    I'd keep him away from Diaz. He was beating JMM on my card (what a fight it was too, FOTY 09 imo )until that cut just put him right off his game which lead to him being KO'd

    Diaz is still relatively young and would beat amir fairly comfortably by TKO imo. Khan would have the reach advantage but most guys do against Diaz and he still manages to work his way to the inside. His fast combos would give Khan nightmares.

    Im not sure who I would put him in with although they need to tread carefully coz fans wont appreciate it if he keeps fighting soft punchers etc. Once your a world champion you need to start fighting world level opposition.

    I reckon Warren will put him in with Prescott for a rematch if he beats Salita (which is no guarantee. Maybe Gavin Rees will get a shot too.....who knows when it comes to Warren lol :)

    Kahn needs to be careful selecting his oponents because I think he will definitely be knocked out again. He reminds me of Dunne. Great boxer but no chin. Its such a weakness against the top guys. Stay away from Maidana, bradley etc.

    Mallinagi is taylor made for kahn. He'll be the man I think.

    Certainly the lighter punching choice but beating Malignaggi will be no easy feat. Paulie is imo as quick as Khan and you rarely see him beaten easily. He gave Cotto nightmares and more recently Diaz. But I suppose thats the kind of fights Khan needs to take if he wants to be taken seriously as a world champ. Frank has to take the stablizers off and let him step up to the plate. Also, he is still young enough to comeback if he gets beaten (although two or three KO's like the one he got from Prescott will do irreparable damage to his career and perhaps his health too.

    Malignaggi would be good because of his soft punching. I think Khan is faster so he could easily outbox him for 12 rounds. Also, the fact Malignaggi has fought Hatton means he is quite well known over here unlike Kotelnik, Salita, Maidana, etc. He would get more credit for beating him.

    Just wait till Fat Frankie manouvers Rees into the top 10 and sells it as the battle of Britain.
