    If pac may goes ahead, I think Khan will want to be the chief support for the ppv. But with Bradley cotto proposed who does that leave.

    Brook too quick a turnaround and will be in Britain
    Marquez brook rumoured for summer

    Doesn't leave much options, thurman and porter have fights due.

    Top 140 guys are facing each other.


    Really think his best choices are trout or Lara. Both the same size as Khan and both southpaws with average power, something Khan excels against.

    Who to u think he should face for that pac mayweather card.
    Please no brook comments. It ain't going to happen yet.

    It amazes me how gullible boxing fans are. Khan is suddenly some great fighter with an improved chin, because he's fought a few featherfists at 147.

    Hes been world class for almost a decade.

    You speak like he was a bum at some point.

    He didn't suddenly become good, hes been good since he won silver as a 17 year old at the Olympics.

    Khan fans are ridiculous.

    Heres some facts:

    Khans chin is one of the worst in boxing today

    Khan will always have a mediocre following and will never be a MAJOR draw

    Khan is dumb enough to believe he doesnt have to avenge losses

    Since leaving roach Khan has become significantly more boring to watch



    What else am I missing?

    Audley Harrison won a Gold Medal. What is your point? :huh

    Khan is not an elite fighter. Never will be.

    Will not be surprised if Khan fights Algieri.

    Thurman
    Diego Chaves
    Timothy or Brandon Rios the one that Team Cotto not chose.
    Maidana rematch
    Domestic fight with Frankie Gavin
    Sadam Ali
    Or a good big jr welter available that can meet at welter like Alguieri

    Again suitable opponents for May 2nd.

    Does every thread have to turn into a hate thread. I was just wondering for credible opponents.

    Any thoughts on my suggestions. I know they are 154 ers but there is a lack of 147 ers for that date

    That would be a nice fight. Both tall and great footwork but I think Khan can pull out the win
