[edit] Khan

Personally, I think this paragraph is rubbish:

One of Britain's rising stars, 2004 Olympic Silver Medalist Amir Khan, is seen by many a somewhat heavier successor to Naseem Hamed. Beyond superficial resemblance, Khan shares Hamed's high level of confidence and penchant for flash. Hamed has been on hand to root for Khan in professional bouts on more than one occasion. Some would argue that aside from being of British-Asian decent that the two have little to nothing in common, based on the fact that Khan always treats his opponents with respect and is constantly seen as being humble.

Anyone else agree? I tempted to remove it completely. Stu ’Bout ye! 08:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Maybe it could be placed in Amir Khan? -Inahet 19:13, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't see the point in mentioning it anywhere. The only link is that they are both of Asian descent, which isn't worth mentioning. Stu ’Bout ye! 19:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
I agree, the "confidence and penchant for flash" and British-Asian connection are a similarity, but many boxers who fall into one or indeed both camps --TacoJim 14:57, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

hamed isnt asian but arab

[edit] Neutrality warning

I don't understand why the article has a neutrality warning. There is no discussion of it here. The article reads as fairly neutral to me (not that I know anything about boxing); possibly there is rather a lot of discussion of his decline, but not extremely so. So I have taken the liberty of removing the notice, since there is no discussion of it here and it seems unwarranted. Ben Finn 16:12, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

The only thing I found bias was the "spectacular ring entrances", which were flashy and long but not all spectacular. Of course its only my opinion. Maya Levy 20:00, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speed limit

Apart from the fact that overtaking over a solid white line is illegal, can anyone add to the article the speed limit of the road in question --81.105.251.160 02:06, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why were the pictures removed

is there a meaning for removing the pictures??? they WERE necessary, you know!!! --Too Cool 12:21, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

It appears that they were deleted, maybe they were not of fair use. --Inahet
Is it possible to locate a picture of Hamed without any copyright protections? Perhaps with a title? Lincoln187 08:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

He was also european champion

[edit] Revocation of honour

I've been trying to find other people who've had UK honours revoked - if there are several it could merit a new category. So far I've only found Lester Pigott Pontificake 13:48, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
