sounds pretty humble to me

What else could he say? He'd just been leathered. He couldn't exactly say ''Yeah, it was a close one. I was off, he was lucky''.

I'm glad he got beat, he was getting too big for his boots similar to Hamed, although Hamed was twice the fighter Khan is.

I'll just say that the lad is far better than me at his trade and yes he was beaten by a tougher opponent it seems.

As for Ramadam,it's only fasting from sunrise to sunset if i remember correctly so he could train/eat during the night which would also alter his bodyclock nicely ready for the fight time.So no excuse there....again in my opinion.
I think Khans arrogance as most of us see it is from his confidence as most sports people have a belief in their abilities but some peoples comes across as arrogance whereas others come across as humble but with belief....a fine line between the two dont you think?

As for Frank Warren being to blame,i am sure there is/was an whole team surrounding both Khan and Warren who would all be aiming for the right thing but i think the whole team should go back to the drawing board and decide where to go next.

My problem with khan, is not personal.Did you see nicky cookes fight before khan?.Nicky has served his time in the fight game, yet has not earned a 10th of what khan "has been given" I spoke to nicky a few weeks before Gomez fought khan.He told me Gomez was "really up for it" I put money on gomez, as i knew that khan has a glass jaw.ALL they have done with khan is "cherry pick" his opponents,and Reebok have given him bucket fulls of money in sponsorship. cookie is now world champ, and I know his earnings are really needed.They did the same with bruno in the eighties, again a hard puncher.BUT boxing isnt just about being able to hit hard thats only half the story.As soon as they get in with a hard hitter, they looked suprised when it hurts! Wonder what that other "hype job" Fraudley Harrison is gonna do when someone hits him back again, same as he did when sprotty hit him , fall over again.Didnt take much of a chance with the opponent did they? three stone lighter! what a joke.At the other end of the spectrum Calzaghe a real talent.

hey i like the guy as a person, but if u think this guys world class u r mistaken, this kid gets wobbled in most his fights, willie limond floored khan, hes british level at best, breidas prescot, is far from being world class, he was just a banger thats all, in khans division u have the likes of nate cambpell, pacman, katsidas, diaz, tbh if khan wants the respect hes after he needs to work his way to the level of these fighters, which in my opinion will never happen, khan earns over a mill a fight and thats on the back of a silver medal, audrey harrison was also earning more or less the same off the back of his gold medal, there both mediocar as far as im concerned and dont deserve that type of money, especially when u have guys out there with granite chins and silky boxing skills who have no hype atall and r earning 20 grand a fight

davetherave

is it true he's broke his jaw?

sonofwacky

it just proves he;s not ready for world title .back to drawing board for the wee man

When I hear Khan talk I don't hear a "hungry" fighter, i hear a fighter who's got bucket fulls of money and that I think is his problem (apart from his chin), but on the other hand hes only 21 and this will either make or break him, If I had to bet it would be the latter. Warren blamed his new trainer for "hand picking " his opponent, Warrens an a$$hole, ask Terry Marsh
