    ..., and assuming he wins, he's most probably going to stick around, what kinds of fights would you be looking forward to?

    Khan-Witter would definitely be an interesting one, because it would probably be the first time Khan's taking a well-known champion at his preferred weight. It would really be his first BIG fight, and the only one that could reasonably deserve a PPV unlike the previous ones (although as a domestic match-up it would ideally be free).

    I know there's a lot of talk about Hatton-Khan in the future but I really can't see it happening at the moment. Hatton seems to have the exact game that cancels Khan out completely.

    I reckon Khan could take Malignaggi though. A good fight in the US against a credible opponent.

    I think there is a 10% chance of Hatton Khan ......

    fwank will be finding a who's who of slick non punchers for as many defenses as possible,witter, whilst not stellar imo, can bang a bit, wont get within a mile a ring with Khan. still at least thats someone he can genuinley claim to be ducking him:good

    That's s a good call I think, just the sort of defence that Warren would line up.

    As an alternative there's always Souleymane Beye if he's still alive and under contract.

    I'd say they have probably looked at Tim Bradley and realised that they have a very beatable unified Champion at the weight. Bradley is no great shakes. If Khan stays out of his way he could unify.....Scary but true.

    I wouldn't go that far but he's no De La Hoya is he? He reminds me a bit of Glenn Johnson but the knockdown against Holt was a bit of a worry. He times his punches well but I think Khan would cause him a great deal of difficulty. Personally I think it makes massive sense. Hatton-Khan for all the titles next year?? I would be absolutely massive. Bigger then Benn-Eubank and I don't think Hatton would pass it by if Khan had established himself as a fair champion.

    No fighter at 140 can beat Khan. Sad news for the haters but it is true. The likes of Bradley, Witter, Torres, Malinfaggi and Cambell would be cannon fodder to Amir right now and only Pac who is well off radar would beat him. Hatton or Guzman vs Khan should be made late next year but by that time I doubt they will want a piece of him.

    We will see if it is still funny when Khan is a multi division champion beating every opponent put in front of him.
