And that's what all boxing fans want to see, a fight with just that slight element of danger. It Khan wins this, then no doubt I will want more danger! Khan is not among the elite at 140 yet, despite his win over Paulie. There are more important fighters out there. Stick him in there with Bradley, that's what I want above all else.
I have no problem with you being a Khan hater, Miles, but to say he is not elite at 140 is ridiculous.

He has wins over current top ten rated lightwelters and has better form than current top ten rated lightwelters. He is clearly an elite 140 fighter.

However much you dislike him this can't be disputed. Fact.
No, he is not elite. He does have the potential to be so though. He's just a belt holder.

It's all smoke and mirrors thus far, but a Maidana fight is a serious move in the right direction.

The Khan hater tag is wearing a bit thin tbh, he's doing alright for himself and I don't see too many threads where I am attacking him for his boxing these days.

Okay, if he sends a text of his willy and it gets in the papers and someone starts a thread then I might be critical, but otherwise, I am pretty easy going.

Like GB says let's just see him in good fights for once.
