    That's debatable. Surely if Khan still has serious aspirations to achieve at 135 he'd be best served fighting established opponents from that division don't you think?

    Arthur is a lightweight. He can't make SFW. He's also a former World Champion. I'd say it's Khans toughest test yet. A good match up.

    You have very high standards in a world that will always dissapoint you , lol , Arthur is listed at 5'9 , can no longer make the lower weight. Its a good match up for both fighters.

    It actually smacks of him knowing little about the fighters and the sport for that matter.

    For amir to win this it means Arthur can't get a punch on amir's chin, unlikely!

    Since when was Arthur a world champion?

    he beat Gogalodze for the WBO interim 130 title, defended it against Foster, and then lost it to Nicky Cook.

    but if you dont count "interim" titles, then he wasnt a world champion.

    This the same Amazing Alex Arthur who was absolutely raped by Michael Gomez (I was there, it wasn't for the faint hearted) and beaten easily by the average Nicky Cook? If so then its going to be an easy night for Khan. Arthur was never all that in the first place, but his performance at SF against Cook was lacklustre to say the least. Khan would fear a rematch against Limond more than he would a head to head against Amazing Alex.

    he was awarded the wbo sfw title after juan guzman decided to leave the sfw for lw division instead of fighting arthur

    khan will beat alex, possibly easily
