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 ;D

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 :lickish:

LOL, well played, sir;D

Arthur's been talking about moving up for some time, really struggles to make weight. Suppose the guy at 135 with the WBO vacates, Arthur will have automatic high ranking at new weight being champion at the other weight, coupled with Khan's high ranking and there's your roundabout (Frank warren stamped of approval) way to a world title. Seeing as the main players at super feather are leaving or retiring, Arthur may make the move up earlier, he's been looking for a big name opponent.

The article is kind of vague on who was moving down or up

Heard Khan could make the weight if he boiled down to 0.5% body fat, ha ha what a joke this will never happen in a million years

Reminds me of an episode of Joey. A love rival to his girlfriend is boasting about how he's been working out and got his body fat down to 6.5%.

Joey goes 'well I've been working out too'

The other guy asks him what his bodyfat is and after a pause he say's 'Zero' :cool::D

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

HAHA

Strange because i watched the fight with my girlfriend and when he made the 1.5% claim my girlfriend said 'he thinks he's joey.'

Really funny episode is that. Shame it got cancelled. I actually found it funnier than friends.

Anyways in the unlikely event of this fight happening.....

Kahn embarasses Arthur and beats on him more than Gomez did.

I read that Nicky Cook will be fighting Alex Arthur.

I lik that name for him Con. Thats all he has done so far. Con people into thinking he is a world beater. How many fights has he had now 20? Oscar De La Hoya was a world champion after twelve pro fights. And he won the olympics

What exactly doesnt impress you about khan

Im not exactly the guys biggest fan as his blatant arrogance is for all to see and us brits dont take well to arrogant fighters.

But from what he has produced in ring so far suggests he has more than enough to become a world championship contender.

fast, heavy hands, able to take a decent shot - im not saying the better fighters of this division wont do a number on him. But for now he has progressed more than enough for me to believe he`ll be in and around the world title scene for years to come.

The only issue i have with team khan is regards to warrens calzaghe like hesitancy to see his main earner get in with the bigger boys instead fobbing us UK fans off with endless contender matches against 2nd rate opponents!

Please do not encourage him.

I'm pretty sure Arthur-Khan was one the many possibilities FW had for Khan.

If Arthur was lightweight champ you know he'd let Khan duff him up.

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.

Yeah Arthur is fighting Cook next, the story supposedly is if Arthur got by him then a Khan match might be made. Didn't say anything about Cook-Khan assuming Cook won.

I would fancy Mitchell to beat Arthur in a couple of fights time.

I concur.

It's entirely plausible that a guy like Frank would manouvre someone like Arthur into a World Title in order to give someone like Amir a nice 'safe' shot at a genuine belt...

It makes so much sense. I bet anything that if he could Warren would try to get Arthur a belt at lightweight, after the WBO strips a champion for not fighting him or something. Then give it to him and that would be Khan's shot.

Arthur is having trouble making the weight and is off to Cyprus and 30 degrees for a couple of weeks to lose some weight so he doesn't have to boil down before the fight. He looked shocking in his last fight and nearly got stopped again and the guy he was fighting would almost certainly lose to Cook. If the weight issue is worse this time he could easily lose but I think win or lose he eventually fights Khan at lightweight.

So both Cook & Arthur are having weight issues?

We might see quite a few knockdowns in this fight for both sides. :D

I didn't know Cook had weight problems too. I hope he does a Gomez on Arthur.
