    Manny or Floyd, he should face a big name like Bradley in the meantime.

    Agree?

    Well Bradley surely meets the requirements, he has the ideal KO ratio.

    Any big name, he wants to, but they don't... He's a bigger risk than people would like to admit.

    I can see why he feels "above" Brook and wants a name that's big in America, but that would be a great fight. They ****ing hate each other so much. It's the right time, I don't think it would be as big if one of them loses between now and then.

    I'd like to see him fight Bradley. A big name who's been in there with Pacquiao. I reckon Khan would probably beat Bradley more impressively than Pacman did so it would be a huge win. Add in the whole Bradley ducking Khan stuff from 2011 and it's a pretty huge fight. Then I think it's time for the fight that's been in the pipelines for years. Amir Khan Vs Kell Brook. Kell was calling for the fight for years but was basically some unknown nobody fighting regional fighters. Now, at least according to this site, Brook is above Khan in the rankings. A high profile win for Khan would set up a massive English clash between those two, with the winner really being top 3-5 in the division after that.

    If he can't fight Manny or Floyd he should fight Kell Brook. World title fight, big money fight and if Khan is as confident as he says he is, there's no reason why he shouldn't take the fight. No point waiting and waiting for the fight to happen, both are coming of good wins and it should happen now.

    Bradley, Brook, Porter, Thurman, Marquez, etc. Those are the contenders ranked between Khan and a big money fight with the champs. Why should Khan get to leap frog over everybody? Fight some contenders until you are undeniable and deserve your shot. If you are a big enough draw, other fighters will come looking for you.

    Instead, they're like "Well, I'm ranked #20 in the world. Where's my million dollar fight with Manny Pacquiao?"

    Bradley or Brook are the guys he should be facing

    Brook's entitlement has left Khan wanting to leave Brook hanging

    and Bradley is about Arum...if Bradley Khan could get made then Arum would just give Khan Pac instead...

    My thinking exactly. Once he beats a truely A-grade boxer, noone will oppose his claim for a money fight against Floyd or Pac. In addition to your list of boxers, I'd also see a Khan win over Rios or Matthysse sufficient for an elite fight claim as well.
