Why is Amir Khan Fighting Lightweights?

[TOBYLEE1]

Khan has a promotional machine backing him up. He has been buttered up since the amateur days like the next big thing. His hardcore fan base don't care if he fights challenges they just want to see him fight and win, they really don't care if he fight the toughest challenges to really call him the best. It is funny how he is called the best in the division when he hasnt fought not even one of the top guys.

Khan is talented and has had one bump in the road. That should be a reason why to look for tougher matches against name opponents so he can cement his position. But even Khan is down with the program that GBP has laid out to make the most money with the least risks. He might be one of those talented fighters that you will never see against top opposition.

What weight division is he in NOW?

[Vadrigar.]

He saw the benefits of it, when he saw Floyd fought Marquez...
If its Floyd, its okay.. If its Khan its a F***ing big deal... Jeez.

No one said it was OK when floyd cherry picked him.

[Vadrigar.]

Because GBP know he will get starched if they match him with a top 140 guy. They want to make money out of him, so basically look forward to crap fights.

How long will we see crap fights? All through next year?

[Vadrigar.]

it's just what he's used to doing. frank warren was feeding him smaller bums back when he was with him


khan is god

lol @ khan is god.

I think GBP promotions are continuing with warren style opponent selections.

Khan is going to continue to do this **** until he retires.

His propaganda stunts are getting ridiculous now.

Khan can get away with these joke fights against small guys because his gullible fan base will stand for it and finance it. There is no demand at all for Bradley,Alexander or Maidana to fight small past its. So they are forced to look at real fights to make money.
Khan has a lot of Klingons around him with their nose in the trough. His extended family, Team Khan etc. None of them want to see the wheels come off the gravy train.There are reports that Shah Khan was unhappy that Warren was going to fix a fight with Maidana and signing with GBP was a great way of ducking out of that. If this is true the extended family influence is not to be underestimated . His handlers at GBP know he is fragile but know there is a gullible fan base they can tap into. When you add it all up it is obvious he is going to be fed canned opposition. Only when the fans get fed up and won't suffer and finance these charades will Khan be forced to fight real fights. But they seem so gullible and long suffering that I just don't see that happening.

I hope the WBA start considering to strip his title, if he doesn't hold of contenders like maidana. Unless GBP has already paid them off.

Here is who I would like to see Khan fight in order:

Zab Judah @ 140
Marquez @ 140
Maidana @ 140
Bradley @ 140 (Unification)
Alexander @ 140 (Unification)
Berto @ 147

Then he can look at Mayweather.
