Re: Kahn will fight Maidana, then Bradley by End of 2010....
Man, all I can say is fuck Freddie Roach. I've been a big Khan supporter on here & have defended a lot of his shit, but vacating after 1 defence because the mandatory is a dangerous fighter is bullshit. The only justified reason to vacate would be to fight Bradley, which he ain't going to do. Seriously, I'm sick of everything to do with the Wild Card right now.

Damn and I was about to start supporting Khan and hoped that he could prove the naysayers wrong. Well I guess it's Paulie Malignaggi than.

Re: Kahn will fight Maidana, then Bradley by End of 2010....
Wow.. I've lost alot of respect for Roach these last few weeks. All the shit Roach was hyping up about Khan winning the title now he wants him to vacate it.
I hope Khan doesn't take his advice but I think we all know he will.. although it should be noted the source is the sun newspaper, and they are particularly well known here in the UK for making up absolute bullshit or twisting words to make it look like something else.
Here's the source article:
"
AMIR KHAN must either give up his world title or defend it against the fighter his trainer fears.
The WBA light-welterweight champ, 23, has been told he has to face Marcos Maidana and have ordered purse bids by January 18.
Trainer Freddie Roach admits Khan should relinquish the belt rather than step between the ropes with big-hitting Argy Maidana, 26.
Roach said: "It's a business and it's about the right fights at the right time. There are some good fights out there for Amir.
"He can outbox Maidana but he's tough, a good puncher and you don't want to exchange with him too much."
Maidana has stopped 26 of his 27 opponents with his only loss being a split-decision against Andriy Kotelnik - the man Khan beat for the WBA title.

Just as I suspected, Roach hasn't actually said he wants Khan to avoid the fight.. but he's certainly hinted at it.

Why the hate on Roach? It's a systematic problem with the sport, but it is by no means solely Roach. Look at the way Mayweather has chosen his fighters in recent years. Plus, Khan's father and Frank Warren have more sway in the camp than Roach and moreso Khan is able to make his own decisions.
I want to see Khan fight a puncher as much as I want to see Mayweather fight a legit welterweight, but the thing going for Khan is that he is only 22 years old. He'll have to fight a puncher at some point in his career.

"It's a big fight for me, defending my WBA title. It's my first defence and it is true what people say — it's tougher to keep hold of a title than win it."
"I don't want to be one of those fighters who wins it in one fight and loses in the second fight. I want to keep hold of my title."
Amir Khan before the Salita fight.
