Khan Wants Nate Campbell, Joel Casamayor

[Pullcounter]

Unbeaten British lightweight champ Amir Khan is targeting the two of the major players in the lightweight division. [details]

why wouldn't khan want casamayor and campbell??? casamayor is ripe for the picking and campbell can be inconsistent. not sure if khan is ready though.

I wonder if Warren is serious about putting Khan in there against good opponents like Campbell and Casa. I hope he is because I would actually like to see Khan fight one of those guys.

Khan's promoter Frank Warren said he would be eager to make a match for Khan against either of the current champions provided he gets past the Dane with the minimum of fuss.

"A win will give him a fantastic opportunity to fight for a world title sooner rather than later," said Warren.

"We're looking at Campbell and with a bit of luck we will get there by the end of the year."

I would much rather see Khan in with anthony peterson to see which of these young prospects deserve to be within 100yards of the top 10 lightweights

Diaz Vs Katsidis

Juan Diaz should fight Katsidis..I still think casa got lucky with katsidis!!

Katsidis or Juan D. vs Khan.

Who cares if he has the talent to beat either. With the state of the lightweight division as is...both campbell and casamayor will respond to the challenge with ?Amir Who??? Both Campbell and Casamayor have paid their dues for a long time and are finally in position for big money fights. They will not Pass up the opportunity. With possible matches against each other, Pacquiao, Marquez, Guzman, Juan Diaz on the line...no way either will risk their status for a hotshot rookie who has yet to pay his dues. Khan should see if he can get by Anthony Peterson 1st before talking championship belts. My points say Peterson de******izes Khan's L column.

I would pay to see that fight!
