    Isnt it?

    Lucas Martin Matthysse beat Zab Judah and Devon Alexander, didnt get the decision. He is the best out there apart from Bradley who dont want it

    I would watch this fight! Matthysse may not bring enough to the table to entice Khan, since he's not going to spend a load of time at 140, but it would be a great choice of opponent.

    It is , but right now I think Khan wants Mayweather money, and I dont think that Mattysse brings any coin to the table.

    Look for Khan to fight Morales in a fight he can look good against a legend.

    Let's have a round of applause for Khan-Morales because that's what will likely be put together for December.

    Shame that Bradley and Khan aren't fighting. If possible, I'd like to see the winner of Maidana-Guerrero materialize a fight with Khan. Otherwise I'll take Khan vs: Alexander or Matthysse or K. Brook. If Rios decides to make the jump to 140...hell, I'm not going argue if he wants to dance with Khan on his first day of class.

    Too much of a high risk low reward. I have no doubt Khan would take the fight but would Goldenboy? they seem to be set on Morales...

    khan prescott makes sense to me. if bradly wont step up and fight amir then the only worth while fight which will improve his record is avenging his only loss. once he's done that and if bradly still doesn't want to fight he should move up to welter.

    Fighting Prescott would make sense in the UK but it would hardly register in the US. If HBO and Goldenboy are going to part with another million they will make sure they can get some mileage out of it. Morales' name has alot of recognition.

    it has recognition but in most boxing fans eyes doesn't give him much credibility. a win over an old morales at light welter is not a fight people will rate when looking back on his legacy. morales might of handled maidana but khan is too quick and tall for erik.
