    This is the kind of **** I saw coming from him as soon as he realised he didn't have a hope in hell against the lightweight top 10. Look on the bbc website for Khan interviews and you will find one from not so long ago where he says that he has no problems making 135 and sometimes has to eat pizza slices to get up to the weight.

    He said he is going to move back down to lightweight after a few defences and he certainly never said he was killing himself to make the weight.

    I'm not sure if Khan will move back down. If he makes some defences then I suspect he'll spend at least the next year at 140. When it comes time to lose an extra 5 pounds it'll be even more difficult to do, especially if he enjoys being stronger and fitter at 140.

    Spot on if Khan wins the title and makes a few defences , he will not go back down, maybe in 2 years if things go well for him he can move up to 147 .
