Let's all remember Freddie Roach is his trainer....ENOUGH SAID!!! Personally, I would love to see Khan in the ring with one of the Peterson Brothers, DAMN that would be a good fight. But Roach and Khan are Praying that Juan Diaz beats JMM. Because Diaz would be the perfect fighter to make Khan look good (ala Malignaggi). Humberto Soto recently talked about moving to 140lbs. I can see Khan out-boxing Soto easily. And of course there is the kid that just lost to Maidana, Victor Cayo..Could be another "Walk-in-the-Park" fight for Khan. If they're looking for a "Recognizable" Name Demetrius Hopkins (29-1) would be a good fight also. Kendall Holt is somewhat a "fading" fighter right now...But I doubt Roach takes that Chance, Because Holt can PUNCH!!!! The fighter that just beat Holt is a Top 10 140lbs fighter An African named Kaizer Mabuza, but because he lacks "name recognition", I doubt he gets a chance. And then there is Ricardo Torres. But he just had a fight at Jr. Middleweight...DAMN!!! Probable: Juan Diaz (if he beat JMM) Humberto Soto Victor Cayo Demetrius Hopkins My Wish list for Khan: Any one of the Peterson Brothers (Lamont or Anthony) or a Young Philly fighter name "HAMMERIN" Hank Lundy.

I have watched Lamont and Anthony Peterson BEG AND PLEAD for big name fights. Lamont Begged for Bradley. Got handled although a lesser fighter would gotten KO'd. Lamont was in talks with Valero in which Team Lamont INITIATED. Anthony Perterson tried with JMM, Guerreo, Guzman and Funeka (Funeka and Guzman wanted to fight each other again) Anthony also had a fight with Humberto Soto on the Foreman/Cotto undercard but SOTO BACKED-OUT. Lamont Begged for Alexander and he even offered to go to WW to fight Alfonso Gomez (according to an interview with Trainer Barry Hunter). Why do "Certain fighters have to Beg and Plead" just to get fights with "named" fighters or go "through the fire" and fight STIFF competition before they get a shot...while "other" fighters get this Well-Pathed, Protected Red-Carpet treatment to Stardom. Maidana is not some Highly thought-of fighter, that's why they matched him with Ortiz. Ortiz just showed that he really doesn't have to goods. Despite of what you think...I think Khan is a Solid Fighter (He impressed the hell out of me). But all I am saying is: "Now that you've made your US debut, 1-0 on US Soil. Now it's time to step-it-up. You want us to see you as a STAR...Do what Stars do, REPRESENT!!!!
is the question who do we want him to see fight next, or who WILL he fight next? Obviously i want to to fight Maidana, Bradley and Alexander in that order. But i doubt that will be the case. Probably take on Ortiz next (wouldnt be a bad fight IMO). Then im not s sure
:huh By facing a guy (Peterson) who's ranked way below Kotelnik and Malignaggi? Or a guy (Lundy) who isn't even in the top 25 light-welterweights of the world?
So Khan should get the opportunity to fight Maidana, Bradley and Alexander based on beating PAULIE MALIGNAGGI. Didn't Khan get KTFO by a relative UNKNOWN, Yet Lamont Peterson goes the full 12 rounds in the Top Dawgs (Bradley) hometown and he can't get a fight with Maidana, Alexander or Khan. You know what, I guess I just need to get over it and realize it's just the way **** works in the sport. I just can't find anyone to give me a STRAIGHT answer. This content is protected
If Khan steps up he's going downnnnn, Khan is just a"hype" job that I cant wait for him if he has the balls to fight "Alexander' and get the hell knocked out of him.
devon alexander is scared of black fighters he wont go near tim bradley (the superior black athlete).
soto v khan? wow that is hard to pick, soto is better than he gets credit for! he has a chin and a punch plus he is a great counter puncher
