Amir Khan and Saul Canelo Alvarez get new fighting partners

It looks like Canelo will be taking a BIG step forward in his next fight against Paul Williams in September.  Williams is a veteran star who has wins against some of the best guys in the business including a prime Antonio Margarito and Sergio Martinez.  Some people feel Williams has faded and become susceptible to the left hook (which is certainly true if you look at the Lara fight).  However, this is still a stud and solid step up for Canelo Alvarez.  Good on you Canelo for taking this fight.

Same goes for Amir Khan who will be fighting Danny Garcia in July.  Garcia is a young up and comer who just soundly defeated Erik Morales.  After having fought Lamont Peterson who admitted to being on sterroids before the fight, Khan is ready for another young gun.  Khan soundly handled Peterson despite the 'roids and big time home court advantage for Peterson.
