    I've no doubt he's going to get in with the big boys soon but being as there's not long to prepare,I've a horrible feeling he's going to opt for Morales:nono

    It won't be Morales :lol:
    Khan would lose even my respect if he did and as most know, I'm a big fan.

    While I think the respect deserved for rematching and beating Prescott will have diminshed as he has since lost following the Khan KO, I think it is something that Khan needs to do. Regardless of the fact that it is a low reward (financially) and relatively high risk fight, it's the only fight that can repair the biggest flaw in his record. Wlad Klitschko still gets stick for losing to people he shouldn't have even though he has beaten better people since. The same criticism will always be directed towards Khan until he does something about it.

    It didn't harm Lennox Lewis' resume by avenging his two losses, in fact it is often brought up as one of the reasons he was a great champion.

    Prescott would be nice, set the record straight, it would sell well aswell as the casuals and some haters always go on about that loss.

    Prescott has lost two of his last three. His only win at light-welter was against someone who had lost his last 5 fights. If Khan fights Prescott it will be the lamest thing ever. Doesn't he need to be in the WBA's top 15 to fight Khan anyway?

    I cant see it being McCluskey he will have **** all time to rest and then prepare for the Khan fight if it is down for July. If it was August then I could see it happening late August. So it could be any bum to be honest it wont be a banger that aint going to happen for a while yet it would be comitting suicide for Khan and golden boy to do that.

    Would be funny if he faced Prescott, and Prescott knocked him out again.

    The reality is the only viable opponents are Katsidis which might be a push because of the available finance for the fight (which can't be to much surely) Prescott who is probably the most realistic opponent and John Murray which I would put as a dark outsider the chances of that fight happening have certainly improved now Khan isn't with Warren.

    Unless he picks a fringe contender that is but I can't think of any that would really bring anything other then possibly Ajose due to the fact he is undefeated and based in the UK but can't see that happening.
