I agree it's a good match made by FW.

I didn't think it would go through
Yeah he needs the fight to be a hard one to gain any credit from it. It's like if Calzaghe had done to Kessler what he did to Lacy, he wouldn't have got much credit for it. Kessler would have just been over-hyped so a tough win for Khan is the best thing for him. A blow out might land him a world title shot before he is ready as well. Maybe his chin will never be ready.
Khan wouldn't be given credit if he was fighting Barrera, Jesus and the KFC Colonel at the same time and still won.. honestly, I think he will always be hated on. Part of the reason is probably due to Frank Warren, I mean Hatton was also labelled a 'protected fighter' for a while when he was with Warren.. maybe Khan would do better to sign with a different promoter, e.g golden boy.
