Is Khan really avoiding the top 140lbs????

I think its a tad too early for us to be criticizing him for being selective.. He's 23 years old, has less than 25 fights, just fought his first fight in America, and suffered a bad loss not too terribly long ago. If he continues to look impressive, the fights will come..

the whole thing about ducking is bull****.

Marquez is ducking Khan who is ducking Maidana who is ducking Bradley who is ducking Alexander who is ducking Judah who is ducking ....... etc etc etc

 

Didn't he just fight last weekend...lol
(A few days ago)
WTF! is the rush.

The dude is still a kid, He will be around for a while.

 

are you suggesting he should have 3 fights lined up back to back
.. all with the top contenders or at least champions?

 

I have to salute the topic starter, well said there! perfectly reasonable post for a change, regarding Khan. There is no rush. The guy has won a world strap up at a higher weight class than what he started out in and defended it twice, the last against Malignaggi in the US. He's so far delivering at 140, so why don't we just wait and see?

 

Hey if he fights 1 opponent, thats not so obviously carefully selected, most of the criticism will go away.

Whats the problem here

 

Khan, Alexander, Bradley won't be put in with each other anytime soon. I guarantee that. HBO don't want them fights to happen right now.

 

And I 100% agree with the post. People are so ****ing ******ed. They want these fights to happen RIGHT NOW. crazy ****ers.

 

All three of the top guys at 140 could do with some more fights under their belt, Khan in particular whos resume isn't quite as good as the other two.

On the other hand, they could always have these fights against each other.

I think people put too much emphasis on undefeated records nowadays.

Guys like Mosley, DLH and Tito just went for the big fights, regardless of how risky they were. Sure, they have losses on their records, but they're remembered for the big fights they were in and rated higher than guys who might have not lost as many as them, but definitely didn't have as many big fights either.

 

i think theyre gonna take thier time with him, HBO doesnt seem to want great evenly matched fights they want to see one specific guy win.

 

He's had 3 fights at 140lbs , 2 were against top ten ranked opponents .. What do you think ?

 

And 1 was his WBA Mandatory

 

The guy has had like 3 fights at 140, lol jeez.

I think he's taking the right direction 100% if he fights Katsidis and Prescott next, in whichever order. He has a brutal loss to avenge, and Katsidis looms as a tough test and a pretty big money fight in the UK. Alexander and Bradley have other things to do right now, let those fights simmer a bit and we'll get some blockbusters with Khan vs. Alexander, Khan vs. Bradley, Bradley vs. Alexander next year or the year after...
