    Comments Thread For: WBC Dumps Amir Khan From Welterweight Position

    The World Boxing Council caused a huge stir last month when Amir Khan received a number two ranking position at 147-pounds. Khan had never fought at the weight and he was one fight removed from a two-fight losing streak. Most viewed the move as a tactic to position Khan closer to a lucrative fight with champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    The latest rankings have corrected things, in a way. Khan's victory over Julio Diaz, at a catch-weight of 143-pounds, did not position him further at 147. Instead he lost his ranking spot and was placed as the number one ranked contender at 140-pounds, placing him one step away from the man who knocked him out in four rounds last July, champion Danny Garcia.

        This shocks me more than them putting people in spots they don't deserve on a consistent basis.
        Wasn't an accident, they did it on purpose... just like Alexander before he moved to 147

              It sounds to me that Golden Boy was laying some heavy bread on that World sanctioning body the World Boxing Council; To have one of their fighters, they promote Amir Khan, to be ranked so highly.

                Here was me thinking Amir Khan wanted to fight Danny Garcia again lmao.

                I suppose on the plus side him being ranked so highly he will have no excuse to fight the best now, his past two fights weren't against the best and he nearly lost to Julio Diaz!

                I believe Diaz deserved a decision or at the very least a draw against Khan, Khan was terrible in that fight!

                Don't want the 147 fighter to be Mayweather If Khan is moving up to 147 permanently, he doesn't deserve that big of a pay-day at all, give him Robert Guerrero or Keith Thurman those two will end him for good.
