I think Khan is a different case because of the cynical matchmaking, career progress and the fact he started as a STAR. John Murray is the British champ. Thaxton is the European champ. Yet they match Khan with a faded former little legend.

After Barrera those fighters and titles will be a step backward (should he win). How does it help/promote British boxing if you swerve the best Britain has to offer because you need a "name" to SELL tickets/PPV?
