        hardley stepping up much.
        Who would be a step up for Khan?

          Going to America, getting a yank coach and promoter and fighting some of the lightweight fighters over there is what he needs. He won't get a step up under Warren.

            I have to agree with that. Hope that doesn't offend you English guys.

                Maybe Lazcano can move back down to lightweight, that would be a perfect fight.

                  If Khan fought and beat Lazcano i would respect him a lot. Lazcano is a tough guy with good power and would be there to fight. Good call

                    It's not so much the fact that he hasn't stepped up even, it's the fact that he is the number 1 contender with th WBO (LMAO!) and yet has fought nobody to earn such status.

                    That fact that he says things like "I'm going to win a world title before the end of the year and dominate my division for many more" doesn't help his cause either.

                    There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance, Khan has well and truly stepped over it, despite having fought nobody.

                      Very true! Khan beats these lower level fighters then calls out Pacquiao who is P4P one of the best, maybe the best right now.
