Paulie someone like that has a good name, yet is pretty low risk. Plus if he can beat him better than Khan then it sets up a great fight with Khan.
That's a good option. You also have the Berto/Ortiz winner, Mike Jones and Devon Alexander out there. Welterweight is collecting some quality talent outside of the big two. Khan and Peterson might be moving up in weight soon as well. Brook vs. the winner of that fight would be a good scrap.
I think Berto/Ortiz winner is a little out of reach for him yet. I'd like to see that maybe 2 fights down the road. Also neither of Berto/Ortiz hold a belt and Kell Brook being who he is, they will want to get him a title shot soon. Not just waste his talents fighting good fights with no reward. I'd also like to see him go back to America for his next fight so he gets more accustomed with the experience of BIG fights.
Wasn't that long ago Khan said he would never fight anyone with Matchroom again. Did he see the writing on the wall?:think
Beating the Berto/Ortiz winner would give him a lot of reward. Berto fights generally do good ratings, and a lot more people are now familiar with Ortiz. His handlers would be idiots to turn down that fight. The more likely scenario is that the winner of that fight would have no interest in him, as he offers not much in the way of a reward for them.
Mike Jones, assuming he wins the vacant IBF strap If he wont fight Kell or fails OSDT then Khan would be a monster fight in the UK
