Amir Khan Super Lightweight World Championship

Amir Khan now has an enviable dilemma.
Fresh off disposing Zab Judah with a fifth-round knockout in their junior-welterweight world title unification fight Saturday in Las Vegas, Khan is at a best-of-both-worlds scenario.
Khan, 24, can continue his dominance in the 140-pound class, amassing belts as he did after wresting Judah’s IBF title. For Kahn, who defended his WBA crown against Judah, the one appealing titleholder left in the division is WBC champion Timothy Bradley.
Whether Bradley is stalling for a bout with Khan or mulling a move to the financial lures of the top-heavy welterweight class, Khan may beat him at landing the better welterweight match. Khan’s recent performances could make him a noteworthy future opponent to established welterweights and the sport’s top two pay-per-view performers, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Thanks to his strong performance Saturday, Khan (26-1, 18 KOs) also continued the distancing from his lone career loss to Breidis Prescott at a lower weight class in 2008. The England native and 2004 Olympic silver medalist repeatedly frustrated Judah with solid lead rights to the head.
During a clinch late in the fifth round, Khan landed his fight-ending punch. Khan caught Judah with a right to the waistband that sent Judah to the canvas.
Judah (41-7) claimed the shot landed below the belt and didn’t expect referee Vic Drakulic to rule a knockdown. But Judah remained on the canvas as Drakulic counted him out at 2:47 of the round.
