harrison out, khan promoted to title fight

[jonbonjovi]

Can somebody tell me why people are talking about a huge showdown against Khan and Mitchell when they're two weight divisions apart?



theyre the 2 best prospects in the world right now
It's like Pacman fighting Floyd Mayweather.

theyre both young and growing... im sure khan will end up at welterweight one day, and mitchell cant stay at super-featherweight forever

[riza]

isnt this title the one below the actual world title?

[DarkSpyder]

mayweather and vargas only had like 16 and 19 fights when they fought for titles

De La Hoya fought for a title in his 12th bout.

[BrooklynBomber]

Tszyu fought an ex-champion in his 6th bout, and for a belt in his 11th or 13th

this is actually a good idea for khan , its a shame that this is the light-welter version coz if hes taking the road to the ibf world title that leads to hatton lol.
and to the person who was talking about the brit commonwealth and european route your joking aint you? that dont lead you to knowhere

At least they are genuine belts...this so called 'title fight' is laughable. The belt means nothing and the fight has been 'upgraded' to try and save some face on what has become a farcial promotion.

I really like the intercontinental belt idea. They give the holder a good ranking with that body and much needed experience at fighting bouts with a higher number of rounds.

I’m guessing Kahn’s opponent is a bum

it has to be the worst Thing that has happened to boxing you moron, you have fighters who are barely out of nappies (diapers for the Americans), going 10 to 12 rounds with some of them never going beyond 5 to 6 rounds and they can end up with serious brain injuries. Do you want to get the sport band numb nuts.

[rooq]

shouldn't the ibf - intercontinental be contested by people in tha world top 20 or something?

i'd of personally preferred khan to establish himself as the best in the uk at lightweight first.

[jonbonjovi]

whatever route he takes khan will be a world champ one day

Tszyu fought an ex-champion in his 6th bout, and for a belt in his 11th or 13th

He fought ex-Featherweight champ Juan Laporte (a guy who lasted the full distance with Savador Sanchez) in his 4th bout, but never actually fought for a title till his 14th.
