Why is Amir Khan Fighting Lightweights?

[Vadrigar.]

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.

Who is he fighting in November then? have GBP announced?

I know, It doesn't make sense why he is picking on leftovers.

I think they are trying to move him along like Andre Ward, he fough a lot bums over the course of 4 years and his game matured and now he's a serious force to reckoned with. There ain't much he aint seen in the ring and he can make great adjustments. Putting him in with Bradley/Alexander right now might put a cap on his earning potential and destroy all of his confidence.

Did Andre Ward fight bums as a title holder, or did he take on legitimate contenders for the title?

No he wasn't and thats what's clearly wrong with the sport, 4 champions in 1 division. The consensus is that Bradley is the man to beat and second is Alexander is a clear second, when you throw in there that out of all the champions only Amir Khan has been defeated and in the worst fashion but still collects the biggest paychecks u then understand why his management is safeguarding him for now. SUX I know but its salty business.

I don't think his management is confident in his chin.

GB is a business, there is a reason they are one of the two biggest promotional companies in boxing. It is their job to promote & protect their fighter, all at once setting him up in, what many of us call, "safe fights." As fans, do we really want to see Khan vs Diaz? **** No! But who expects Diaz to win? A fight between Khan & Marquez, elevates Khan's popularity and to most fans is a decent enough fight to watch. How many people actually pay attention to the little things, like weight and age? Certainly not minor details to me, but to the casual boxing fan, that's going to turn on the TV, they're going to say, 'Hey that Marquez guy fought Pacquiao pretty well, he must be damn good!' When in reality, this is a mismatch. It is a very well timed business decision by GB, this isn't the first time they've done something like this, especially with Marquez, but what the **** are we going to do about it?

If you can't reach Khan for an answer, just call Floyd.
