    If Kahn can beat Malignaggi on saturday, albeit via stoppage or on points, who should he fight next and why?

    BTW, ive gone for Maidana, as i feel Kahn might think he could be able to outbox the big punching Argentine over 12

    Bradley is a good boxer without massive punch power. Maidana is a puncher without good boxing skills. Devon is a mixture of the 2 and I think Khan can prove better with this guy.

    I think he will win, but don't really know who he'll fight next, it won't be Maidana for sure! Guess it would be Victor or Nate.

    I'd say anybody except Devon, he'll have nightmares against Devons southpaw style and quick hands, especially his right hook.

    Really don't know who he will fight as right now it is unclear what career path Khan will take. Will he slowly step up the competition and if he continues to win, fight the best out there? Or will he be cleverly managed so as to avoid the biggest risks? I hope its the former.

    As for the fighters you mentioned i think he should fight Maidana as its the easiest fight for him. Obviously if Maidana connects its lights out for Khan but it will be hard for the tough but very limited Argentinian to connect cleanly.

    GBP are crossing their fingers and hoping Diaz wins to keep the title in house with a fight with Khan.
    It wouldn't shock me though if both Paulie and Nate upset the apple cart.

    Is the question who will he fight or who should he fight, this is very crucial because the answer will be a completely different class of fighter for which quesion you mean.

    I'm actually excited for this fight.

    Should be fun.

    Will be rooting for Amir, by UD.

    i read in a magazine interview he wants bradley and that he could punch maidanas head off and give him a boxing lesson?

    I like to think it would be Bradley or Maidana, but Maidana isn't fighting Bradley because of that back injury or something. So It could be the winner of the Ortiz or Campbell, which I think is Ortiz. However! All this talk of Khan being scared of this and that person needs to stop, its ****ing stupid, just because he had plans for a US Debut he is suddenly scared of everybody? Amir Khan has not had enough fights to be accused of ducking anybody yet, so people need to shut the **** up about that ****.

    Who will he fight.

    i disagree, i think he will be forced into fighting a top level fighter after Paulie, for me he is the logical stepping stone to the bigger fights

    Yep. Amir Khan cannot go back after this fight, he has to just keep climbing, everybody knows that.

    For me that was the reason why he joined GBP and ditched Frank Warren. I would love to see him in there with any of these guys, bar Nate Campbell really as he is too old now IMO.

    I like Campbell.

    Good match up for his current level.

    Not top class P4P level, but will make you pay if you don't fight smart.
