his actions sure say otherwise, he seems content fighting bums, as long as he has that little belt around his waist :-\

---

Give it a rest mate. He fought Kotelnik for the title and then fulfilled his mandatory. What the hell is he supposed to do?

---

Kotelnik the weakest fighter at 140, and bullshit, his mandatory was Maidana and Castillo is a step in the completely wrong direction, read the entire thread before putting your two cents, i said that he has potential, but he seriously needs to step it up, and thinking about taking on Morales or Castillo is far from stepping up in opposition, i also said that Judah would be a step in the right direction and that he should be given plenty of credit even for making the fight, but if he goes for Castillo i don't see how anyone can even try to make it seem like a decent fight

What's up with you clowns that need to have every fighter loved? :rolleyes:

But why post in a thread of a fighter you don't give a shit about? people are trying to have a constructive discussion and people like you are spoiling it with your random hating.. I mean, at least VD gives some insight into WHY he thinks something..

Is Maidana Khan's mandatory? Did he fulfill his mandatory obligations by fighting Salita? Will he be forced to reliquish his belt if he doesn't fight Maidana?

He's stepping up at a very decent rate. He's gone from being starched, to winning the world title and defending it against a mandatory challenger in the space of 14 months. If he keeps progressing like this he'll be fighting the elite names (if he gets that far) by the time he's 26/27....Just like most other elite fighters do.

I don't think you can call him on the Castillo speculation since it's just that...speculation.

there were tougher winnable fights out there for him instead of Barrera at 135, he could have taken on one of the tougher challengers instead of jumping at a world title, sorry but once you win a belt you're basically making the statement that you're ready for world class opposition, and Castillo and Salita are most definitely not that, i've burnt Berto on the same thing, but he's at least stepped it up since winning the title by fighting Collazo, Urango, and now set to take on Mosley, Khan shouldn't be rushed, but neither should he have someone holding his damn hand, Judah is a step up, although not at his best anymore, he's still a good opponent and test for Khan, Castillo simply isn't, and i understand that it's just speculation, but honestly guys like Morales and Castillo shouldn't even be considered as suitable opponents for Khan at this stage

I'm sure Salita was Khan's mandatory. And I think there's definitely a good possibility of Khan as chief support for Mayweather Manny as it would give Sky the opportunity to sell it as a PPV. Khan/Warren make a cut of the PPV, Khan gets the US shop window, Warren pushes him in his friend Bob Arum's direction and away from GBP as Warren has more chance of remaining co-promoter with Arum than GBP, the Mayweather Manny promotion gets an extra revenue stream, Sky make a few quid. Everybody is happy. They've got to be thinking about it.

Maidana was the mandatory, his fight against Ortiz was an eliminator bout to determine the #1 contender for Kotelnik's belt, the same title Khan won

Amir Khan will make the first defence of his world title against Dmitriy Salita at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle on Saturday 5th December promoter Frank Warren confirmed today. Khan, who won the WBA light-welterweight belt in July with a punch-perfect performance over Andreas Kotelnik, faces a hard first defence against the new star of American boxing. Salita, the mandatory challenger for Khan's title, was born in Odessa, Ukraine, and moved with his family to Brooklyn, New York, when he was nine years old.

Actually, no the WBA won't enforce a fight between it's respective 'champions' until they've both had the belt at least 6 months. They want to maximise the profits off them. Salita should have technically got the June fight with Kotelnik, so he was first in line for a shot at Khan.

I think Pac-FM will be PPV whoever is on the undercard.

And for once I wont mind paying.;D(as long as its less than 15quid)

It's a fact that fighters under Warren stay protected.

Calzaghe didn't get to fight Hopkins/ Jones till he left Warren. I could bet my house that if Calzaghe hadn't of left Warren, he'd of ended his career fighting Andrade :rolleyes:

Same with Hatton. He only landed stateside after leaving Warren.

Khan, i'm sure has BIG aspirations but Warren is never gonna entertain that.
Khan ain't fighting Marquez or Judah in the next 18 months. Fact. Bam. Booyakasha!

Would be fun to see some 'Flying Fist of Judah' though ;D ;D

Last week Arum said something like "Britain is buying the fight this time" even though Sky showed Manny Cotto so maybe you're right. Maybe Sky have competition from Primetime for fights now but then why didn't Primetime go for Manny Cotto?

Thing is the mate Warren is not as influential as he was he has no longer got sole promoting rites on Khan's fights Khan has his own promotion company and he is now involved as they have signed a new contract with Warren's company being some sort of advisory role.

I think thats intresting no doubt if there is some sort of disagreement good old Franky will be fucked off in no time. I think once Khan hits the States and possibly makes it big no way he takes Warren with him, Warren is a british promoter and thats as far as it goes.

Because he did not get the commission from the Jones fight he thought he was entitled too. He lost his case. :)
