I know it's a cliche and can be proven wrong but there are no easy fights when you are a world champion. Now that isn't always true but just look at what happened to Isaac Hlatshwayo on Friday or Hugo Garay back in June they brought in opponents who were there as an opponent to lose but both Zaveck and Campillo went to the champs home town and got the wins and they weren't even considered to be top contenders. Amir isn't 30 he is 22 he has lost once before and he hasn't faced a huge amount of top 50 fighters to prove that he is above the championship standard. In my mind you don't become a legit champ until you have 3 defense's (at least 25-50% champ lose their title inside 3 fights) or you beat a top champ (like Hatton did with Tszyu) after you do either of those you become a legit top champ and you will get the big fights you deserve.
I agree but that is far from proven becauseall the Top Light Welters are unproven at the moment (apart from Bradley). I would like to see Khan, Alexander, Bradley and Urango all have 1 or 2 defense's more and then see a unification between whoever. I wouldn't be suprised to see Khan, Alexander or Urnago lose their belts in 2010 to a contender.
i wasn't really counting pac as i don't think he'll fight again at lww unless another marquee name moves to the division and wants to take him on. i didn't say anything about bradley being HOF or ATG, but i see a good solid test as being a 50/50 fight, and i don't think he'd get that aganst bradley just yet. right now someone like maidina is a good solid test, but bradley at the moment is beyond khan. maybe in a year or so he will be ready
