Warrens right. Khan has ducked Maidana and if the WBA let him keep his title they are an absolute disgrace. They should expose him for the fraud he really is, a 2 fight champion. Kotelnik, Salita. That's the level he can compete at.

Against the likes of Maidana, Bradley, Alexander, Urango he is way out of his depth.

There is no skill to Khan. No head movement. He is pure speed.

Damn, Bradley-Khan would have been sick.

Indeed it would have.

But Frank Warren is full of ****. Now he comes out and says "Khan would have fought Bradley/Alexander/Maidana etc" but he would have just been spoon fed more opponents. Warren is just trying to save face, there was no way he had a Bradley fight set up ready, like he would have thrown his biggest cash cow into a match the Bradley.

Khan's left Warren and walked into a fight against Marquez, who will be by far the toughest opponent of his career and his biggest payday. A win of Marquez will come up trumps for Khan, then the blockbuster match against Bradley could be on. Of course, I don't think a fight with Marquez right now is in Khan's best interests. Marquez isn't shot and is still a brilliant fighter.

I am definitely not counting out Marquez. I'm kind of hoping he KO's Khan. It would be great for his career and show he's still a great fighter and khan can always rebuild again.

marquez is better than maidana. enough said. how u like them apples warren!?

[Iceta Lives]

I agree Khan probably doesn't want to fight Bradley or Maidana but he will duck them without Frank Warren's help.

As a boxer.... yes, as an opponent for Amir Khan.... no he isn't.

No, for once, he is not full of ****. Warren was close to finalising the Khan-Maidana fight when Khan split from him and there have been a lot of stories in the UK press saying that Khan's father and Roach both wanted the split with Warren to happen for that precise reason, because they didn't want Khan to fight Maidana yet, whereas Warren did. In fact Warren had signed a contract when the Khan-Kotelnik fight was made, in which he guaranteed the Maidana-Ortiz winner a shot at Khan, and Roach and Shah Khan were very upset when they found out about that, according to several newspaper reports.

Furthermore, Bradley's promoter has confirmed that negotiations with Warren for a Khan-Bradley fight in the summer were in an advanced state and close to being signed when the split happened.

If anybody thinks Warren would have put Khan in with Maidana they are crazy. Golden Boy are much more likely to do that.

Under Warren, Khan would have been fighting Morales instead of Marquez.
