Someone sneaked in this shenanigan into the Amir Khan professional section, as of 3:15 or so CST (US):

"On April 5th 2008, Khan beat Kristjansen in the 7th round of a WBO World Lightweight. There is some speculation as to whether Khan cheated."

It's a semi-protected page, & apparently only allows registered users to edit it.

April 2007

The Sugar Ray Leonard quote is hyperbole from an observer who has seen little of Khan. Leonard as a pundit is not held in the same regard as he was as a fighter, and he has a reputation for saying the politically correct thing and telling people what they want to hear Benbrindon 05:19, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Can someone please change Amir Khans ranking, he is now ranked 11 in the WBO, the reference is here: http://www.frankwarren.tv/drill/News/Articles/2007/04/18/text-khan-is-wbo-no-11.html

Did It!

Changed the rankin' and i have put him on watchlist Lil'Khan

Problem sentence

I've changed "He has won his first twelve professional fights, drawing good reviews in the tabloid press however boxing fans have criticised Khan for repeatedly fighting journeymen from lower weight divisions many with as few as zero knockouts." to "He has won his first twelve professional fights, drawing good reviews in the press".

Please don't put stuff like "boxing fans have criticised ..." into articles without linking to a newspaper article (or some other "Wikipedia:Reliable Source") which proves that boxing fans have indeed done that. See Wikipedia:Biographies of living people. Thanks, CWC 14:48, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I think it shouldn't be here at all with proof or without because it really ruins Amir's image and to say i think it's his choice to pick his opponents not ours thank youLil'Khan 16:29, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I apologise, i changed this article before reading the discussion. I think that the criticism noted is an honest one but it also reflects Khans strength of character as it shows his reaction to the criticism and it does mention that Frank Warren in particular controls who Khan fights. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weightchamp (talk • contribs) 08:51, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Minor Edits

I just replaced the chunk of writing that was written next to the willie limond fight about how the match went, and i moved it under neath the professional section as that is the place where it should be kept, the bottom section just should show his fights.
