    Because they're his belts. Peterson only holds those ones right after the fight. The belt orgs will make him his own ones that he'll get to keep when he vacates, loses or retires.

    If Khan wins I doubt there would be a third fight to be honest.

    The line would be, 'I beat him twice.'

    It's the entertainment business. And fans should want to see the best fight the best.

    Why should that prevent him from getting (relatively)big fights there?

    The weight jumping thing is frustrating, but if he's out to get the biggest fights at 140, more power to him I say. 'Bout time he went for them.

    Ahem, there was 3 English judges the last time Khan defended his title in Britain, and his opponent wasnt British.

    Both Bradley and Peterson would probably get robbed over here against Khan.

    Didn't Bradley sign with Top Rank? Meaning he's no longer affiliated with Shaw?

    Could it be because Guerrero fights in a completely different weight class?...just a guess

    Both fighters qualified to fight for the British title, where would the bias be?

    He's moved up. He had signed up to fight Maidana at 140 in August but picked up an injury.

    Guerrero's been making a lot of noise about the fight.

    That's not to say I think Khan is "ducking" him, or anything like that. I'm not one for 'who called who out'.

    One fighter is English one is Irish, all three judges are English, doesnt take a rocket scientist to work out where the bias is.

    Peterson has beaten Khan already, from his point of view, he has more to prove, by avenging his loss against Bradley...beating Khan again proves nothing. Is Khan really a bigger draw in America?

    I rewatched the fight early and thought to myself 'i dunno how much more war's Khan can get through'. He's had many gutchecks/wars and his career is still relatively in it's infancy at world level at least.

    You asked where the bias was, with 1 English fighter 1 Irish fighter and 3 English judges...and thats your reply?...makes no sense!

    No Khans head butt (like the Barerra and Judah head butts) cut McCloskey the english doctor jumped right into the ring (never seen that happen before for a minor cut) and called off the fight.

    The ref worked out well for khan that night, but his constant cheating lost him his last fight.
