    I agree, Jeff, but let's say he's blitzed at 140, what does Warren do with him then? :think

    Up to 147 to pack some more muscles on that chin?;)

    Sky Sports are idiots, for saying potential opponents are Mayweather and Marquez. Berto was the surprising one, he is a welterweight, and he would kill Khan right now.

    Usually I wouldn't make a deal out of somebodys chin,but I agree with what one of the 'chincheckers' said-with a chin that horrible you really feel as though he is on borrowed time at the top level

    He should fight Dimitri Salita who would cover his mandatory and would also be an easy sell to the thick following Khan gets (Undefeated in 29, wow he must be good :patsch).
    FW should persuade Maidana to fight the winner of Urango/Bailey because lets face it Maidana would eat Khan and he could claim that is an easier route to the title.
    Like I said he can fight Salita if he wins in October and then he can face Prescott in a rematch sometime in Feb (provided he is still unbeaten). If he wins and looks good in those 2 fights he will have proven he is a worthy world class fighter and he could go for a fight agaisnt the best in the division basically the likes of Tim Bradley/Junior Witter/Ricky Hatton/Marcos Maidana etc.

    He must not fight Morales if he does he will have lost someone who was actually once a fan originally and I will not buy the PPV and will not watch the fight full stop.

    I'm surprised that Malignaggi isn't mentioned more often as a possible Khan opponent

    :lol: it wouldn't suprise me, Gaz, mate! Jokes and 'glass chin' revelations aside, if Khan's punch resistance has improved dramatically at 140 then his frame is big enough for 'up to' 154, IMO. He's a big lad, even for 140. Let's wait and see how he does in this fight before we all get carried away though!:patsch

    Wins: He should fight Maidana

    Loses: He should fight Murray or Thaxton



    Wins: He'll probably fight Morales (that's who Roach seems to be angling for)

    Loses: He'll probably fight Stephen Hawking

    Malignaggi's got a Juan Diaz fight coming up. The winner of that fight would make sense for Khan if he wins. Neither carry much pop as well.

    That fight is @ 137.5 though, Ish, mate. God only knows why as well! If Diaz wins, then would we get another catchweight fight? I wouldn't rule it out:-(. I'd love to see Khan against Malignaggi for 12 rounds although I'd be very suprised if it were to happen.

    Hey Ishy:D

    Do you not think of all the styles of fighter that are out there that Juan Diaz and his style is one of the worst for Khan?

    Unless Khan has dramatically improved his inside game that fight would be a one-way slaughter for Diaz...............IMO:hey

    :yep Diaz would **** Khan up on the inside, Khan wouldn't be able to handle the pressure.
