    Khan can get the stoppage easily, all he needs is Ian John Lewis reffing the fight!

    Theophane is tough, there's a chance Amir stops him late through accumulation of punches, but I doubt it.

    Ashley would be a tough opponent for Khan. He's cagey, always in shape, durable so at some point he will have a chance in a fight with Khan. Limmond and Gomez hurt Khan, Prescott annihilated him, Theophane is better than them.

    Interesting responces, thanks! I think Theophanes experience would help him go the distance.

    Do you think Khan should retire then?

    Because if he can't beat a guy like Joesesito lopez there is no point continuing.

    Nope, because...

    Yup, if it's not Ashley, then it'll be some other softer touch - which is a wise thing to do, in my opinion. He's still finding his feet under Virgil and he didn't show enough improvements against Molina to suggest he's safe enough to step back in with the best of 140. One more tune-up opponent and one more camp under the new trainer, and then he should step in with a Josesito or someone similar that will pose a solid challenge. Then he can get that fight with Garcia.

    Edit: I personally think a Victor Cayo would be respectable opponent next.

    I'd expect the location could be correct, didn't he come out and say he was heading up GBP venture into the UK market? Amir shouldn't and IMO won't be arsing about fighting Theophane though.
