Thread: Khan possibly moving down to fight Alex Arthur?

Its on boxingscene

Apparently Warren tried to get Barrera to be Arthur's first defense () but it didn't work out, shocking I know, and so apparently he will be fighting Nicky Cook on September 6. According to boxingscene Arthur-Khan would be the fight Warren would want to make after that. Khan will be fighting on the same card apparently, in the main event.

Doesn't say anything specific about Khan moving down but if its for Arthur's title then he'd have to.

I have no idea if this will actually happen or is BS. Khan doesn't seem like a small 135 pounder to me so I don't know if he even could move down.

don't see it happening. khan should be moving up if anything else.

Agreed KKisser.

I believe just before the Gomez fight he said he had 1.5% body fat. No way he is getting down to 130 in a safe manner in my opinion.

Well I kind of doubt this and he might well have problems moving down but he didn't have 1.5 percent body fat, I don't care what he says

Will not happen.

They are Warrens only high profile fighters i doubt he would pitch them together plus Khan has stated he struggles making 135 there is noway he can go down.

However i would not rule out the words "Featherweight" being involved in Khans next (cough) fight

LOL, well played, sir

i'd like to see khan against santa cruz. that would be interesting.

If anything Khan should be moving up.

There is no point talking about AA-Khan. AA is going to get battered by Nicky Cook. AA is shocking and that is going to be proved by Cook.

Khan needs to fight a decent 135 fighter next. I really hope he steps up in his next fight.

I dont know Tam, I thought Cook would beat Luevano when they fought for the title and surprise surprise Luevano went on to stop him.
I was disappointed in Cookie that day I thought he'd give a better showing no shame in loosing to Luevano. It's the way he lost that tells me he'll get beat by AA.

They blamed Cook struggling with the featherweight limit for his performance against Luevano (this was common knowledge beforehand). It's probably a fair excuse even though Luevano is a good fighter and most likely was just far to good for him.

I see Arthur-Cook a lot closer - without being sure who I think will win at the moment

I think someone on here posted something about Cooks weight but when I asked them for the source he said a "friend"....

I just feel AAs got the edge here.
