    I'd avoid anyone with a greater than 30% KO ratio

    I think he could beat Alexander and Malignaggi at 147.

    At 140, its not looking good. All the top contenders would be licking their lips waiting to land a giant counter on him.

    Maybe he should go back down to 135 and fight Ricky Burns!

    I don't think Khan is that complicated really. It's amazing that Goldenboy are trying to steer him into a match against Mayweather.

    Khan doesn't want any of Peterson.

    he will fight and lose to Alexander then maybe fight Kell Brook in the UK.

    Could beat Malignaggi (again)
    Bradley, Alexander and Mayweather would all beat him.

    Says he's struggling to make 140 so can't see him considering 135.

    He could beat most on his day, provided he isn't on the downside (which a lot of people think). I thought he beat Peterson but is 50/50 in a return. I'd fancy him big against Alexander and Malignaggi too. Who knows what Bradley has left now, I've always felt he'd give Timmy problems (remember Bradley isn't really a puncher). He's also quicker than Broner and would cause him problems too. Khan has also beaten a similar fighter to Matthysse in Maidana but should obviously be kept away from him.

    In short, he should go to 147 now. There are arguably more winnable fights there and come with bigger rewards - 2 weight champion, potential Floyd fight (which is what they're all aiming for in truth)

    Alexander at 147 is definatley the best fight for Khan right now.

    Alot could hinge on the Mayweather v Canelo will they, won't they scenario. If Canelo fights Cotto instead of Floyd, there is a good chance Alexander will get the Mayweather fight in September.

    Where will that leave Khan?
