by Stephen Tannock: So after all the hard work promoter Frank Warren puts into making World Boxing Association light welterweight Amir Khan a superstar, yet he turns his back on Frank to join Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions company. Warren put his money into five big fights: Breidis Presscott, Osin Fagan, Marco Antonio Barrera Barrera, Andriy Kotelnik (the easiest fight of all the world champions) and Dmitri Salita and now Khan is dodging his mandatory challenger, Marcos Maidana.
All the word is that Khan is now planning on fighting Juan Manuel Marquez on May 15th. First of all, Marquez is a top 10 pound for pound fighter with wins over Barrera, Casamayor, Diaz and Juarez and has even drew with arguably the best pound for pound fighter Manny Pacquiao. Second of all, Khan hasn’t fought any world class opposition, Kotelnik maybe who has a win over a few notable names including Maidana but apart from that what names is there. Finally, Marquez should fight a bigger name than Khan to get back on the seen after Mayweather demolished him. Maybe Miguel Cotto would be a bette choice for Marquez.
In closing, I would just to thank Frank Warren for all his help in making Amir Khan what he is today. I just hope James DeGale, Frankie Gavin, Billy Joe Saunders, Nathan Cleverly, Kevin Mitchell, Sam Sexton and all his other rising stars in the world of boxing will not back away from arguably the best in boxing promoter in the world.
