    The WBC seem to think so

    :lol:

    Corrupt Bitches.

    I for one hope it sets up a Floyd Khan fight as i see it as a good fight.

    But still. Khan Number 2 Welterweight. That's Hilarious.

    that's beyond stupid.

    non of the organisations like khan except wba. he's wasn't ranked in the top 10 by any except wba 1 month ago. maybe wbc wanted to rank him #2 @140?

    It's either a mistake or a fight that all parties wish to be made.

    Fact is, GBP, Al-Haymon and Floyd's team know about the prospect of fighting Amir Khan and how the money and exposure is significant, even if he does have three losses now. Plus, it's not a hard fight for Floyd by any means.

    I doubt the ranking or the prospect of it happening matters, anyway. Khan will probably lose either in this division trying to re-gain his titles or when he fights for the mandatory position for the WBC belt.

    Absolutely, everyone at 140 and 147 truly fear him.
