Amir's a good lad. No other British boxer has defended their world title successfully on American soil as many times as he has. Nice guy too, wish him all the success in retirement
I really did not expect to enjoy this interview as much as I did, Amir Khan came across so genuine and down to earth, top guy and great content as always on the overlap
I do like Amir Khan. His gloves are off with Kell Brook was absolutely golden. Brook obviously got the last laugh retiring him but he took the loss well and was very graceful in defeat.
Brook must be thinking I beat this guy I should be getting all the praises & all the big shows like these but since that fight khan been everywhere. It goes to show how BIG khan really is Brook beat him but khan carried British boxing on his back for a long time & also khan career is another level to brook. Apart from porter & khan Brook didn't really beat the best of the best in they prime.
@@tanny786 mate if you think brook was happy with just getting paid your mad brook wants that amir khan fame khan gets more recognition globally that's what Brooks after outside the UK not many people know who brook is
Honest lad. Had great ability but not quite up to it at the very top level for a prolonged period of time. Never ducked anyone and earned his fortune for him and his family doing what he loved. Can't say fairer than that. Bravo Amir 👏
Agree with the “prolonged period of time” bit but there was a year or so where Khan was regarded as the best 140 pounder in the world. When Tim Bradley ducked him and chose not to fight him at that point Khan was the man at 140. But yes it wasn’t for long but still, for someone to regarded as numero uno in the world for however long is still a great achievement.
Loved watching his fights from the beginning to the end, never a dull fight. ThT vulnerability he had with getting hurt, and the way he would bite down on the mouth piece and go for it. Thanks for the memories, brilliant actions and skill win or loose
Sometimes too brave for his own good. I remember when he was hurt against Maidana in the 10th round and the American commentators were questioning why he wasn’t choosing to hold onto Maidana and instead was trying to fight him even whilst hurt. Epic. Managed to survive that round and come out and win the next 2! Always exciting!
I really feel over time people will appreciate Amir's legacy a bit more - never ducked a fight and stepped up to risk his career constantly - was mad to take on Canelo with the weight difference but proved he's a true fighter.
@@oceanfive5 Your allowed to have duel nationality You need to email home office to change the law to please you, Your delivery driver Car wash workers Taxi drivers Most are Pakistani without them you won't survive
Honestly he could've gone so far man. He's like a video game character where you max out speed and have 0 health. He even used to have a chin before, watch his maidana fight. Any man that goes the distance with maidana, and wins, has a fantastic chin. But hes decline was too early to make him truly great. He definetly has one of the fastest hands in boxing.
@@johnn9031 Thing is, once you suffer a massive knockout like the one Canelo gave him, you lose your chin. It becomes easier and easier to get knocked out. I think he would have had a stronger chin if he’d kept to his weight class and not get hit like that.
Tbf to him he has a point on the Mayweather fight. Khan in his prime outboxed pretty much most of his opponents, it was his chin that let him down, and Mayweather isn't a knockout fighter... I'd still back money as he always found a way but it would have been closer than people will give Khan credit for
Forget undefeated. The biggest compliment you can give a Boxer is that they never ducked anybody. Show me an undefeated fighter & i’ll show you somebody who didn’t fight the best of their generation. 99.9% of the time. Khan never ducked anybody. I’m from Bolton & this warrior did us proud most of the time. A few hiccups along the way but nobody’s perfect.
Mari is so genuine and he has done soo much for so many people. His charity work in this country has been commendable - he deserved all the praise. (Still a joy thinking of him eating strawberries like a naughty kid then totally denying it afterward - gold)
i still believe as i always have whether its popular or not that hes right, the only person capable at the time of beating mayweather was khan because of his explosive combinations and his lightning speed
Always seems a genuine, honest guy - maybe not got the best chin, but there's no questioning his heart. Always put on a show and does a lot of great charity work too, top bloke 👏🏻

