    Mallignagi, Holt/Urango/Nate/ are my guess.

    Not sure if they would risk him in there with Valero or Maidana, both have that punch.

    I don't understand why Roach would say this, is he trying to say Amir Khan is not ready for Bradley? If so why his he claiming to be the champion of the world, there talking of Khan like he is an upcoming fighter who needs more experience, HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A WORLD CHAMP for f***s sake, a world champ would not say he is not ready to face a fellow title holder what is al that about this is part of the reason why boxing is going to the dogs and the reason being a world champion doesn't mean anything anymore

    Holt and Urango both have that punch too. As much if not more than Valero and Maidana

    While that's true, they present a clear stylistic advantage for Khan. Holt is too inactive during most rounds, struggles down the stretch and has massive lapses in his focus. Khan would probably cruise a decison win.

    Urango it's a bit similar although Urango has a shitload more tenacity, a lot more power and an unrelenting will. Still it's not unreasonable to suggest that Khan could Berto him for 12 rounds and take a win.

    They'll probably push for him to fight the ghost of Ricky Hatton.

    That's utter bull****. If you're chin's garbage and you fight a decent puncher then getting KTFO is a real possibility not a bloody 1% chance. Khan wasn't the fighter he is now with Roach training him either - far more hittable - he got dropped by Gomez and Limond ffs, were they also 1/100 punches?

    Amir Khan has said himself he's not ready for Timothy Bradley. Bradley's in his prime. Amir is still green. And why don't you go say that to the other "WORLD CHAMPS" huh?

    And to top it off, Bradley doesn't bring any money to the table.

    Khan impresses me if he beats either or a combination of...



    Bradley,Holt,Peterson,Alexander

    The Maidana,Malignaggi fights prove nothing imo.

    Kevin Mitchell said during a Q&A session on the British forum that Prescott isn't that big a puncher.

    It was probably one of those freak occurences, Khan was a bit tight at the weight, charged in like a loony and got sparked.
