    If JMM opts to fight his Mandatory then Khan will fight Ortiz or Maidana, as he's stated many times before. Happy haters? :happy

    ortiz is the toughest fight for him out of all of those

    he should leave little marquez alone and fight someone in his own weightclass with skills and power

    hatton khan would be a joke.

    we will when he actually fights them and not because he said he will.

    I'll give Khan credit if he fights Ortiz or Maidana but not JMM.

    I hope JMM refuses but chances are the payday will be too good to turn down.

    im undecided on hatton. i do believe he is shot, but then again it could just be that he overtrained and pac is amazing. the problem is hatton would need a comeback fight first, but i doubt he would get himself motivated for a comeback fight.

    out of those 3, ortiz is the toughest fight by far, he is the combination of skill and power to really trouble khan, i would still favour khan however. the only problem with the ortiz fight is you just know there would be loads of hate coming khans way. he does need to get rid of maidana, i wont give him any mor ecredit cos i expect him to steamroll maidana and it wont prove anything to me, but hopefully it will shut the haters up.

    agreed that the best choice for building his fanbase would probably be maidana

    the toughest fight would definitely be ortiz but i doubt gbp would let it happen, theyre trying to rebuild vic and they dont want khan to sputter out either.

    To be honest, who's Ortiz got left to fight? I mean look at who he's fighting.

    The guy wants Khan and so does his manager. I see it happening in the near future.

    No your not Amir... your team is chasing a JMM fight and the other two are contingents. He will get no credit for beating JMM from real boxing fans

    Judah, Maidana II, Kotelnik, Holt or Peterson. Lots of options up there and I just don't think GBP wants to damage either of their potentials huge earners. just my take.

    :lol: Yeah you're right. I completely forgot about these names. Guess there's been so much talk about the top 5 that we forget that this division is loaded. Too bad them guys aren't coming into play.

    nothing has been agreed to yet, its just words coming from his mouth, khan talks alot.

    if he does figfht marquez i wont fault him despite the age weight etc but it i the fight after that which is important

    he usually throws multiple names and fights somebody else, i'd like him to fight hatton and would find this acceptable for a number of reasons even though hatton hasnt fought in over a year.

    1. hatton brings in money
    2. would be in uk and i would go.
    3 Hatton was a **** when i met him
    4. for that khan will kick his ass.
    5. bookies will more then likely be in favor of hatton so then i will bet on khan

    this is the problem, unless he fights maidana he will get **** on by people. alexander/bradley = no power. judah = shot. ortiz = maidana left overs.

    i personally dont see where all the maidana hype has come from, and i envision it being an easy night for khan. that being said the hype is there, and it will probs do more for him to beat maidana, than to beat ortiz.
