Who do you want Amir Khan to face next?

I think it will be Castillo. But I'd like to see him take on Tim Bradley. I see that as a winnable fight for Khan. Bradley seems to be regarded as the man to beat. If you can fight behind a good jab then you have a chance, as Kendall Holt showed in the first half of their fight.

Another possibility would be Joel Casamayor who has moved up to 140.

 

Juan Diaz if he beats Paulie (which I think he will).

He needs to learn how to deal with pressure fighters when you think of some of the guys in his division (Maidana, Bradley, Hatton and Urango are all in the top 10 fighters in the division) and Diaz is possibly the least dangerous for Khan IMO, whilst still being a 'name' and being a world class fighter, which the fans want to see Khan against.

 

Yeah not a bad call, be a step in the right direction

 

The physical attributes that Khan holds over Diaz might make this a mismatch...I think that Khan would have more difficulty against Paulie.

I honestly don't think that Bradley is out of the question, he is severely overrated by some on here (general forum especially). His championship run isn't all that...he barely beat a totally out of sorts and disinterested Witter, a B- level lightweight in Cherry, a decent win over Holt tends to flatter him and last time out a NC against an aged and inactive Campbell...his slate is hardly the thing of legend, and to me, holds nothing to fear.

 

Rubbish. He's world champion, so he should be facing the best in his division. It's time for him to erase all doubt and fight a capable banger in Maidana.

 

So you would rather he fought a chinny, unproven fighter in Maidana, rather than try to unify against a legitimate world titleist in Alexander?

 

I think Bradley would be a good honest fight (I'd like to see that one)- I just don't see them making it though. He's not a name, and is still very fresh. He's by no means a big hitter but he's not totally feather fisted and can take a punch - he can counter too. Though he's not the greatest ever, he is still pretty live.

I don't want to see Judah or Castillo...

I'm not convinced about Jaun Diaz at this weight and his pressure can be limited.

Though he can't throw one with any power, Pauli can take a punch, so I'd be OK with that match up rather than an unknown or totally washed up fighter.

Wishing that Khan gets in with big hitters, imo, isn't going to happen so I won't wish for it.

 

:good Exactly.

Bradley. I think very winnable for Kahn. But would show us fairly accurately what he's got! Hard to measure when he's fighting Salita types.

 

would like- Bradley, Maidana, Peterson, Alexander, Ortiz, Hatton
will get - Nate Campbell, Morales, Castillo, Barrera rematch, Kotelnik rematch,

 

Jose Luis Castillo, Zab Judah, Juan Urango or John Murray

 

Victor Ortiz !!

That would be a fight a lot of people would be excited about !!

It'd be a good clash of styles, with Khans style being the dominant one, and a good clash of personality's

And a lot of people would be convinced Ortiz would win..

HBO are interested as well

 

Maidana has **** poor technique to be honest, decent pucnh but all over the place, Khan would be wasy too sharp for him, just another unbalanced puncher these guys wont catch Khan now.
