Amir Khan the cash cow of UK!

I've no idea why anybody would consider Maidana a 'big fight'. Lost to Kotelnik, not really beaten anyone. Campbell also seems to be wildly overrated on the strength of beating Juan Diaz less convincingly than Marquez or Malignaggi. Funeka outboxed him for most of the fight and Bradley was handling him easily.

Bradley, Hatton and Maliganaggi should still be considered the top three at LWW at this stage.

 

Apparently if what is to be believed, Khan now promotes himself or atleast co-promotes with Warren. What isn't clear though, is how much say on opponents does Khan actually have? I mean if he wanted to fight in America, albeit without Frank's blessing, does he have the power to do so?

 

Hatton split with Warren after the McCullogh fight, so not sure how that would be. The between Hamed and Morales was being pushed by HBO with both fighters fighting on the same bill in 1999 (Hamed v Soto, Morales v McCullogh) and Hamed's shocking display against Soto was one of the reasons HBO backed off that. Warren was not involved by that point.

 

my understanding is that amir is under no long term deal with warrem its a fight by fight contract so he can split at any time which is why frank needsto keep him sweet

 

Well what if he gets KTFO, which is a big possibility against Bradley to be fair. I think he should at least find his level first before going in against the best LWW out there. Fight the likes of Malignaggi as an example who could give him a world of trouble instead of going straight for the top dog and possibly finding out you're not good enough and having to rebuild all over again which would take more time. Don't ya think? Leaving his fans who have supported him against complete bums to go for the big fights in the US isn't right to me, especially if all you've done is knock out Salita to deserve the fights.

 

I'm not critisising Khan for wanting to fight the best, no way, I'd never do that. What I'm saying is I think he should, as you agree, see where he stands first. I'm a fan of Khan's, and I'd hate for him to get egg on his face like what happened in his first PPV atsch
Just stick around a little bit, get Paulie over here as a final fight for his UK fans as he would then at least be putting forward a good fighter for us then go to the US and fight Bradley and then Pacquiao/Matthew Hatton (after he beats PBF) for the P4P title. :-(( Serious.

 

Some guys will do anything for the money. That Dimitri guy may have been that guy. I will have to withhold judgement on Amir till we see
him fight a genuine opponent in the weight division , not a hand picked
Dimitre.

 

Not sure how a mandatory can be 'hand-picked'?
