    I'm sure this isn't the first poll to ask this exact question, but:

    Who should Khan fight next (in April)?

    McCloskey (22-0, KO 12)

    Murray (30-0, KO 18)

    Peterson (28-1-1, KO 14)

    Prescott (23-2, KO 19)

    In my opinion, it is without question Prescott. I'd be interested to hear arguments for the contrary. It's pretty obvious which of these options are the most dangerous... And that's why it'll be Murray.

    Lamont Peterson.

    It'll help his development for when he needs to face Bradley straight after.

    It's a no-brainer, but the Khanducky FC fanchise will tell you different, of course.

    But but but...this, but but but that.....oh, STFU.

    Here's a time and an opprtunity to avenge an humiliation, and then move on...why not take the Prescott fight. I mean, it should be a walk in the park given his new found skills and chin.

    Absolute no-brainer.

    Jeez, sparked out in 55 seconds? WTF?!!

    I can't believe anyone would consider anything else besides Prescott for this answer. Peterson, Mccloskey and Murray would all get beaten easily by Khan and he would gain nothing from it. VS Prescott he'll probably beat him easily as well but he'll make the most money, have the most fan interest and enhance his legacy the most by beating the only guy who beat him. It's a no brainer which is why I think he's afraid of Prescott since Prescott will fight him for peanuts and provide the biggest draw and biggest jump to Khan's legacy yet Khan still doesn't even mention him as a possibility.... even thoguh I think khan would easily beat Prescott I think Khan's afraid of his daddy.

    b-b-b-b-but a Prescott fight isn't going anywhere. It'll be there now, and it'll be there should Khan be able to conquer 140. It'll even be there if Khan fails.

    And guess what, the boy in your avatar was sparked out embarrassingly too. Not once, but twice. He didn't bother avenging them humiliations, did he?

    That could very well happen after. But I wouldn't mind seeing that now! Any chance to go and see JMM live before he hangs them up for good.

    :good I remember having Maidana winning, and thought a rematch was to come after. I think Khan's camp are happy they got out alive and don't want to look back.

    Reasons to fight Peterson -
    *He is far better than any of the other boxers in that list.
    *He is the best ranked fighter in the division from whom khan can make a fight with.
    *He has fought much better competition e.g. bradley, oritz
    *He will be a great test for khan before he wants to fight bradley
    *Khan will get more credit than schooling him, than getting an easy victory against any of the others.

    Reasons NOT to fight Prescott
    *Prescott has done nothing since the Khan win and has gone downhill, he doesnt deserve this fight and only claim to fame is knocking khan out.
    *No point avenging his loss, because in a few years time Khan will be regarded as one if not the best in the world and prescott would be anonymous, therefore making any rematch with him now pointless aswell.
    *So many top fighters have gone with their careers not avenging their losses- Pacquiao, Hopkins, Martinez...does anyone criticise them? NO, and neither will they against khan
    *Also Khan stated that he has washed his hands with prescott and wants nothing to do with him...So that is that!

    If not Peterson...Mccloskey makes sense
