    David Diaz isn't really big enough for PPV, it will have to be a bigger name or for a world title.

    Valero would absolutely murder Khan. I'm going to agree with most of you and say that Diaz is next.

    Yes he has been mentioned but again in the same vein as Valero, I think Khan would lose badly to Katsidis and very badly to Valero who is a monster :yep

    I would not make too much of Warren mentioning a possible Khan-Valero match.

    Valero was impressive last night. We all know that he's a KO artist, but I don't think there were many, if any at all, who saw a second round KO as the result!

    Valero would hurt Khan. If Khan loses again, especially if its anythnig similar to that of his first & only defeat to date, there really is no way back for commodity Khan!

    Khan would have the edge in handspeed, but Valero is by no means slow. I actually think moving up to LW has helped Valero & he might even hit harder now. It was rumoured he was having real difficulty making 130lbs, hence the move up! Valero certainly looked a sharper puncher last night!

    I think Valero will become a more rounded & complete fighter, improve with each outing. I don't think he would give Khan a chance to get into any kind of rhythm. Once he hurt Khan, he would not let him off the hook!

    In saying that, I think it would be a unwise move putting Khan in with Valero.

    Prescott was much, much less known than Diaz and they still made that fight a PPV.

    If Khan fights Diaz, they'll find a way to prop him up as a dangerous ex-champ who's a huge step up in class.
