is a thread about amir khan - this should go on the election thread! lol.

[nufc]

raas u feelin orite hes not proud to be british i dont think anyone is! The only reason that he represented GB is so he could make a name for himself, do u think he would have got this much publicity if he represeneted pakistan. He would have just been another boxer......

[Abdul Qadir 236]

dont you dare talk nonsense about my country.

[Jameel]

:)) :)) :))

[nufc]

i live in GB as well but i aint proud to be british

[Abdul Qadir 236]

well u know where u can go then!!!
i dont even live on the island of GB but I am 100000% British.

[SM]

i agree with nufc. he's playing up to all the publicity - would never have got it fighting for pakistan. khan himself that it was his first choice but GB was better (maybe because of all the money from publicity!!)

[Abdul Qadir 236]

if u can fight u can fight.

[SM]

well i'm not doubting his ability but he should take one step at a time- shouldnt get too far ahead of himself. he just managed to win his fights after the olympics - hows he gonna make pro? apparently his younger bro, haroon is better than him!

[Abdul Qadir 236]

he should not turn pro til after Beijing.
money talks...................................

[SM]

he has said that he wants to go pro asap. his last fight is on the 30th of this month and will turn pro soon after with frank warren. we'll just have to support his brother at the next olympics.

[Abdul Qadir 236]

yeah am i only one who would rather watch amateur boxing?

[SM]

i like it in general. dont mind what i watch. cant wait for danny williams comeback

[Jameel]

Boxing is boring thesedays. Ever since Lewis retired and Tyson has declined, there aren't any great fighters left. Klitshcko is nothing and would be destroyed by Tyson at his peak. The featherweight division is a bit interesting though with Morales, Barrerra and Pacquiao.

[Abdul Qadir 236]

yes morales and berrerra was an incredible fight.
Lewis is nothing to Iron Mike at his peak.
go Eamon Magee!

[SM]

what do you think of danny williams?

[Abdul Qadir 236]

nothing special. caught tyson at a bad time.
lol who remembers Julius 38 seconds Francis?
Danny Williams mashallah being Muslim!

[SM]

he is a very good muslim and a very nice guy at that!.

[Jameel]

Nothing special. He beat a Tyson who was years past his sell by date.

If Klitshco can outbox him like he did, I don't think much of him.

[Abdul Qadir 236]

mashallah
is it a co-incidence Amir is Pathan and a good fighter?
what was Naseem? doesnt sound a Pathan.

[Jameel]

Naseem was an arab. He was from Yemen.

[nufc]

tysons a muslim too for those who dint know!

[SM]

what a great muslim role model he is. not. williams hurt his shoulder during the fight yet tried to carry on.

[nufc]

Boxing is against islam well he shouldnt be hitting other people in the face anyways especially another muslim! So i wouldnt say williams is a good muslim!

[Abdul Qadir 236]

well i am no judge, i guess only Allah is right?

[SM]

i agree.

[Abdul Qadir 236]

ya the ? is because as u know i aint Muslim!

[nufc]

yeh but im sayin yall are singing his praises of being a good muslim im sayin why hes not.

Prophet Muhammad pbuh was the best example to follow!

Not trying to cause an argument but your username......................

[Abdul Qadir 236]

i am not Muslim so hope that isnt aimed at me.

[nufc]

no but the bottom bit is

[Abdul Qadir 236]

good, it is designed for maximum annoyance.
when i changed it people didnt like so brought this one back.

[nufc]

lol please request the mods to change it please im beggin u!

[Abdul Qadir 236]

and how i'll rub it in on sunday!

[nufc]

who is he anyways?

*** - it was aba officials that said first of all that he was too young to compete - SO DONT BLAME THE PAKISTAN OFFICIALS - same happened with haider ali at commonwelath games, aba officials didnt select him so pakistan did - he won his division BEATING INDIAN IN FINAL AFTER beating british participant in semi convincingly - he is a good boxer- get ur facts right

[w4s1m786]

what has happened to ali haider anyone kno?

