Amir Khan is looking to be the last man standing in Golden Boy Promotions' proposed internal 140-pound tournament. Khan faces Julio Diaz in Sheffield on April 27. WBA/WBC champ Danny Garcia takes on Zab Judah, also on April 27, and Lucas Matthysse is set to face IBF champ Lamont Peterson on May 18th, with the winners then battling each other for the right to fight Khan.

I definitely agree with u, how the ****k Is Khan supposed to be the golden egg? When he has been beat by 2 of the contenders already. I hope one of these guys knock the socks off of Khan, he's so annoying.

There is no reason that kahn should be at the end of this tourney(if it is a tourney). If he needs to starve himself then why even consider him for this? Loses too peterson and garcia so in other words if you lose 50 % of your last four fights your entitled to a title shot? ......awsome

How can you be this ignorant about how boxing works. Sure beating another fighter can bring in more money and fans, but beating someone isn't everything. Khan is the biggest draw at 140 regardless of his loss to Garcia (peterson was a n/c if I recall). It's not earning a shot for khan as it's earning a big money fight at the end of it all. Whoever comes out on top gets a fight with Khan (he is motivated by taking the easy road and having to only prove himself once) and a big cheque for doing so.

You have 2 140lb champions Garcia and Peterson, one former champ in Judah, and another top contender in Matthysse. These are great fights and you really should be ****ing grateful that finally we will see the top fighters fighting each other 140 if it all goes as planned.

Stop bellyaching. The top 140's are going to fight each other and whoever is at the top of the pile will deserve to be.
