Former champion Amir Khan (28-3, 19KOs) is planning to make his move to the welterweight division on December 7th in the United States. Khan is going to be ringside at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City when Devon Alexander defends his IBF welterweight title against Lee Purdy. Khan's younger brother, Haroon, is fighting on the undercard.

What happen to the big 140lb tournament ..tell the truth you are afraid of Danny Garcia and want no part of a rematch.. which he would destroy you in and a title at 147 would be paper because Mayweather is the champ and he would also destroy you...

[El Angel]

I have no idea who I'll root for in Khan-Alexander

ying to get a fight with Mayweather

Khan mathces up well with Devon. I think he beats him.

He's obviously trying to land a Mayweather fight, very easy to see. Khan ain't getting past Alexander though, stylistically he matches up pretty well but he isn't the same Khan who arguably beat Peterson.

The Khan that fought Judah would easily beat Alexander. I'm not so sure about this Khan though.

Hope he pulls its off. Love him or hate him Khan is just pure excitement.

I don't even know if Khan can beat Alexander anymore, 18 months ago it would have been an easy fight but on Khan's current form who knows what happens. Alexander has improved somewhat at 147 so that makes things even more unpredictable.

If Khan fails to spend a few months with Hunter working on just technique before his actual training camp for Alexander even begins, he'll probably lose the fight.

So, essentially he wants to do the same thing Broner is doing. Only thing, rather than just skipping the challenges at 140, he's lost to them.

Only champions should be able to move up and get an immediate shot at the championship!

I can just hear Virgil Hunter in the corner now "Hug him, hug him goddamnit. Amir you came to me to learn how to survive being hurt...Hug motherf**cker!! Hug!!"
