Is he a Pakistani citizen though? Would it not have been better if he represented your country in say, the Rio Olympics, to earn you a much desired individual gold?
Yes, no comparison at all. That feeling of winning a gold for your country, standing on the podium whilst the national anthem is being played is not the same in professional bouts. And India is lucky in that aspect, plenty of sportspersons doing us proud in world events. Perhaps it is time you take a look at the dilapidated condition of sports in your country.
Doesn't matter what his passport says, he still is a member of the Pakistani race and has Pakistani DNA. It's like saying Anthony Joshua isn't Black because he is a British Citizen.......[emoji38]
The women's bout didn't even go the full distance Pavitra reigning comfortably over her Pakistani counterpart by virtue of a Technical Knockout.
In the men's match Vikas was all over Tanveer taking his own sweet time to raise his hands whenever he scored a punch, the bout had to be stopped a couple of times as the referee initiated countdowns. The end result was unanimous.
The gulf between Indian and Pakistani boxing could not be any wider, but i understand that there are a few ninjutsu fans in Pakistan. So we will have to wait untill that gets accepted in the Olympics.
It is not as if they don't have talented boxers, training facilities and government funding is abysmal. It took the legendary Amir Khan to set up an academy there. Even their traditional sports like wrestling and kabadi is in doldrums. A good Pakistani wrestler is begging for money on social media so he can compete in an world event. Budgetary spending on sports keeps declining every year.It's ok.. they have never tasted any positive results under Pakistani flag... So for them it's a big deal... anyway what makes me proud is... Our boxers bash pakistani flagged boxers left right and centre... While the pakistanis ignore that and celebrate a British National.
If race is the elements that makes you a good boxer worth being in international arena.. then seeing the current situation of Pakistan's boxing record, Amir Khan was the only last true Pakistani... cuz we never saw anyone from the same race.
The boxers from my state Assam alone have won more medals in world championships compared to Pakistan.And how many world class boxers have 1.4 billion indians produced? That is more than 7× the population of Pakistan.

Shiva Thapa 1st Indian to Assure 4th Straight Asian Boxing Championships Medal
And i shouldn't even start about the legends from Manipur and from other states of India.
How many did you Pakistanis win btw in the last 5 years?
Even Sunita williams is proud of her Indian roots... but trust me.. ISRO can't even claim an iota of her success... you have to see why she was in USA anearnt things.. And why Amir Khan moved to UK to get better diet, facilities, training... Something which was not possible in Pakistani land... Or else you would see several like Amir Khan in Pakistan. Now compare that with India...medal winning boxers... All from the land slowly we developed and are now the at the top
