[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BoxingScene.com has heard some serious talk going around the industry that Amir Khan will vacate the junior welterweight title if the WBA forces him to fight Marcos Maidana next. Back in June, Maidana stopped Victor Ortiz in June to pick up the WBA' interim-title at 140-pounds. [Click Here To Read More]

This will not look good to most of the boxing community.

To be fair, it says he has to fight Maidana within 90 days. However, he just beat a guy in 76 seconds....

Wow. That is an extremely ******* move.

Maidana is a legit contender and deserves a title shot. Shame on Khan if he ducks.

90 days? seems a bit of a rush. then again its not like khan took alot of damage against salita haha. businesswise it makes sense for khan to vacate, why risk his first big payday against marquez, hatton, or whoever and fight a dangerous fighter like maidana? and its not like anyone puts much stock in those titles. but you would think a decisive victory would build his name up even more and increase the payday against the bigger names. i for one hopes he takes the fight. but he prob wont

+1 Hit the nail on the head. He's got the fans, he's got the belt, you know freddie doesnt train for free. I'm sure he feels it's time to get the big money while its there.

khan finaly has someone thats alive put in front of him and theres talk of running?
not good.
unless its for bigmoney fight like hatton or i even wouldn't mine him fighting spadafora after maidana.

[KILLA RIGHT]

fight him in the undercard of may and manny then go do your thing in 2010 if he's so good like he thinks he is

In truth, a guy of Khan's age and experience should be fighting 3-4 times a year.


I know he's a beltholder, but he needs to stay in the ring.

Maidada in March, please.
