    I know that Khan would have no chance against Pacman, Marquez, or even Juan Diaz, but I think he would stand a pretty good chance at defeating David Diaz, I think this is the fight where he could be tested and try to improve his skills.

    I think he would be way too quick for D. Diaz and would beat him by stoppage. I think a good fight would be Joel Casamayor. Joel COULD knock Amir out and has good techinical skills and would be a good gatekeeper to the top dogs. Joel is by no means shot. I couldnt call that fight.

    i think khan needs a good distance fight, to show how much he has really improved under freddie. maybe diaz could be it. i doubt ddiaz would pose a huge threat to khan, as he is not a murderous puncher, but he has a decent beard on him and it would be a great showcase of khan. this would answer a lot of questions.

    You would honestly pick Khan over guys like:

    Guzman
    BabyBull Diaz
    Casamayor(even if shot)
    Valero
    Jesus Chavez
    and last but definitely not least
    Prescott

    That's how it goes with ******s when it comes to boxing, don't know about other sports but in this one it's like this. One loss and it's retirement, one win and it's ATG status.

    ******s are always easiest to spot after fights.

    I think David Diaz just might knock him out late. Good fight

    a good fight for khan, i think he'll beat diaz, maybe even by ko. but i think a fight with katsidis will be more competetive..and a rematch with presscot ofcourse

    Diaz can't punch. Khan would beat him.

    Khan vs Katsidis would be a good fight. Both have entertaining styles that would mesh well together. Both are a bit chinny too so you know the fight aint going to the scorecards!

    Winnable fight for Khan...he holds nearly all of the advantages.

    Very dangerous though..Even though David isnt a big puncher, he has enough to hurt Amir and his will in near unshakable.

    Id be surprised if they were looking to take a fight like this yet.

    Katsidis does not have a good set of Whiskers,he was out on his feet against Earl and KO'd by Casamayor, he's also susceptible to cuts.

    He is a very entertaining fighter though and he can bang, it would be dangerous for Khan but one he could win.

    Slow but tough Diaz would be a good match for Khan.

    what is sickening is, if khan didnt have a dodgy chin he would be up there competing with jmm and mp.
    major shame.

    He literally bounced up from Earl and destroyed him.

    Katsidis is durable and tough, and would actually punch back. It's winnable, but I say he stops Khan in about 9.
