Why is Khan fighting Malignaggi?

Paulie had been talking a lot and called Khan out.

Why is Khan catching flak for fighting Paulie? Paulie has the goods to beat him, has a decent resume, is a former titlist, is a top contender, and I pick him to UD Khan.

exactly. tua was lewis mandatory for a couple years. was lewis ducking tua? not really he was trying to get fights with tyson and he was fighting holyfield for bigger money. can't blame lewis. ducking is when an opponent is the best fighter , best name and best money available and you still fight lesser fighters. yep. Pacquiao was the mandatory for wbc 130lb belt in january 2006. didnt get a title shot until march 2008. Sam Peter was a mandatory that kept getting bad treatment and step aside money for Vitali's speculated return.

khan is 23 years old and barely just won his title last year. he is now fight another top 10 opponent in a few months after failing to get a fight with a top 5 p4p fighter in marquez. yet he's ducking an unknown maidana who is best known for beating a prospect and LOSING TO A GUY KHAN BEAT FOR A TITLE. silly people. silly talk. it's like the guys who say pacquiao "ducked" valero to fight barrera and marquez...... that and people act like mandatories are entitled to immediate title shots. Simply not the case at all.

I guess it is to the general public. But if he doesn't face Maidana soon, boxing fans will say he was hiding. what??? who exactly is maidana??? dude's got talent and an arm cannon but having victor ortiz as your biggest win doesnt exactly make you an instant qualifier for a world title shot right away.

I guess it is to the general public. But if he doesn't face Maidana soon, boxing fans will say he was hiding. plus a decision loss to malignaggi is better than a ko loss to maidana no?

That's who I meant. I would have thought the Maidana fight would be excellent. what other fights? the only other opponent discussed was maidana and marquez. maidana is high risk , low reward , low exposure. marquez didn't want to fight khan.

a top 5-10 super lightweight. ask juan diaz how easy it is to beat weak punching gay ass jersey shore. I never said it would be easy. Styles make fights. I simply stated the reason Kahn wanted the fight.

What happened to his other fight/fights?

Can someone please fill me in. American exposure against a weak punching opponent with a name.
