blackrican23 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 www.boxingscene.com The World Boxing Council caused a huge stir last month when Amir Khan received a number two ranking position at 147-pounds. Khan had never fought at the weight and he was one fight removed from a two-fight losing streak. Most viewed the move as a tactic to position Khan closer to a lucrative fight with champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. The latest rankings have corrected things, in a way. Khan's victory over Julio Diaz, at a catch-weight of 143-pounds, did not position him further at 147. Instead he lost his ranking spot and was placed as the number one ranked contender at 140-pounds, placing him one step away from the man who knocked him out in four rounds last July, champion Danny Garcia.Lucas Matthysse is Garcia's mandatory challenger.

Mofo2 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 It was nonsense, so I'm not the least surprised they have dropped him after the public ridicule over him being given the number 1 slot in the first place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
