    Bingo. Who would he fight at 140? Bradley and Ortiz are at 147.

    Could happen, im not sure though I think brook is talented as well.
    This fight would be much better if brook could get a fight with senchenko later this year and be an beltholder by the time khan moves up to face him.

    I have read that bradley will stay at 140, im really dissapointed that now he is free yet he still doent make a effort to fight khan, it would be such a logical fight for both guys later this year and would improve the winners legacy greatly.

    They're determined to have Amir fight Mayweather. Trust me they're not going to put him in with anyone who has a chance of beating Amir until he fights Floyd.

    Well you know if Prescott beats McClowskey in Sept. it will be mandatory for the WBA champ to face him. Just a thought.

    Are you guys serious Did you see how big he looked against Judah? this guy has to be draining like hell to make weight, but since he's you he can get away with it for now.

    Good points but, are there any resume/legacy building fights left at 140? Bradley and Ortiz are at WW now and he just beat the last big name left in the division. Only possible matchup worth his time is with Rios if he moves up in a couple years. Do you really want him to waste 2 years of his prime waiting on Rios or building a rematch with Maidana with all the possibilities at 147?

    Amir schedule:

    *Fight Tim Bradley if he's willing or winner of Rene vs Robert if they look good
    *Move up to 147
    *Fight Kell Brook in early 2012
    *Fight Victor Ortiz in mid 2012
    *Lose honorably to Floyd Jr in late 2012

    :deal

    Since when has bradley moved up to 147? Bradley wont do **** up there!

    They should just get it on...I dont think Bradley would move up especially as he know that Khan hasnt got long in JWW and he could just take all the belts when Khan vacates.

    Funny thing is that if Khan fight Floyd next year, and wins, he still wont get the proper recognition for it, as ppl will be like Floyd's now 34 or whatever.

    Khan is tight at 140 now, he can make the weight because he trains hard but the faster he moves up in weight the better it is for him.

    But now that Khan is super champ it won't be his mandatory it will be the regular champs mandatory (likely Maidana)

    Sounds like somebody isn't interested in seeing Khan avenge his only loss. No sweat, Tszyu never gave Phillips a chance to KO him again either.
