    Garcia rematch? Maidana rematch? How bout some Peterson?? would that be a step back (i dont think so)

    Khan has many options and i would call him the biggest begger in all of sports but Briggs surprassed him! Khan is in his prime and needs to fight 3 times this year.

    The summer fight is Brook unless brook loses. thats a mega fight for all of England and will be WW title out there. Khan wont have a chance to fight May or Pac because they will rematch each other so Khan needs to map out his 3 fights this year and dont inclucde May or pac.

    if Khans does it right Khan vs May-Pac for Undisputed WW champ next May 2016 will be a massive fight but he needs to get down and gets some wins.

    Who you think he should fight?? I would throw Broner in there but I think he stays at 140 :bbb:bbb

    Khan is getting close to 30, and his style relies heavily on speed. He has 2-3 more years at most.

    Khan v Bradley will be a good match up. I doubt he will do rematches with Garcia,Maidana etc.

    kell brook makes the most sense....a world title. A HUGE fight in the UK...then after that Khan will be in a better position for better fights as he will have some clout by having a major belt. Next best after the brook fight is Bradley.

    heard he's in training now, and he may be looking at a march stay busy fight, then fight brook in June.

    that's assuming he doesn't get the mayweather fight of course

    I think Khan need a Garcia rematch. If he cant get that fight a Bradley vs Khan could be great but doubt it will happen

    Brook would definitely be at the top of my list as a fan. A Garcia rematch might also be sensible, since a win would redeem his reputation somewhat in the eyes of the US ppv audience. Maidana rematch is also acceptable for the same reasons.

    Brook is the fight he needs. If he gets past that then the sky is the limit. All his fights after that will pretty much be big money fights. Especially in the UK.

    Peterson and Maidana rematches seem very unappealing at this point since Khan's gunning for the big fish and they have practically nothing to offer. Plus Marcos will risk suffering a 3 loss streak.
    I want to see Bradley, Brook or a Garcia rematch if he finally moves up to 147and is willing to face him this time around.
