    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?

    Either Thaxton or Romanov would be my choice.

    I think Manny will continue to duck Khan :rasta

    anybody will fancy their chances against him coming of a loss and will be interesting to see if they put him in with any of those names

    domestic: Gethin or thaxton

    overseas: Bobby pacquiao or gainer

    how about none. consider retirement. there's too much risk of smashing that jaw into pieces.

    imagine if he gets KO'd by a light puncher :think i think they're looking for a light puncher who's not so obviously pillow fisted

    Why Jorge Barrios? Barrios looked good against Juarez, and it would be a huge statement if Khan could beat him, and if not, it would show exactly where Amir stands.

    An easy fight next then a rematch with Prescott is what I think they will go for.

    I don't think Khan should be fighting anyone unless he can improve his defense a LOT more.

    It's only logical to have an easy fight after a brutal one-sided loss like that, if he's not having an instant rematch then it's obviously an easy fight then hopefully a rematch. He needs to improve his defense as I always said or he won't even make it at the top level of competition, let alone get a major world title shot.
