Delusion

[Chuggerboom1]

After beating light welterweight contender Paulie Malignaggi last Saturday night by an 11th round stoppage, WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan is looking into the future at bigger things, saying “I hope the Americans love my style and I want to fill stadiums and arenas like I did in the UK.” Khan appears to be putting the cart before the horse in his eagerness to become a huge star in the United States. He just beat Malignaggi, a good B+ fighter, and already Khan is talking about huge things like filling stadiums. Khan has yet to face the cream of the crop at light welterweight and is looking way ahead of himself at bigger things. You can’t blame Khan for wanting to fill stadiums and arenas. That’s something worthy to aspire to. However, at this point it seems rather silly given that Khan has only faced the following fighters at light welterweight: Andriy Kotelnik, Dmitri Salita and Paulie Malignaggi. The names that Khan will have to beat for him to become a star in the light welterweight division are fighters like Devon Alexander, Tim Bradley, Marcos Maidana and Victor Ortiz. Thoughts anyone?

He looked really good against Paulie but he wasn't worried about getting hit.

He might be able to fill stadiums and be a star without having to fight the likes of Devon Alexander, Tim Bradley, Marcos Maidana and Victor Ortiz.
