    Problem is, no one "disposes" of Urango with ease. Win or lose it wouldn't be a fight where Khan could showcase his talents that much; Urango is very hard to look good against. The best you could hope for would be a Kotelnik-like run like a ******* for 12 rounds. Urango is slow and plodding, but he is remorseless, and he packs a very good dig. I'm not too sure whether the risk/reward factor weighs that heavily in Khan's favour in this one.

    I'd personally like to see Amir in with Maidana at some stage; that fight would tell us a lot.

    Yeah but people only seem to use Mr when Amir Khan comes up, no other boxer gets that MR treatment, unless you love him that much.

    I'd like to see him fight Malignaggi next. I'd be very wary matching him with the divisions elite,he's still too inexperienced for this at the moment. Maybe have 2-3 winnable fights before taking a risk.

    Anyway I don't really care who Khan fights from here on as long as its not a step down and it remains a challenge. But honestly if I see another 12 round decision I am not ordering any more PPV's I will just download it after, I wish he had Manny's power.

    That was kind of my point. If he could win by a wide margin then we'd know he was worthy of that strap he now carries round with him. Agree anyone would be hard pushed to look great against Urango but think that someone with the appropriate skills out points him by a wide margin. I'd also like to see how he would cope with that 'good dig'.

    Not suggesting for a minute it will happen (as you say too much risk not enough reward) but I think it would be a good test for Khan at this stage, which is what I want to see.

    Once Khan beats Salita, i'd like him to fight Alexander.
    If the WBA decide to strip him, (hard to see it I know), Warren could portray Amir as a victim; someone trying to unify the division and being prevented from doing so by the powers that be.
    If this were to happen the Alexander fight would represent another incremental step up in class and would be for another legitimate title.

    mallinaggi would be my choice, could be an entertaining fight both men are quick plus its gets khan a bit more exposure if it happens on the undercard of mannys next fight in the states? and paulies feather fisted so warren wont have to worry too much.

    a unification with alexander would be interesting.

    Khan might aswell test himself....if he wants to be a legend then you need to do stuff that is legendary....what a way to do if you unified the division.

    T. Bradley WBO
    D. Alexander WBC
    Urango IBF


    These arent godly fighters. Take the risk go for it, smash your ceiling of potential.

    It would be a good idea to get Maidana while he's hot (ie: coming off that win over Ortiz). Mightn't be long before Maidana goes cold again, if/when he gets in the ring with another Kotelnik-like technician.

    Plus it gets the mandatory out of the way; isn't Maidana the mandatory challenger after Salita is taken care of? :think

    If Maidana is good enough he'll still be around in a couple of fights time. Don't want anymore hype jobs for Khan. Yes the W over Maidana might end up meaning more if he got it now but I'm not personally interested in that. He is interim champ so presumably would be Khan's next manadatory but he should be allowed a voluntary in between.
