    He doesn't make it out alive vs any of those three. He deserves absolutely no shot until he beats a top gun.

    Khan can beat Porter & he has the IBF, so this fight needs to happen in December

    Maidana's a top gun.

    I think he drew with Floyd.

    It's not about who deserves it it's about money. A Khan fight will bring in more than the others you've listed.

    I think Porter stops Khan. No way he's keeping him off.

    Khan Porter is a reasonable fight but that is mostly to do with the IBF Commission and Porter's mandatories. Thurman is the one who is to deserve anything and that includes a fight with Khan, I doubt Thurman's team and handlers would put him against Khan at this point. Like Garcia, Matthysse is a step back back to 140 pounds for Khan who already built himself to 147 so it is up to Danny and Lucas to fight each other at LWW or to step up to 147 and face Amir. In my opinion, Alexander would be a much stiffer test to Khan in the mean time.

    How is Matthysse a top gun at 147? Should replace him with someone like Bradley.

    If he beat Thurman (unlikely) would you give him credit or would you just say 'who's Thurman beat?', 'he's a hype job' etc?

    Khan looked good last night but Thurman & Porter will likely stop him. Terrible matchups for Khan.

    Khan definitely deserves the Porter/Brook winner in december.
    A lot of people are gassed over Porter following his Malignaggi win but are forgetting Khan destroyed Malignaggi years ago, I actually expect Brook to beat Porter setting up a British superfight in December.

    I'm a fan of Khan and thought he was jobbed in not getting the Mayweather fight.

    And I think the commentary was pretty shitty from the SHOWTIME crew in their criticisms of the alleged holding. Just part of boxing. And Collaxo did a lot of bellyaching when he should have been fighting.

    That said, despite the KDs, it was abundantly evident that Amir did not carry his power up to 147. Collazo had no respect whatsoever for Khan's power and held his hands low for most of the fight. If Collazo approached Porter or Thurman like that he would get KOd early.

    I think Khan should maybe forget about 147 and go clean out the 140.

    He could start by thrashing that ill-bred, little ****, AB.

    He just beat Collazo who is most definitely a top gun. Like it or not, he will get the payday he was promised without having to go through the likes of Porter and Thurman. Let's be real here, Porter and Thurman would obliterate him off the payday for good.
