    Just been mulling this over and with amir falling out with sky and the hearns not wanting any deal,I am seeing a potential fight early next year in the U.K. Against matthew hatton, I think this could end up being the only option, with an excellent chance to get back on sky and GBP already used magic before will have good interest in britain building towards mayweather fight. Anybody think its possible?:think

    Is Amir moving up in weight? I obviously haven't been paying attention, but if he does, I can't see him fighting Matthew Hatton. It would be stretching the credibility of PPV.

    I think he'll be even more effective up a weight.

    Khan's body is weird, I dont know whether it was because of the comparison to Judah, but from the front he looks flabby, and that he should actually be at 135, yet from behind his back looks huge, and looks like he's a welterweight/LMW.

    I Personally think he goes for the belt straight away & fights Senchenko. Since he's LWW WBA super champ i'm sure he will get rated very highly by them when he moves up.

    Khan would fry the pants off brook at 147. No disrespect intended, but brook is not anywhere being in khans league ATM. Needs a defining fight. You can't tell me beating n'dou was that defining fight. Khan should fight someone like berto IMO if he's got ideas about fighting mayweather or PAC

    khan should fight against a good fighter like abregu who he will beat but give a physical test and help him get used to the weight. then he shoul;d fight mayweather and when he beats him he should give brook a chance and have huge fight at the o2.

    Do you agree that Senchenko is arguably the worst 'titlist' of all time?

    Yes absolutely, very much so :lol: Thats why i say he doesnt need a warm up for that fight at all, and ends up with a belt. The fact he's the WBA superchamp at 140 means he can pretty much force Senchenko to face him once he goes up to 147.

    If he can go up and win a title at 140 against a very good and underrated titlist in Kotelnik, this should be a walk in the park.

    Shortlist should include

    Brook
    Ortiz
    Berto
    Bradley - when/if he moves up
    Collazo - not really worth risk
