I'm not saying he shouldn't be facing tough challenges, but i don't see why he needs to burn himself out and put his career on the line just as it's starting, to fight the toughest opponents for the least reward. Nobody is going to do that.
I don't know whether or not he's a fraud, but I'm sick of hearing he's only 23 excuse so many times and the he has to take easy fights because he's still a prospect. He's an world champ he ain't no prospect anymore. And why not use the greatest ever as an measuring stick? Every boxer aspires to be great like those guys.

Who takes tough fights for the least reward? Geez I don't know, Mayweather early at 130 against Manfreddy, Delahoya taking on Rafael Ruelas and Genaro Hernandez at 22 years old, Pacquiao taking on the lineal flyweight champ at 19 and then fighting JMM at 126 later in his career (JMM at that time was a high risk low reward type fight) after beating MAB.

Next year it's going to be he's only 24 years old excuse when he fights guys like Malinaggi or a shot Casamayor moving up to 140 or something like that or maybe he gets Erik Morales at 140.
You keep calling him a fraud and referring to him as con so i'm pretty sure you believe that.

What's wrong with him fighting Malignaggi? He's just coming off two of his best performances?

So Maliganggi is good enough for Hatton and Cotto but he aint good enough for Khan?

Just admit, you want him to fight someone with a big punch but very little skill, just so you can pull out the 'i told you he was a fraud' card.
Malinaggi is a powerderpuff gatekeeper or an tuneup fight.
Okay then. He doesn't need to fight Maidana. How about Timothy Bradley, the number 1 jr. welterweight? Is that guy a big puncher with no skills?
The guy has been calling out Khan and is willing to travel to England and fight him. But I guess Tim Bradley is just a big puncher with no skills right?

At this time next year you'll be defending Khan for fighting Erik Morales at 140 or even Casamayor and using the excuse, "He's only 24 years old, give him time!"
