    Hi Guys

    So been a busy week of boxing. Lots of rumour going around bout this guy did this and that guy did that! He is ducking him bla bla bla. :tired

    Well with Amir Khan recently beating Zab Judah who do you want him to fight next? Morales looks like he mite be out the picture as he is focusing his attention on a re-match with Marcos Maidana. You have Floyd now saying Khan is ducking Vargas which in my mind is just another stunt by Money Mayweather. Maidana has gone very quiet on the demanding a rematch front same as McCloskey. Well share your views guys. Who do you want him to fight next?

    tbh still think he needs to exorcise the prescott ghosts, tim bradlety would be the only other fight at 140 id like to see him in, but bradley wants no part of khan whatsoever

    Someone with a title. Prescott is pointless.

    Especially when Mcloskey beats him.

    It's either Peterson or the winner of Maidana/Guerrero.

    Count everyone else out.

    My ideal scenario would be for Matthysse to beat Morales to get his hand on the WBC strap, and then for Khan to try and get a shot at him. His claim of unifying the titles will be a more solid one if it’s done this way. Whereas if it is Morales, a win over him will always be picked at – despite proving he [Morales] will have deserved to have held the WBC belt.

    Second choice would be Guerrero if he beats Maidana. A win over someone like that would add a bit more weight to his resume at 140.

    Not really too keen the Peterson fight or a Maidana rematch to be honest. The latter is way too risky with very little reward.

    Guerrero for me. Would be a real test for Khan.

    Your first option about Matthysse won't happen I'm afraid, Rico.

    The morons that are the WBC are going to make Soto-Alfaro for the WBC Interim title... so the winner of that will probably face the winner of Mattysse-Morales.

    I honestly think it'll be Peterson.

    And Bradley as "champion in recess" has first crack at the winner if he wants it

    Holding an interim won't immediately get a person a shot at the regular title. The powers in play will know that a unification with Khan will generate more interest. I have a bad feeling that if it's Morales that wins, a fight with Khan will definitely be made. But if Matthysse wins, then GBP won't really bother with a unification. They'll probably settle for a safer option in Peterson like you say.

    Whatever the political background, I want to see him fight Bradley. It’s good to establish a genuine champ in a division and it’ll be an interesting fight.

    A fight with Timid Bradley at 140 is dead.

    I see two numpties have voted for Prescott :roll:

    When McCloskey dominates (and hopefully stops) him will people still drone on about it?
