By Liam Santiago: The light welterweight division is arguably the hottest division in boxing right now. With names such as Amir Khan and Nate Campbell moving up from lightweight and young talent bursting onto the scene such as Devon Alexander, the division is jam packed with talent.

Warren Interested in Bradley vs. Khan – News
By Scott Gilfoid: World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan’s promoter Frank Warren is intrigued with a potential unification bout against WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (25-0, 12 KO’s).

Bradley Shouldn’t Fight Campbell Again
By Eric Thomas: Count me in as one of the many people who don’t want to see WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley fight Nate Campbell again.
