Prince Naseem and Amir Khan do have more in common than their faith and their large noses.
They were promoted in exactly the same way, touted as being the greatest, put in the ring with suspect inferior opponents that they could beat up and brag about. Never being put in the ring with a decent opponent and still making MILLIONS more than any other fighter in their division because of the hugely lucrative sponsorship and advertising deals they made in the Middle East and Islamic countries. Once Prince Naseem and his army of duped Muslim AND British fans had been milked for all they were worth he was put in the ring with a decent fighter, got humiliated and exposed as a fraud then disappeared into early retirement a very rich man.
Amir Khan was being promoted in exactly the same way, the difference is Amir Khan believed Frank Warrens hype and demanded to be taken seriously and demanded a world title shot within a year, this meant he would have to take on serious fighters and serious contenders, other boxers who were on the hunt for a title shot. His demands were met, he got the fight he wanted, he got knocked the fuck out.
He is still a very rich young man, far richer than his skill level warranted, much like Prince Naseem. So you see, its not just the nose they have in common, it's also the hype, the money and unfortunately, the jaw.
good post cupid, made me think
