Amir Khan has pick of opponents for December return

Im of the opinion neither Khan or Bradley can call themselves the outright #1 JrWW in the world until theyve fought , naturally Khan will emerge as the #1 ranked JrWW because Bradley has gone off the radar with no talk of an opponent , contractual issues , and refusing to face Khan , so ofcourse Amir will be seen as the best fighter of the two until Bradley re emerges .

As for Khan's next opponent , if he wishes to go up to 147 immediatley after his Dec clash for Floyd / Ortiz , why the **** isnt Zavek / Berto being considered ??? , if / when Guerrero hands Maidana his ass (if indeed he does :think) then for me Guerrero would / should emerge as the clear favourite for Khan's next outing .

The Morales option for me is plain and simple cherry picking , nothing further to say on that , Matthyse is credible and should he stop Morales then again why not .......... !!!!

In summary

Khan - Guerrero (should he beat Maidana) - WBA LWW
Zavek / Berto - Khan - IBF WW
Khan - Matthyse (has to stop Morales to make it credible) - WBA & WBC LWW

In that order , ill also add , since when have GB gave a **** about credibility when negotiating a fight with Khan , so should Morales emerge victorious expect that fight to happen should Morales take it :deal

 

Im of the opinion that the Matthysse/Morales winner is a reasonable enough challenger. IT would be good if he could unify the entire weight class before going up but im not sure if thats going to be likely/possible anymore with bradley being stripped thats just another fight. Before it was judah and Bradley then it became judah, bradley, morales/matthysse, madiana/guerrero and if he wants to get that fight with mayweather i doubt hell take all those fights.

 

Hopefully Matthysse gets hold of that WBC belt. A clash between him and Khan would be great.

 

Matthysse has the kind of style that is always going to give Khan problems, I'll be honest only Matthysee or Maidana vs Khan really interest me as they have the best chance of beating him IMO.

If Guerrero beats Maidana then he would have proved to be legit so i guess that fight would be interesting as well.

 

**** off WBA with these stupid belts ArgggggggggGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH

 

The choice of opponents is quite appealing compared to other fighters out there, at least Khan chooses opponents that attract a bit of interest and competition.

Morrales - Agreed he is not the fighter he used to be but the Maidana fight showed he has some left in the tank where people thought he would not last 4 rounds.

Guerrero - Slightly smaller but then again a talented boxer, the way he handled Katsidis gives him a very good chance of beating Khan.

Matthysse - Very similar to Maidana maybe a bit quicker and less crude but has vry good punch power again may cause serious problems for Khan.

Maidana (Rematch) - If this goes ahead then Sky will be weeping (doubt it will happen though).

Personally I don't think he needs to fight Maidana again, when Khan took the initial fight the assumption was he would go down the first clean punch Maidana landed on him, but that didn't happen and he didn't go down for 12 rounds. You can argue all day long about round 10 but the fact is Khan was hurt and he stayed in there whereas many other fighters would have broke at that point. Any of these fights would be great, Morrales fight is a good idea to pick up another belt on the way (assuming Morrales beats Matthyyse). Don't forget if Khan is moving up to 147 there will be no more easy options for him.

The last thing you can do is accuse Khan of cherry picking.

 

Khan-Matthyse would be a great fight.

 

"Don't forget if Khan is moving up to 147 there will be no more easy options for him".

Could be true but that WBA champion is pretty ****.

 

He should fight Luis Carlos Abregu.
It was a great fight for Timothy so no one would complain if Khan took him on......

 

I'm afraid it doesn't work like that for Khan. He would get criticised for fighting anyone.

If he beat Mayweather next year then people would still say he beat a shot or old Mayweather at the end of his career. I know it sounds stupid but trust me I wouldn't be surprised if these kind of comments came out.

 

I hope it is Bradley, when the hell is Bradley returning anyway??

If it isn't Bradley then he could go for the WBC belt and say he unified the division as much as he could.... Or just move up and fight Senchenko for the title.

 

Maidana/Guererro should be for the WBC strap, why do Morales and Matthyse deserve a title fight? their both coming off losses (2 in Matthyse's case) Khan and his team are clearly praying for a Morales win so Khan can put his name on his record then in a few years time when people are talking about the brilliant Morales/Barerra trilogy Amir can say he beat them both! the guy f-kin pisses me off!!

 

The fight with Timid Bradley is dead. There's no chance of that happening at 140 any more.

 

**** what Boxrec says, Matthysse isn't coming off a loss.

Morales certainly doesn't deserve a title shot, but I've got no problem with Lucas getting one.
