Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Dropped From Top Spot, Has To Wait, Says WBC Prez

[Motorcity Cobra]

He was going to have to fight an eliminator against Shaun Porter to be elavated dumb dumb. The article clearly states that.

Classic case of selective reading. Smh

They asked him if he wanted to fight Spence for the eliminator last year that's when he declined and Porter-Berto was the eliminator

How sweet. I actually did read the article if you're gonna immediately drop inactive khan and elevate inactive Bradley to the potential eliminator, why not force khan to fight in the eliminator to maintain #1 status?

I don't think Khan has any fans left on here for this to upset.

They wanted to give Tim Bradley #1.

Hasn't Tim Bradley been out of boxing even longer then Khan???

It's about time they took this punk out of the rankings... good move Sulaiman...

Khan vs Broner negotiations begin:

Khan: 'I is da A side, I gets 75%'
Broner: 'I is da A side, I gets 75%'

Khan vs Broner negotiations end.

Because Khan was inactive for much longer. The Canelo fight was not a welterweight bout so as far as 147 titles are concerned, he aint fought a ranked opponent in like....years, coz Algieri also wasn't ranked, he was a junior weltwerweight moving up.

Compare that to Bradley who fought Pac in his last fight and yeah you get the picture.

Finally, the obvious part, when you drop a mandatory, naturally you ask the next ranked guys to fight an eliminator, Bradley happened to be that guy. I believe they call it a number of names, such as 'due process' or 'standard procedure'

Who were they supposed to ask to fight an eliminator for the VACANT spot? Anybody not named Bradley?

Out of boxing for longer yes, but out of top welterweights for longer?

Don't think so, remember that this is a weltwerweight title not a 155 catchweight title, and not an unranked opponent title (Chris Algieri).

Last time Bradley fought a ranked welter was Pac, when was the last time Amir fought one?

I thought they dropped him without giving him the opportunity to fight for eliminator. They offered him Spence fight, he didn't want it supposedly

[LacedUp]

Except he was #1 at 147 with the WBC before he'd fought either of those two.

I think it was given after Collazo, who incredibly enough, wasn't even ranked by the WBC.

Amir Con IS fake news!
