    He's been talking a lot recently, he's been calling out all the big names!

    The winner of Bradley-Alexander, assuming the fight goes ahead as planned.

    Before the Bradley/Alexander fight, Judah or Prescott both worthy scalps infact the Prescott fight would would be so easy for him at this point and no one would even give him crap for taking it, he could use the whole 'payback' blah blah angle.

    Cant fight Ortiz because of GBP !
    Prescott will be a pointless fight, one which khan would win aswell!
    Zab judah wants the fight, but we all know khan will hand his ass to him!
    Maidana may want a rematch, eventhough khan will gain nothing from fighting him again!
    Guzman maybe a good option, seeing as he is highly ranked and still unbeaten!
    Now whose left is Lamont Peterson, who I think will fight khan next !

    ortiz, peterson, judah or matthyse!
    who he fights next depends on 3 things.....
    1. preparing for the winner of the bradley - alexander bout ( in which case he will fight ortiz or peterson matthyse etc)
    2. he may want to have a showcase fight in the uk for his fans so he may choose someone like judah, who is a good tune up dont get me wrong, but it is more of a showcase and money fight (which he has every right to do as he has just beat maidana and is waiting for the unification bout)
    3. he decides to rematch prescott for his own personal reason, which i would not blame in the slightest even though most knowledgeable experts see this as an easy win for khan.

    only time will tell but i think those are the options and their reasons

    Peterson, Guzman or Urango all have good potential for a keep busy fight and have quite a lot to offer in terms of gaining experience for Khan

    He will fight Peterson. Perfect type of fighter to get him ready for Bradley when he beats Alexander.

    No point in Prescott. He just beat a better version of him.

    Ortiz would be a good fight, but GPB won't allow it.

    Judah is fighting for the IBF

    Personally I'd like to see him fight Kell Brook. I no he had thought Afrobums to date, but he has the power to trouble khan as well as the boxing skills. But it won't happen

    Peterson would be the best matchup for him if he's to take on Bradley afterwards.

    Peterson.

    Khan needs to start beating these slick black American fighters.
