After Peterson gives Khan hell do u think Khan will move up and face Bailey for the vacant IBF belt? If he's smart he should, with a belt he can demand more at 147, and even better positioing himself for a big Pac, Berto, Ortiz or floyd fight. The fight with Bailey should be easy, but being Bailey has 1 punch game changing power do you think Khan will risk it. Yes, I understand Judah had some what of the same power, but Bailey will come forward swinging for the fences all night long unlike scary Judah. by the way Peterson will be the first fighter khan has fought his size since Prescott. If he stops peterson I'll give him big props because I beleive hime to be better than when he fought Bradely.
IMO, Khan will give Peterson hell, not the other way around. Khan will go for Ortiz or Berto and get the fight in a heartbeat with or without the IBF title.
Khan is big enough and good enough to be in the WW div. I think Ortiz or Berto is a good test to see if he really belongs there or not. I think he is.
A stepping stone and nothing else maybe, Khan would destroy him. Peterson is also getting dominated, trust me.
