By Scott Gilfoid: I wonder if World Boxing Council super middleweight champion Carl Froch just woke up from a 100 year sleep or something, because when he said that he thought Amir Khan looked boring after watching five rounds of his fight with Andriy Kotelnik, it really wasn’t all that enlightening. I hate to break this news to Froch, but Khan has been boring to watch for some time.

Roach Sees Khan as Number Ten In the Pound for Pound List
By Scott Gilfoid:Trainer Freddie Roach seems to be losing his ability to judge boxing talent. Not only does he see WBA light welterweight champion as one of the future stars in boxing on par with Floyd Mayweather Jr., but Roach is already ranking the 22-year-old Khan at number #10 in the pound-for-pound list. This has got to be the worst selection of a pound for pound fighter I’ve ever seen. Khan seems like a nice guy, but he doesn’t belong anywhere close to any pound for pound list based on a handful of wins over B-level fighters.

Khan Wants to Conquer America – News
By Jason Kim: With his impressive performance in defeating WBA light welterweight champion Andry Kotelnik last weekend, Britain’s Amir Khan is looking to conquer new territory and is hoping to branch out and start fighting in the United States where he hopes to win new fans. It’s a smart move if Khan, 22, can pull it off because if he’s able to become a success in the U.S., it will mean much bigger chances for mega fights for the former Olympic Silver Medalist.
Roach Sees Khan as Similar to Pacquiao – Boxing
By Dave Lahr: Trainer Freddie Roach feels that his pupil WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (21-1, 15 KO’s) is “similar in many ways to a young Manny Pacquiao,” according to an article by writer Gareth Davies from the telegraph.co.uk. Roach points out that both Khan and Pacquiao have great speed, and mentions that Pacquiao uses his speed to get the better of his opponents.
Witter: “I’d Knock Khan out In Three Rounds” – Boxing
By Nate Anderson: Former World Boxing Council (WBC) light welterweight champion Junior Witter (37-2-2, 22 KO’s) sees a fight with Amir Khan as being an easy one for him, predicting that he’d stop the 22-year-old Khan in the 3rd round when and if they ever fight each other, according to The Sun.
News – Samuel Peter vs. McGee this Saturday night; Khan Looking to Win Fans In the U.S.
By Jason Kim: Former World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Samuel Peter (30-3, 23 KO’s) will be hoping to turn his sagging career around this Saturday night against journeyman Marcus McGee (22-16, 11 KO’s) in an eight round bout at the Grand Miyan, Nuevo Vallarta, in Nayarit, Mexico. Peter, 28, has lost his last two fights against Vitali Klitschko and recetnly against Eddie Chambers. In the Chambers fight, Peter made the mistake of coming into the fight at a career high of 265, an incredible number for such and important fight.
Is Khan the Most Protected Fighter In Boxing?
By Scott Gilfoid: Thus far Amir Khan has yet to rehabilitate himself since losing a 1st round knockout at the hands of Breidis Prescott last September. Naturally, there hasn’t been a rematch with the Colombian Prescott, and I doubt there ever will. That would seem like the logical thing for Khan to do. It probably won’t ever happen unless Prescott starts getting knocked out every fight all of a sudden.
Will Khan fight Erik Morales Next
By Scott Gilfoid: With the potential fight against Ricky Hatton off the table after Ricky quashed those rumors by saying he wasn’t interested, WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (21-1, 15 KO’s) has to find someone for his next opponent. Freddie Roach, Khan’s trainer, mentioned Erik Morales as a potential opponent a couple of weeks ago. Morales, 33, hasn’t fought in two years and has ballooned up in weight since that time. However, he reportedly is interested in making a comeback, so a fight with Khan might be an option.
Brook Wants Jennings; Hamed sees Little In Common With Khan – News
By William Mackay: After an impressive 3rd round TKO defeat of Michal Lomax last Saturday night, British welterweight champion Kell Brook (20-0, 13 KO’s) is now aiming for former BBBofC welterweight champion Michael Jennings (35-2, 17 KO’s) next. A victory over the 31-year-old Jennings would be a good victory for Brook to add to his growing collection of wins since turning pro five years ago in 2004.
