    Amir Khan has three options apparently according to WBN (not Judah Or Bradley).....Maidana, Morales or Guerrero.

    Question is....out of the three which one do you want to see....apparently the favourite is Maidana at this stage....realistically they need to announce an opponent by the end of this week...?

    i wanna see him against Guererro, i don't think a Maidana rematch would be as exciting as the first fight, plus i think Guererro is much better than Maidana.

    Guerrero fight would be the most difficult one for him.

    Would have like to see him face Judah.

    Morales despite a good showing against maidana is too old for khan and his speed would be telling against an older slower morales.

    Guerrero would be very difficult for khan, and I see it as a close fight, khan biggest advantage here is his ability to get off first and his size advantage over gurrero who only just moved to 135lbs, so to move up again might not be good for Guerrero, although he did look good in his last fight with katsidis.

    The most exciting fight would be a maidana rematch. The sheer nature of the fighters and their respective vulnerabilities would make it interesting. And remember the first fight maidana had to recover from a devastating body shot, so early rounds were khans and late rounds he had less fuel in the tank. This time it could be even closer.

    It could or khan could hurt him ealier and have time to really put a beat down on Maidana and get a stoppage. Khan won fair and sqaure having to survive a lot in round 10 and 11 but he did it. Bring on Gurrero good fighter yeah hes coming up in weight but hes a big guy a left and good technically.

    I think on July 23 Khan will either face Guerrero or Judah no matter what WBN says.Judah im sure is in the running and if paid pretty well will take the fight.

    No surprise HBO want a Maidana rematch. This would be best and if Sky are still open to deal with Khan then I think they would be happy with a 2nd maidana fight.

    Khan-Maidana II would be epic, but I don't think it would live upto the first fight which was a great fight to watch.

    Khan should stay away from Guerrero, that's a tough tough fight for Khan.

    are you asking who do you want him to fight or who will her fight?

    hopefully Maidana if not get him in with Guererro.

    Forget these three, they've gotta go for the Judah fight, followed by the bradley fight
