By William Mackay: It now looks like World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan (22-1, 16 KO’s) won’t be facing WBA light welterweight interim champion Marcos Maidana anytime soon, if ever. In an article with The Sun, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer says “A fight against [Juan Manuel] Marquez is a breakthrough as he is one of the best and Mexico’s No 1 active fighter. Once he [Khan] wins against Marquez, there is the possibility of a fight against Zab Judah – and then [Floyd] Mayweather Jr.”

Mayweather-Mosley: Floyd takes the spotlight off of Pacquiao-Clottey fight
By Dave Lahr: If this was a chess match between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, Floyd would have knocked off Pacquiao’s king with his latest move of setting up a May 1st bout against World Boxing Association welterweight champion Shane Mosley. In contrast, Pacquiao will have to settle for fighting former IBF welterweight champion Joshua Clottey, who is coming off of a recent loss to Miguel Cotto.
