    It would be a massive step up in class if brook was to fight spence going by his last few fights, lets remember khan is not the one needing to be known in America, khan has other options out where as brook needs khan to make it big.

    khan pretty much cleared up the 140 division apart the garcia fight no disgrace in losing to him, he's not had it easy as people seem to think he could of been stayed in the UK and fight and went to America.

    Is it a duck if you turn down Bradley, turn down Brook and then don't fight Thurman?

    So apart from losing to Peterson and Garcia he cleaned up at 140?

    3 years on and he's a welterweight fighting 140 guys.

    totally agree with point 2, thurman is as hard a fight as kell but the risk/reward is much lower against thurman

    your first point isnt as accurate, if khan gets sparked by thurman the fight will lose some kudos. right now kell is undefeated and amir is on a good run and not been beat since danny garcia and has been in with some decent names, this makes teh fight red hot and a big clash that could be held in a stadium. if either gets beat it might still be a big fight but no where near as big as it is right now.

    Nope not a fanboy of anyone, but I'm not a numpty who goes on here and bad mouth boxers too. I just want to see good fights and I can see some potentially good fights involving Khan, as long as he stops chasing the big Floyd payday.

    The Peterson fight was a farce weather you like khan or not,

    10 years as a pro and brook is still fighting bums, oh yeah he thought porter his ticket to being a super star

    Peterson would whoop khan today.

    Steroids or not khan can't handle pressure fighters.

    Southpaws and blown up light welters are his cup of tea.

    He won the fight against algeri not a spectacular performance buy he had to adjust and done well, algeri will cause alot 147 fighter problems with his reach and hight advantage

    Khan was meant to dominate a glorified sports coach, instead he struggled and in rounds got dominated himself.

    No point overrating Algeri now, he is fodder for the division.

    I live in the usa and khan is not widely known and those who have heard of him think he is glass jawed and avoids punchers. If he did beat say a thurman he would get a fmj fight imo but it may be too late now unless floyd goes for 50.
    I think khan could beat thurman too as keith power is overrated ( enough to ko khan though) and he doesnt like getting hit. Amir if he survives first four he could flurry keith and get him into his shell and running. 50/50 or slight edge to thurman but a close fight

    He wont fight thurman. maybe guerrero next though he is a pressure fighter and khan doesnt look great vs someone like the ghost. Who ever it will be it will be a non puncher imo though there is not many non punchers at the top end at ww
    I could also see him fighting mayfield now that fmj has mentioned that name and its an easy fight for khan imo

    I think if he doesn't get May or Pac next he'll look to fight Bradley for the WBO title