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

danny williams - some ppl mentioned to him that he may have to have his beard off before he fought klitschko but he said he would pull out if he had to do that - leave the guy alone, he is a great guy

[MecnunK]

His jaw needs all the protection it can get.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

he is a good boxer - had wrong strategy against klitschko - went in too heavy and also didnt really utilise head movement which is crucial wehn facing a taller man - a good boxer - he could easily be a world champ - he can beat likes of
wba champ - john ruiz(although he is likely to be dethrowned by james toney)
wbo champ - lamon brewster who is just average
ibf champ - chris byrd - he would be harder, is a southpaw but danny could take him as well

[MecnunK]

ibf champ - chris byrd - he would be harder, is a southpaw but danny could take him as well

And was battered beyond belief by Sinan who is something like 11 or 12 in the rankings. I do'nt think Danny has the chin to survive against decent hitters.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

mec - sinan samil sam is an average fighter - that is problem with danny - one day he is unstoppable the next he just doesnt fight upto his standard - another poor loss was againt michael sprott, williams has potential to be a world champ. after all lennox lewis lost to rahman and even mccall!!

[MecnunK]

That was my point, Sinan is average and he gave serious punishment to Danny, knocked him down countless times.

I do'nt rate Lewis either. He got the championship when there was nobody decent i.e. Tyso was past it and Holyfield was already like 130. Bruno well the less said the better and he was extremely lucky against Klitschko as klit got his eye cut badly and he fights like a robot. Rahman and MCcall the crying boy knocking him out were some of the sweetest moments I have seen in boxing where Lewis is concerned.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

LOL - i laughed so much when rahman closed his eyes - swung and knocked lewis out - was great. A legend may be caught out once but twice??? in such poor instances - against rahman - lewis gave himself 9 days to condition himself and prepare for conditions in south africa and that is just arrogance

[Oxy]

The 'non-boxing' comments attributed to Lennox Lewis have been deleted

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

ok oxy

[MecnunK]

you also deleted some boxing comments.

[Oxy]

I know...but to seperate the boxin/non-boxing comments from each individual post would have taken too long.

Such is life....

[MecnunK]

Fine. A bit harsh IMO considering some of the stuff that does get posted sometimes and stays posted but anyhow I am not well versed in the arcane science of equality in censorship.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

np oxy!!

[Assara K]

has anyone got any info about amir's.......fiance? :(

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

gary did - apparently it was in one of the trashy newspapers - sun or news of world or something like that he said

[Assara K]

i dunno if i believe it or if its just rumours the source was apparently a "family friend".....it could be anyone!

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

it was meant to be an arranged marriage - gary did say something about it

[Assara K]

i think amir is WAY TOO influenced by his dad and HIS decisions rather then his own....its fine that they obviously wanna be involved but amir should have courage to speak up and say what he really wants to do!

thats where all this becoming a pro talk comes in...

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

well he shouldnt turn pro yet- he would get eaten alive by certain boxers - although signing with frank warren would mean he would get to face 30 easy opponents before he steps up

[Assara K]

i agree he should NOT turn pro yet-he hasnt got the expeirience once he loses a match he'll be finished!!

amir has alot of potential to do well in pro boxing....just not at the moment!

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

yep - similar story to "amazing" alex arthur - won silver at amateur world champs - turned pro with frank warren - hyped as next big thing - won commonwelath belt - got smashed by michael gomez once and took him 2 years to recover from that to get back on track!

[Assara K]

my point exactly! ;)+

[Abdul Qadir 236]

lets hope he isnt another British young talent that falls by the wayside.

[SM]

assara,
ive heard about that too. apparently he has agreed to an arranged marriage. dont know anything about her though

[Abdul Qadir 236]

sabhla her name, shes same age as him, from Pakistan.
shes really nice girl. they were shy at first but with a little push in the right direction hit it off.

[SM]

how do you know all this?

