    IF....Khan manages to beat Barrera and it aint for the newly vacated WBO Strap..what would be the next step? Lets not kid ourselves, Murray or Thaxton AINT gonna happen.... I was thinking perhaps Zahir Raheem would be a good fight, or would he have too much for Khan?

    yep, if he wins the fight he wins the title. If he loses then the title is vacant.

    Fair enough.... judging of what (little) i've seen of Funeka if he becomes WBO Champ Warren certainly wont be chasing him for title fight for Khan!

    At some point Khan has to step in with Prescott again, otherwise it will haunt his whole career and legacy, if indeed he leaves one

    Khan v Guzman would be good, I think it would be surprisingly competitive if Khan continues to improve.

    its a tough division and the wbo strap is now vacant so expect khan barrera to be for the wbo

    Yeah, just like Rustico Torrecampo haunts Manny Pacquiao's legacy to this day:lol:

    Prescott is a bum who got lucky. His career will fizzle out.

    Shock defeats happen sometimes. You should learn your boxing history, some great fighters got KO'd in a round early in their careers & recovered to make their mark on the sport.

    Check out Boxrec, its all in there, right at your fingertips if you know where to look. If you dont, just ask & I can point you in the general direction.
    Free of charge, cos thats how I roll.

    Very true Dunky.. However with Sports Netwoek fighters who are so cautiously matched its forseeable Khan could win the Vacant title against Barrera and never enter anything less then an 80-20 match again. He retires at 28 with a 40-1 record and that 'one' becomes extremely signifcant.

    Too high profile a loss, your reckoning falls to pieces I'm afraid.

    He has to face Prescott. It doesn't matter anyways, any half-decent puncher will stand him on his head, he will realise that outboxing Prescott will not redeem himself.


    Honestly, I think Guzman would stun and stop Khan. Paulie Malignaggi would stop Khan.

    Out of interest, which ATG or HOFs do you know that were KOed badly in the first by someone they were expected to easily beat after 3 years in their pro career and never avenged the loss?

    Your being quite restrictive their tbh mate.... Dunky does have a bit of a point. All you left out was their nationalities and which punch finished the fight.... I suppose you could have gone with which minute?

    So Campbell has won and the title is vacant. Warren's master plan has worked so far ;)
