    Gotta love the quote from Amir Khan where he gives his argument against letting women box:

    "When you get hit it's very painful. Women can get knocked out."

    Of all the people to use that argument...

    Bout ****in' time, but only 3 weight classes is ludicrous. For ****'s sake, just get rid of some stupid sports like...I dunno, but there's a lot!