[Geordie Ahmed]

how do you know all this?

He doesnt! he is repeating what a trashy newspaper wrote AND the funny thing is he takes its word as gospel :))) :))) :))) :)))

[SM]

you cant believe all you read. especially not those trashy papers - get a proper one to read!!

[Geordie Ahmed]

you cant believe all you read. especially not those trashy papers - get a proper one to read!!

The trashy papers are PRO Conservative i think so thats why he loves them

[SM]

lolll

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

i agree - the sun and news of world arent newspapers - dirt sheets in my opinion - ARE NOT TRUE PAPERS

[Abdul Qadir 236]

lol well its all true.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

well it is gary - those are trashy papers

[Abdul Qadir 236]

all papers have too much vulgarity.
Sun does reflect the views of the British people though, that cant be argued.

[SM]

well you cant really compare the times, independent, guardian etc to the sun or news of the world. now they are vulgar.

[Assara K]

well you cant really compare the times, independent, guardian etc to the sun or news of the world. now they are vulgar.

i agree!

[Abdul Qadir 236]

Independent who cares? nonsense paper!!
Sun reflect what the people think.
however i hate the images of half clad women.

[Geordie Ahmed]

all papers have too much vulgarity.
Sun does reflect the views of the British people though, that cant be argued.

Take out Page 3 and their sales would dwindle. Its not saying much when a newspaper relies not on interesting articles or accurate news but relies on BREASTS [-( [-( [-(

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

I AGREE GEORDIE - SUN SUCKS - TRASH NEWSPAPER - it is laughed at

[Abdul Qadir 236]

most read in UK
most representative of what the people think.

[Assara K]

which papers do you read the most then.....if not the sun?

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

well gary - why do ppl read the sun - sure aint for their great thought provoking political debates or great sports supplements

[Geordie Ahmed]

well gary - why do ppl read the sun - sure aint for their great thought provoking political debates or great sports supplements

:))) :))) :))) :))) :))) :))) :)))

Its all about the JUGS and Gary knows that! its a trashy newspaper

[Abdul Qadir 236]

assara u read the mail or express?
i would like 2 read ur mind lol
Amjad, my dad brought me up on it from 2.
he bought it because was a Tory paper and it reflects what his political thinking is.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

why not the "torygraph" - better newspaper and is conservative and is actually thought provoking

[Abdul Qadir 236]

lol its to the right of the mass thinking in this country.

[HAFRIDI]

the language of the sun is for a 7 year old! so my business teacher says;)

try reading guardian, times,;)

[HAFRIDI]

personally i like reading the mirror

[Assara K]

yeah i think the mirror's aite aswell!

[SM]

better than the sun or the news of the world!!

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

LOL i agree - i read either the times, the daily telegraph, sometimes the guradian and the mirror

[Assara K]

erm.....does anyone read the M.E.N??? @-)

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

it is ironic gary is againt the EU - when he himself wants to stay part of the UK - this idea we are british - they should unite ireland and fast! and the ppl that dont want it should move to mainland - but where gary? wales - that would mean ur welh then? or still british?

[Assara K]

isn't this thread supposed to be about the one and only...... :P

does anyone have any other info on him?...is there a way he could be contacted?

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

well he signed a 3yr contract wit frank warren - who i really dont like - he says he will take him down same path as joe calzaghe and hatton - i hope not otherwise amir will have to wait 30 odd fights before a title shot and fight south american waiters in mean time.

He isnt as talented as naz was but he can go a long way - doesnt mess about as much as naz did - seems to have better work ethic - if he keeps his feet on ground then he will go long way - but can he handle the mexicans - i say no - but he could win a lesser version of the world title - WBO

[w4s1m786]

inshallah this guy will be a world beater, im planning on going to his fight on the 16th or the 17th if tickets are made available

[Hussain]

boy this guy shud play for Pakistan

[HAFRIDI]

y??

[amanat786]

He just wants the money
