(Hogan Photos) By William Mackay: For what it’s worth, the World Boxing Association has reinstated Amir Khan (26-2, 18 KO’s) as the WBA light welterweight champion as he moves forward to his fight against WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (23-0, 14 KO’s) on Saturday night in an HBO televised bout at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The WBA stripped Khan conqueror Lamont Peterson recently after he tested positive for synthetic testosterone while training for a rematch with Khan. The WBA was then going to have the WBA 140 pound title vacant and up for grabs for the Khan-Garcia fight. However, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is reporting that the WBA has given the title back to Khan so that the Khan vs. Garcia fight will be a unification bout.

Khan told the telegraph.co.uk “Justice has been done. I’m glad the WBA are reinstating me as champion. It means I walk into the fight as a world champion. There is a chance to win the WBC belt as well but not only that, the Ring magazine title will be on the line as well. It means that this fight will really show who is the best fighter in the 140 pound division.”

The Ring ratings has Khan #1, Garcia #2, and Zab Judah #3. I don’t know that I agree with those rankings. Khan hasn’t fought enough quality opponents to be fighting for the Ring title, and the same for Garcia. The Ring ratings are obviously a subjective thing where a bunch a guys give their opinion of who they feel are the top guys, but I don’t agree with those rankings at all. Judah shouldn’t be anywhere close to #3, and Khan is coming off of a loss to Peterson where he seemed to lose his senses completely from the pressure that was put on him. Having Khan at #1 after a loss is kind of a joke if you ask me.

The winner of the fight will hold two of the four major titles at 140, and can then brag that they’re the best fighter in the division. Of course, neither Khan or Garcia will have proven that they’re the best. That can’t happen unless the winner of the fight faces and beats the following light welterweights: Juan Manuel Marquez, Mike Alvarado, Ajose Olusegun, Marcos Maidana, Jesse Vargas and Lamont Peterson. That won’t if Khan beats Garcia, because Khan plans on vacating the titles and moving up to light welterweight. As such, this fight will hardly prove who the best fighter is in the division. Instead, it’ll merely prove who’s the better fighter between the two of them.
