Q&A with Amir Khan Empty Q&A with Amir Khan

Post by Fists of Fury Wed 24 Aug 2011, 10:58 pm

Guys

Another 'potential' Q&A. I have spoken with a couple of Amir's representatives and they think they may be able to get our questions answered by Amir. In light of that, could you all please provide me with any questions you would like me to ask him if we are given the opportunity.

Thanks

Is there a possibility of a Maidana rematch?

What's the truth behind the Ariza situation?

Were you apprehensive about the Maidana fight, given his rep as a banger and knowing that some people would be looking to gloat had you lost?

What impact do you think you have on UK boxing fans by leaving Sky sports after the Mcklosky farce... especially now GBP have jumped ship and left Sky without any good coverage of future fights? Does this also effect your stock as less people are aware of your fights?

And

You are obviously outspoken, do you think that effects the perception of boxing fans of you? E.g. using Twitter to engage in heated arguments with others and putting other boxers achievements down?

Ha, it's not a done deal just yet Galvy, but we need questions nevertheless just in case I get the thumbs up.

i'm not a big boxing fan but stumbled across this, isn't boxing considering letting pro's fight in the olympics, so if thats the case you could ask him would he want to fight in the olympics again?

Does he feel that the move to welterweight will further improve his punch resistance?

Great work Fists - hope it comes through.

Will he ever rematch Prescott?

Does he plan on staying at 140 to become undisputed champ before moving up to 147 by pursuing a fight with Bradley?

Once his career is over - will he return to the UK or stay in the States?

You have mentioned that you are Victor Ortiz are good friends - would you consider fighting him when you move up to 147?

You received a lot of bad will for going on PPV against Prescott before you had won a major title, with hindsight do you think this was the right decision?

I recently read some comments saying you would not fight Kell Brook whilst he was with Hearn, do you think it is reasonable to deny fans fights they want to see over an argument with his promoter?

You have expressed in the past your intention to retire whilst still in your twenties. You are a good looking lad, so does a career in Hollywood beckon once you hang up the gloves? What sort of roles would interest you?

What has Roach taught you that would stop Prescott landing that punch?

Your key strength seems to be your speed. If you move up to 147 will you look to work on getting competetive stopping power, or will you still try to carry the speed you have now at the risk of not having real KO power?

when you move to welterweight, you will be looking for the big fights. will you have a "settling in fight" at the weight before you go for mayweather, and if so who would you like that opponent to be?

feel free to re-word the question

Will you ever get rid of the hangers on the so called 'team Khan' who know nothing about the sport and seem to do nothing but harm your reputation and all the while there getting their pockets lined by you?

If you had to get a new trainer for any reason who would you most like to work with?

If you could fight any fighter in history who would it be? What would be the outcome?

You and David Haye are friends did you ever tell him prior to the Klitchko fight to shut up because he was making himself look a fool?

If you broke your small toe would you still fight?

Do you feel that using Twitter for having pops at other fighters is the right platform to do so? Do you sometimes think "i shouldn't have said that".... Why not just go old school and rumble in parking lots a la Holmes vs Berbick?
