    Garcia WBA/WBC/Ring

    Alvarado (interim)

    The thing is Khan's not out of his depth, He could beat most of those guys.
    The problem is that he could get caught and there are question marks over his chin.

    and Khan hasn't avoided any fighter so far, Went in with Maidana when everybody was saying that he was ducking him, Fought Lamont on dodgy medicine and actually won the fight.

    Khan can outbox Garcia, It's just about holding on when you get caught.

    You forgot Devon Alexander at 147 which I think Khan wins and then move onto Floyd which is a interesting fight.

    Khan should avoid Matthysse like the plague, The result wouldn't be pretty.

    Khan can outbox both Garcia and Matthyse, but the fact of the matter is.. he will get caught at one point or another & get stopped against either.
     
  5. Id fancy him over a lot of Guys at 147 and very few at 140 so in my eyes he needs to move right up to welterweight at target Alexander

    He's no longer fighting in the 140 pound division, unless he receives a shot from the winner of the little 'tourney'. His next fight will likely be Alexander.

    I'd give him a good chance against Alexander, it's a fight he can win.

    khan is done at world level imo and at the ripe young age of 26.
    he is pushing for the may fight sooner because him and gbp know if he is made to earn the shot like every one eles it would not happen, the top level is beyond him

    3 of those arent world title holders

    Marquez is WBO world champion, and he would spark Khan. Mind you so would Alvarado and Matthysse.

    I think Khan could beat Petersen, and if it comes to it I hope he does.

    All of these guys would stop Khan. Add Broner, Ajose, Brandon Rios, Guerrero, Kell Brook to this list. It is more difficult to find a champion or contender that won't stop Khan.

    Khan doesn't beat any of them IMO bar maybe Allakhverdiev who i've never seen before.

    I don't think it really matters who you put him in with, the odds are against anyone half decent he's gonna get sparked.

    I think Khan is one of those guys in that he can technically beat anyone in his weight but also can be equally able to be beaten.
