    So the July 31st fight is off. Meaning the next time we see Khan will be November or December.

    That will be just 2 fights this calender year, is this really enough for a man in the prime of his career who is looking to be the next big star of boxing.

    Surely the fight must be against a big name now.

    Just read this on the scene. They say that Maidana and the winner of JMM-Diaz II are options, as well as Casamayor. Hopefully they choose Maidana, and there's really no excuse to not fight him now.

    I agree not enough but that's the problem with having your first fight in May. Now he has to face a top notch opponent he has no excuses what so ever as far as I'm concerned and for me it will be his last chance to keep me as a fan (not that he cares) if he faces someone crap then I won't stick with him anymore.

    I don't want to see Casamayor unless he secures a legit win and I don't want to see Prescott unless he also secures a legit win. So that leaves Ortiz, Bradley, Alexander, Maidana and the winner of Marquez-Diaz and Katsidis (but I would prefer to see them face off against each other) as the only opponents I have any interest in. Bit annoyed to be honest it was a nice idea to see someone actually stay busy for once but hay in modern Boxing we should be grateful that he has been out twice this year.

    If he's fighting in November or December then he **** Casamayor off. That was only acceptable as keep-busy.

    :deal

    I'm actually really pissed about this. Why do Boxers, Promoters et al. have to open their mouthes about these ideas when they barely seem to keep to these "plans" I was actually looking forward to seeing Khan in July on the JMM Card.

    I dont have a problem with a top fighter only fighting twice a year if their facing top opposition but to face PM then Casamayor, Prescott etc is not good enough especially considering Schaffer is talking about him fighting Mayweather within 18 months.

    Really hope its Maidana as I am really interested to see if he is just a amateur banger or the real deal.

    If he knows he can't train in Ramadan he should be fighting Jan/Feb then June/ July and Oct/Nov. Even thats not that hectic a schedule.
