Is Golden boy work. They has that in the contract. Why do people keep blaming Khan Goden Boy and HBO do not want Khan to fight Maidana. Well not just yet anyways.

Golden boy and HBO is hurting boxing when they do this.

Cuz Golden Boy and HBO want to protect this dude.

I am so sick of Golden boy. They need to leave boxing for good.

hbo and golden boy want to make him a star. so they put him in there with the most featherfisted guy in the division to protect him. they learned their lesson from the ortiz vs maidana fight.

If it's about hyping up a showdown with an opponent later on in his career, There's too many names to do that. He's avoiding his mandatory opponent and all of these guys are fighting each other and Khan is the only one not doing. So what he's expecting them to tire themselves out so when all is said and done he'll fight them and look good by winning? WTF. He's made himself look horrible this past year. His best win is what? MAB? LMAO. He's the WBA champion and that's his best win? lol.

Maidana is too tough for Khan at this point . Malignaggi is the easiest big name fight for Khan at this point, and is somewhat of a draw, as Malignaggi is very well known.

Victor Ortiz I think would be pretty easy for Khan - that kid is somewhat talented but he lacks major heart, can't take hits, and is not a warrior in any aspect of the word. You need to have fight in you to be good, and this kid doesn't have it, I'm afraid. He does look good against tomato cans, though.

I like Amir Khan and I think we'll see a Maidana fight down the road but that will be for a title.

He choose Paulie because your girlfriend hits harder then Paulie.

Instead of Maidana, Ortiz, Rematch with Prescott, Devon Alexander, or Bradley?

He is after all the WBA champion... I just wanna know.

Id say about 98 % of fights end in either KO or Decision, so by fighting Paulie he basically elimates his chances of getting Koed, only way to lose is if he gets out pointed for 12 rounds.

So why did Khan choose to fight Paulie..