The thing with this guy is that while he might not have been the best, but he never ducked a fight and I will always respect that about him. For a long while he was our only representation in the US when they were dominating everything. Went there won the belts, beat some big names, Zab Judah, Maidana, Malinaggi. Good times. Gave it everything and his charity work has been levels above what anybody else in the game has done. Top guy.
Who wins... prime Khan or prime Mayweather? 👀
😂😂😂😂
Are u being real? 😂
Is that even a question
Prime Khan was better than Brook tbf but silly question
Seriously? I mean come on, of course Khan woulda smashed him. 🤭👊
I love how transparent he is. None of this PR nonsense you normally get from most athletes
joke?
@@samscholes9727 No? He clearly says what he thinks, not what he's told to say.
@@JamieReynolds89 hes a glass jaw glazer lover, f**k hik.
Lol
@@ryane4448 damn khan really got under your skin 😂😂😂
Never ducked anyone, always entertained no matter what the outcome was
Ducked Kell for years mate
Yeah, he did duck Kell. It's just the truth. But still fought pretty much everyone. Credit where credits due
@@wowisowns Shame they didn't fight at their prime.
@@wowisowns if he’d have ducked Kell for years why would he fight him when he was shot to bits
@@wowisowns had better offers lets be realistic
what a great lad. Done us proud throughout the years.
Amir's a good lad. No other British boxer has defended their world title successfully on American soil as many times as he has. Nice guy too, wish him all the success in retirement
Don’t forget Anthony Joshua took over America for 3 rounds, then Ruiz sent him packing back to Watford.
Lennox Lewis??
@@alexbelotti1603 haters gonna hate, pretty sure Joshua has made a lot more money than khan ever will do
You’re right, he’s a good lad. Not very smart, witty or intuitive. Just a good lad.
@@whoknows7992 money makes him a better man??😂
What a lovely guy, really genuine and no hint of superstardom that isn't deserved. One of the best yet
@@Swag_N_Bear He was top 3-5 in the world at his weight amateur and pro. Hardly shite
British boxing legend, he opened doors for many when the funding wasn’t there
Adam Nazeem agrees with you
@Citeh don't think he does tbh
@Citeh doesn’t own a champions league medal
Facts, IF khan didn’t win a medal in the olympics they would have stopped the fundings
@Citeh im sure Bivol didnt say that....
Lot of respect for Amir. Never hid from a fight. Doesnt make excuses.
I really did not expect to enjoy this interview as much as I did, Amir Khan came across so genuine and down to earth, top guy and great content as always on the overlap
Can't believe he jumped up two weight divisions to face Canelo.
Madlad.
He got 10 mill it’s a no brainer
was too quick for canelo but the inevitable happenee
@@MalcolmTann0 shit nearly lost his brain in the fight as well lol
And was winning the fight until the blow that knocked him out
He will get battered for a payday

It would have been good to see them box when they were both near their peak.
1 of the most underrated boxers going. His speed was something else
He’s great Amir. Never understand anyone that doesn’t like him. Funny, down to earth, normal lad who made it big
I’m not the biggest fan of sports celebrity’s , but he’s alright. Comes across as genuine and humble.
Changed my mind about Khan. One of the lads. Respect.
What a sound normal fella Amir comes across as. Deserves all he has, thanks for the memories sir.
Love this. It’s just like two mates having a conversation
Genuine geezer, changed the game for many British boxers. Respect to Amir Khan

Yeah he people need to know this where’s the mayweathers and mcrgeggors doing their bit for their people who come from the same place
Amir Khan. What a legend and an all around top bloke!
Changed my opinion on Amir after watching this, it's mad how we form opinions on people without ever meeting them
Always respected Khan. Pushed himself to fight the best and had bags of natural talent. Good interview
Got to say Khan has become so likeable and comes across really well. Good luck to him after a stellar career.
Great interview. Say what you like about Amir khan, the guy’s a legend. Great career and entertainer of the sport. Had balls too.

Brave fighter and very honest can’t fault Khan 🇬🇧
Amir is a top man, took so much stick from the public back in the day and still smiles and jokes. Legend of boxing for England.
Great stuff Gary! Amir has given so much to the boxing fans of the UJ, inspired so many youngsters. Best of luck to him for the future.
All the best Amir Khan, look after yourself and take it easy. Enjoy and relax.
Great overlap by Gary Neville.
Loved the vibe
One of the best series of the overlap! Great interview, huge respect to Amir! Enjoy retirement champ
As a Naija boy🇳🇬, hearing him mention Jay Jay gave me goosebumps.
Same bro same
Same here bro ✊
He’s loved by everyone in Bolton
What a quality lad Amir is 👏🏼
Best thing amir did was I’m a celeb the public eye changed of him so much! He’s a sound and normal bloke really down to earth👍🏽
Looking forward to the full interview! Kahn is a brilliant fella!

He never had a fantastic chin at any point in his career. He did have plenty of heart though
Multiple time world champion and Olympic medalist at 17. I'd say he went pretty far.

Great night that... ! A terrific victory..
On my periodically rewatch list.

How can you hate Khan, always been a top bloke. Humble and a great boxer.
Mari is so genuine and he has done soo much for so many people.

The most impressive thing about all these overlap interviews, besides the great content, is the cameraman recording in front of them.
Did England proud throughout the years !! 🏴 no matter the fighter win or lose was very entertaining
Yes my brother YNWA
You alright snazzy bazzy
Impossible not to like Amir. Legend
Very possible for a lot of Brits because of his skin colour / religion / ethnicity

2 top blokes raised a few miles apart. Class these overlaps, natural.
Great down to earth guy and funny.. could listen to him all day. very interesting stuff he talks about.. get him on Monday night football
Never was a fan of khan until these documentaries.
Absolutely lovely man. Well done Gary
Not into boxing but this was a good interview, Amir seems like a great guy

Glad to see the positive comments below being the majority, the lad did well in his career, British boxing and philanthropy work.
Great interview - so honest with his answers 👌

No he's not haha
You're right he paved the way for a number of future Olympians who went on to become successful pro's. The funding was secured post 2004
Amazing person who deserves all his success!

Another great Overlap by Gary Neville, and I'm a Leeds fan :)
Man's had it all.. what's your favourite food.. fish and chips! Top bloke, love it!
With Khan's speed, he certainly had a chance against Mayweather
Thoroughly enjoyed watching Amir Khans fights always stepped up to the challenge never duck anyone
I was never a fan until he trolled Kell Brook before the fight, absolutely priceless
Respect to Neville for getting khan on the overlap 👍
Brilliant just keeps getting better what program love it
