    from what i hear its a pick from these.

    derrick gainer
    alex arthur
    david diaz
    bobby pacquiao
    antonio demarco
    vicente escobar
    jon thaxton
    gethin
    juri romanov

    they are looking at fights that will push khan up the rankings, which would be the best opponent?

    David Diaz would destory him. No way they put him in the ring with him

    Diaz > Romanov > Thaxton

    if khan beats any of these three he should gain the respect aswell as the ranking

    i agree, i think gethin who holds the English belt would be good domestic fight and bobby pacquaio as an overseas opponent would a really good return, very limited but has a name

    Definetly no one on that list. All are far too dangerous. Khan will want 7/8 soft non punching opponents to build his confidence back up and then we may start to see him fighting the Gethins and Gainers of the world.

    gethin would be a sensible fight but like buncey said in his recent show it would probrably be some 1 like john simpson, steve foster, ricky burns

    Khan vs Thaxton is a 50-50 affair IMO

    Out of that list I say Arthur, Diaz, Demarco and Romanov are way too dangerous. Especially when his confidence is fragile.

    gethin won't push him up the rankings and is probably the most beatable as long as khan keeps his head. no way will they put him in with romanov or diaz next.

    arthur could be a possibility if they want to take a risk whilst cashing in on a big domestic fight.

    I doubt it would be anyone on that list apart from Derrick Gainer, which would be a decent choice.

    They should just try to entice McAllister for the WBU belt, which Khan would hopefully dump directly after the fight.

    Anyone not actually that bothered? i'm not. They had their chance to woo me by matching him competitively and in fights that mean something, instead they wasted my time then tried to rip me off and got chinned. I'm more interested in who John Murray is fighting next and so should any other true boxing fans.

    Romanov - Thaxton - Arthur - Diaz would be a joke at this stage. They would all probably retire him.
