    Anyone in the top 12 or so looks sort of dangerous at this point besides Malignaggi.

    Josesito Lopez might have a good comeback fight with Khan.

    And I'd love to see him against Ortiz. Battle of the glass chin.

    I'm not sure. El Chino's defense has greatly improved and he looked good actually working behind a jab last time out. Khan's confidence must be shook as well.

    Jo Jo Dan, and not with confidence.

    Khan would get KTFO by Carson Jones.

    :nono Tell that to Senchenko, who was an unbeaten world champion when he stepped in with Manos di Piedra.

    Realistically, he could beat:

    Ortiz (depends on how much he gets hit)
    Zaveck
    Guerrero
    Bailey (depends on if he gets clipped)
    Alexander
    Maidana
    Brook
    Lopez

    Would he potentially get KO'd by all of them? Yes.

    It's hard to call Amir fights at this point; he obviously has talent, but that chin...:-(

    It isn't just about the chin, is he strong enough to keep big welters off him and get their respect with his own power? (which looks more and more middling as he moves up)

    He's got that speed, yeah, great, but bulking up is going to diminish that and he's never been able to maximize his speed anyway with his horribly inaccurate style of spraying punches.

    I think he probably gets lain flat by most of those. :conf His only realistic option is to fight in such a safety-first style that he loses a majority of rounds against any of those guys with a halfway decent work rate.

    I thought about Carson Jones but his accuracy is shocking. Mathew Hatton maybe.

    You do realize that Khan is perhaps even more inaccurate, yes?

    1,000x faster than CJ, but that doesn't mean much when your opponent can time one peach while you're flailing your arms about...

    I dunno, I'm bored of him to be honest so I don't really care anymore. Everytime he gets knocked the **** out he switches trainers, like it was their fault:nut

    I thought Khan had a decent enough connect rate. Khan Jones would be Petterson all over again.

    You don't think he wastes/misses a ridiculous amount of punches? :blood
