Gotta be Hatton .... it would be massive and would sell wembley or old trafford nah problems ... And for me Khan would do the same to him as Pacman did .... Khan too quick for Hatton !
Hopkins is a strange case. He was doing alright before leaving GBP over the Witter fight.... by actually doing their job and getting him a title fight with home advantage he upped and left, not to be seen again for ages. I'd steer clear of Urango, Khan hasn't beaten a decent southpaw yet, never mind one with a titanium chin and plenty of power. He"d have to come up with a new plan, Amir wouldn't be able to do it the Hatton way - either the first half boxing or second half hook, hold and dig in method.
Anyone think Zab Judah maybe next?? Personally I'd like a fight with Mallinagi, good exposure in the states with that one. Will Mallinagi take another fight so soon though?
if khans chin is marginally better then this guys then he has a good chance at beating maidana this Gonzalez guy had 3 KO losses coming into the fight against maidana, he was tko'd by kotelnik, he offered his chin countless times to maidana before going down in the 3rd, maidana looked crude in this fight, he's obviously powerful but there isnt much else in his boxing repertoire btw the commentator sounds like a massive ****** [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0-E8DN6wdk&feature=related[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtkZpE4b6Gs&feature=related[/ame]
I don't see Maidana, as he lost to Kotelnek etc. If Paulie defeats Diaz, they will plan the kahn v paulie in a heartbeat which will pave the showdown for Khan v Hatton. I agree with Naz, the Hatton v Khan is not so essential..I would rather watch Khan v Judah instead. Anyways, let one fight come at a time.
I can see this happening to. With Khan getting signed by Bob Arum and top rank. It will be the best thing for his carrear going to a major promotion company like TOP Rank or GBP because he will have better bargainign power than warren who will just want him to sell out the MEN arena and fight bums to line his pockets.
i bet he goes in against someone like Vivian Harris, but id love to see him against Diaz V Mallignaggi winner on undercard of Pac=Floyd
He should give Maidana his shot at the title. He'd get major credit from real boxing fans if he won that fight.
Deffo Paulie.. He's got the skills to test Khans techinically and he's got an ok chin so we can gage Khans power if he manages to hurt the magic man. Paulies comments post pac - cotto might add a bit of spice to it. Perfect fight for Khan at this stage, no danger of getting his wank chin exploited and if he manages to stop him that'll send out a big statement. Cotto couldnt do it and Hatton does not really count.
Alexander would be the best one I'd like to see right now, then Bradley or Urango (risky I know) but id he can fight on the Manny-Floyd undercard (I love writing that!) in March then I'd still love to see him face Hatton in the summer in a stadium!
