    With the Khan-Bradley not happening anymore. How would you match up the next round of fights at 140?

    Amir Khan, Timothy Bradley, Marcos Maidana, Erik Morales, and Zab Judah are all available.


    My picks:
    Amir Khan vs. Zab Judah - July 23 HBO
    It would be a unification fight in the US. Zab has a decent fan base and has name recognition. I believe a fight in Madison Square Garden would do well, with Zab being from Brooklyn, and Khan having his second fight in NYC after Paulie Malginaggi.

    Erik Morales vs. Marco Antonio Barrera IV- July 30 HBO PPV
    With all the names being thrown around for Morales, this fight makes the most sense. They always put on a good fight against each other, and they are better off fighting each other than the young guys.

    Timothy Bradley vs. Marcos Maidana HBO
    If Bradley wants an HBO fight, it needs to be against a top 10 Jr. Welterweight with some name recognition. Maidana would fit the bill perfectly after being on several fun fights on HBO.

    Alexander vs. Matthysse - June 23 HBO
    Already happening. I think it's a good fight, besides the part about Alexander being guaranteed $1.2 million after losing to Bradley.

    Thoughts?
