    Opinion based , id like Judah in those above mentioned fights , specifically against Maidana , Judah would be the most polished and skilled fighter Maidana would have fought , Morales nearly stopped him with clean boxing skill , it would require alot of heart from Judah to stand in front of Maidana and beat him to the punch but if he did he wins that fight easily IMO , or he has a tricky last 3 or 4 rounds .

    Alexander may be a little bit too fresh for Judah but i think Zab would outbox him while making him miss a lot , Alexander can be very wastefull and hasnt got a great gas tank , thats a pick em for me

    There's no stand out opponent. Judah or Morales would be good from a financial perspective and I would expect him to win both fights, not by miles though.

    Winner of Alexander/Matthysse would be a good shout for later in the year.

    To be honest, he might as well move up, get a couple decent fights against the likes of Berto, Jones, Ortiz and hope that Mayweather wants a fight eventually.

    Mayweather would be the logical choice post Khan - Judah / Guerrero / Morales & Ortiz / Mayweather

    Manny will be wrapped up with Marquez therefore Mayweather - Khan in the winter would now be my favourite

    I agree.

    Zab is definitely past his best but he'll be dangerous, especially for 1-6 rounds against Khan. A southpaw with speed and power will knock over Khan. I'd give Judah a decent chance of doing it.

    Getting Khan vs Mayweather signed would be like plaiting ****.

    Absolutely no chance.

    Can you imagine though :zzz

    PED's
    HBO money
    Sky money
    Time
    Date
    Venue
    Twitter wars
    Roach vs The Mayweathers
    Floyd Sr vs Asif Vali
    ''You don't deserve the payday....''
    ''Get rid of your boss....''
    ''I want more than you....''
    ''You lost to a bum.....''

    More Craig Slater dick sucking of Floyd on SSN - ''Have you got a message for all your British fans, Floyd?'' - ''I love y'all, my UK fans....';

    Got to admit though I'd love to see someone launch into Khan's flunkies on Twitter :lol:

    I'd like to see him face Peterson.

    But if not him, then Judah would be a good fight. Khan would look good against him, providing he doesn't get careless in the first few rounds.

    I don't know. Seeing Floyd Snr making up some rhymes about Vali and taxi driving would be mildly amusing :lol:

    Because after the Alexander fight Hbo offered the guys 1.2million to air there next fight. Khan made Bradley an offer of 1.3 million so Bradley decided to fight a bum for an easy pay day then maybe fight Khan.

    Thats not what has been said , correction , thats one of two things that have been said ;

    Bradley has reportedly refused an offer of $850'000 , now there saying he's refused an offer of $1.3M , either way i think its fair to say of those two sums both paydays are handsome for somebody in Bradley's shoe's regardless of what Khan is getting .

    I understand (and this has been widely said) that in order to get Bradley and Alexander in the ring they offered them a GUARANTEED $1m+ for their next fight - whether it be against others or a rematch.

    With it being only a trade fight, which ended up being boring, HBO have kinda shot themselves in the foot here.

    Whilst Bradley does look a little daft right now I can fully understand him wanting to ''cash in his chip'' against a lesser opponent, and leave the Khan fight which will still be there afterwards.

    If you've got a $1m+ guarantee against anyone reasonable, or $1.3m for Khan with no guarantee afterwards it's a no-brainer.

    The only problem is that he might lose the backing of HBO and be on dodgy terms with GBP. But Arum is the king maker with the Golden Goose..... and a nice deal with Showtime in his back pocket.
