    Now that he can't get the fight with Floyd, are?

    Brook? That won't happen till next year.

    Garcia? I'd like to see this rematch. Khan beats him via TKO this time.

    Maidana? I'd love to see it. First fight was a barnburner!

    Bradley? Surprised they haven't fought, full stop.

    Thurman? Doubtful.

    Who's left that's acceptable and decent?

    But I also wonder what bum Brook will fight.

    World champion, 30+ fights , title defenses yet he only has Porter as a legit win

    His record is downright horrible.

    Chaves. The guy that everyone speaks of like some sort of legend, yet has no meaningful wins. It'll be him.

    Thurman
    Maidana
    JMM
    Bradley
    Floyd
    Manny

    Fights someone ranked 11th-15th instead.

    Khan should be pushing for the Garcia rematch, would easily outpoint him and exorcise the biggest demon in his career (possibly bar Prescott), but I doubt his team would want to risk a repeat. And if he can beat Garcia he'd have a far far better chance of getting the floyd fight next time aroun

    If he takes the Thurman fight then fair play as he could easily get chinned

    We keep hearing this "everyone is tied up" comment all the time.

    How about this time next year when Kell has beaten Chaves and a few non-top 10 fighters, what will your excuse be then?

    Brook, Garcia, Bradley, Thurman. He has had enough time at welterweight now if he doesn't fight one of these he is a joke.

    He called Keith Thurman "Sometimes" instead of "One Time" - so go on Amir, put that glass on the line and prove your own prophecy correct, surely that fight can be made?
    But in order I'd like to see Khan fight:
    1) Kel Brook,
    2) D Garcia,
    3) S Porter

    Forget the names we want to see him fight, Khan won't fight Brook or Thurman.

    So I think Maidana is ideal, this is a different Maidana, a far better version than the one Khan first faced.

    Also Maidana's stock it very high after the two Mayweather fights so it's a high enough profile fight.

    And it has always been a criticism levelled at Khan that he never gave Maidana a rematch in a very close and entertaining fight so it would finally kill that.
