    Should be an easy workout for Khan.
    Peterson's might make it interesting if he continually manages to land his body shots.

    No. I'm saying I want Khan to prove himself to be the "King" he claims to be by beating Bradley, or Morales at the very least. The Peterson fight is decent but no substitute. I'm thinking more in terms of Khan's legacy and fighting the best available before he moves up in weight.

    Beating Morales will prove he is the "King"? :lol: If anything, Khan is going to get a lot of hate for fighting Morales.

    Bradley ducked Khan so what to do? Mathysse and Peterson were the best options for Khan in December. Peterson is his mandatory so I guess they are going with that.

    It is a legitimate fight against a top 10 140 pounder

    Probably the best opponent that Khan could have faced that he hasn't already beaten and actually willing to fight.

    Khan wins every round, routine defence.

    decent opponent, but would rather have seen him fight Prescott.

    I'm not criticizing Khan - I like him as a fighter. I just wish things could have turned out in a way that would have seen him fight the likes of Bradley before moving up. A fighter can't really claim to have "unified" a division by holding just 2 of 4 belts - whether or not this is the fighter's fault is irrelevant. In Khan's case, given all that's happening, it does seem unavoidable however.

    When Khan moves up I want the Bradley fight to happen. That's definately on my wish list.

    No one can blame Amir for not fighting Bradley. He wanted the fight and pushed for it. Timmy, for business reasons, elected not to.

    Peterson is a decent fighter and a worthy challenger in the division. He's coming off an excellent performance and has the skills to pose Amir some problems.

    He should go for WBC title against Morales
