    On twitter Oscar was saying its up to the fans. Most people were replying Bradley or the rematch with Peterson.

    Oscar then suggested Mosley. Does this mean Khan is done at Jr Ww?

    At WW, it would be a good match for Khan to get comfortable at WW

    He (Oscar) said he would like to see Khan Vs Prescott over here in England. Not a bad fight if you ask me. Both coming off a loss (Prescott beat McCloskey IMO.) Both probably won't be too friendly with each other. Oscar and Golden boy should get it made.

    It could be called "Last chance" - whoever loses, their career at the highest level is more or less over.

    Khan would get beat up at 147, he should stay at 140. He doesn't struggle to make weight I don't understand why move up other than a huge fight with Mayweather and that has now gone with his performance v Peterson.

    He has two big fights at 140.

    Guess they're struggling to get the Peterson rematch. I has a feeling Mosely would be in a the mix for Khan, and they would need to act fast before Brook gets in there first for the payday and big name.

    I dunno man, Khan lost a disputable decision to a top 5 guy in his division and has been fighting and beating way better comp than Prescott. Prescott lost a disputable decision to a scrub in McCloskey and was knocked out by a face first brawler in Alvarado, who at the moment looks like nothing more than a decent gatekeeper.

    A Peterson rematch or Bradley fight are better choices. Khan is at a higher level compared to Prescott and always will be.

    I don't know what I want. I'd be cool with any of those fights, but the Peterson one should happen first

    He needs to remain at 140. Makes the weight perfectly fine. At 147 he'll be getting knocked about too easily.

    Yeah, he really needs to improve his ring generalship and defence on the inside before moving up, if he ever does. That being said I think eventually he moves up and does better than people think there, it just isn't the time yet.

    Brook or Jones should be trying to get a Mosley fight or any upcomers too. Itd be a decent name on their resume and prove some of their skills.

    Yeah, he'll probably move up eventually, but he should let it be a natural progression. Not a forced one for a payday with a guy who'll destroy him anyway. Hopefully the Peterson fight will have convinced he belongs nowhere near that division yet.

    peterson rematch then bradley at 140 then move up ONLY if he wins both (him winning would indicate he has improved on the inside, so he would be ready)

    I'd watch
     
  14. I thought Oscar and Mosley were friends, surely DLH should be advising Mosley never to fight again rather than put him in with anyone half decent and young where he'll stand no chance at all.
