Or they could throw him in with Miguel Huerta, a limited journeyman who is rugged, has a punch and a chin and is well respected after the robbery under Kid Diamond, if Khan legitimately boxed his ears off, many people would be impressed. Though, Huerta's straight left hand would simply KTFO Amir Khan and it would solve this entire disgusting hype trip.
theres a few good articles mentioning this...for example... http://espn.go.com/boxing/columns/graham/1097210.html
I got halfway through reading it and had to stop its just so ludricous!!! im sure it wont be long before the winner of skelton-sprott will jump up to no.4 or something!!!
Don't just pick a name out of the sky and make out like the boxing fraternity would sit up. Khan is fighting for the second most important domestic belt. I call that stepping up just fine. If he wins that then we will clammer for the Thaxton fight in December!
Limond fight is definitely a step in the right direction and once he does fight Thaxton before the year is out I can have no qualms with how quickly he is being moved .
