So....my question to my fellow Saddo lovers...is...what does Khan have to do against Earl and then consequently in 2008 to prove he is the real deal and is still the darlin boy of the british boxing scene

IMO...convinvingly beat Earl via an early knock out and let him off the reigns in early 2008. He will need to fight Thaxton and beat him and then he is back on as a future prospect.
To prove he's the real deal in this division which IMO has an abundance of talent, I have to use the Katsidis standard.
If he is as effective against Earl as Katsidis was he will have proven something.
