    After watching thurman last night khan knows he wouldn't stand a chance so the only big fight for him now is brook. If he fights bradley or algeri he gets no credit. His best chance is to fight brook and hope that brook is not the same fighter he was before the stabbing. Can't see him fighting the winner of floyd v pac as they will probably have a rematch or retire.the only option is kell and hopefully brook knocks him out

    He has plenty of options it just depends on who he is willing to fight.

    put on another thread I'd be disappointed if it isn't brook, Bradley or cotto (who is unlikely)

    with khan apparently announcing his opponent next week, could that leave brook out of the running? if he loses to Dan, or gets cut he won't be able to fight in early june / late may when khan presumably wants to fight.

    My money is on him fighting Bradley. He will get a lot of credit if he beats him because Bradley is a class fighter, but obviously Bradley is somewhat tailor made for Khan. I think he will keep waiting it out to try and get a Floyd or Pac fight.

    Put together a list of possible opponents for Khan and rank them by KO% rate.

    Look to the bottom of the list, that's where you will find his next opponent.

    and for brook you can look at the bottom of the top 100 list in the WW division and find brook's next opponent

    Khan is not really a fighter to shy away from big hitters, for someone with a glass chin, he has fought quite a few. Brook just makes more sense because it's a bigger money fight.

    Maidana is the only top class puncher he has faced

    I never said top class, just big hitters. Garcia and Prescott are good punchers.

    totally agree, if you ever wonder what Bradley and khan would be like just watch alexander vs khan and it will be the exact same fight/outcome.


    as a fan brook vs khan is much more enticing

    Brook's promoter has Wembley booked for a Khan fight -doesn't look like Khan fancies it.

    So Khan is ducking Brook because he might get cut in 3 weeks?

    Neither are big punchers. Khan does seem to avoid big punchers. Khan is fun to watch but his opponents are carefully picked for him. I think he will fight bradley next as hes a name and not a puncher and also possible in decline
