Guerrero looking like Khan’s next opponent on July 23
By William Mackay: The choice for WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan’s next fight on July 23 has narrowed dramatically in the past month with IBF light welterweight champ Zab Judah and WBC/WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley falling by the wayside, leaving only Erik Morales, Marcos Maidana and Roberto Guerrero. Of those, most boxing fans would select Maidana as number #1, Morales #2 and Guerrero a way distant #3.
Khan not interested in facing Judah, prefers Guerrero
By William Mackay: Rather than take on a dangerous and well known fighter like IBF light welterweight champion Zab Judah (41-6, 28 KO’s) in a unification bout that boxing cans would almost surely want to see, WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (25-1, 18 KO’s) is angling to fight lightweight Roberto Guerrero (29-1-1, 18 KO’s) instead. That’s less dangerous fight for Khan, because Guerrero isn’t a big puncher like Judah.
