I think that if he wants "worldwide" respect his next move should be the US against an Ali Funeka or rematch with Prescott..etc..
what do you guys think?
Can you tell me where Calzaghe, Lewis, and Hatton had to go to make the most money in their career?
there is more money to be made here in the U.S dumb****.
And Fame!..
The act like they don't wanna understand this...
u.s. is no longer the mecca of boxing dumbass no one cares about the u.s. boxing is growing and exploding all over the world no one needs to fight here anymore to prove anything

Why are the Euros acting scared?..
I mean it's obvious that to prove he's the best he has to leave home to do so..
Hardcore fans shouldn't be the only ones who matter..Nobody knows who Haye is outside of the UK and hardcore boxing fans...same thing with Calzaghe until he came and beat Hopkins and RJJ but we all know..they were basically 40 years old +...so he still left doubt in even the hardcore boxing fans..who aren't british of course..
Now Hatton came to make a name for himself at 147 and won a close (some might say controversial) decision against Collazo..and than got KTFO by Mayweather jr..some might argue that 147's just not his weightclass (I agree) but he still got more shine in the UK than he might've gotten here..
Look at Jennings..went 32-1 in the UK came over to the US and got demolished like if he was an amateur...why over protect these guys to get exposed later?..
I think Khan has great potential..and could be BIG in the sport..but not if his next 10 fights remain in Europe..he won't have that Worldwide recognition..
And let's be serious..USA will always be the mecca of Boxing..no matter how you try to put it.
Khan will come to the US because..this is where the big fights are put together and this is where the big fight money is...Las Vegas not Manchester. He's talented and commercial and he'll probably come sooner then later..IMO
More people attended Khan vs Barrera than Margarito vs Mosely. I think the UK can put on big fights.

I think he'll go to the US, yes, but not for "worldwide respect". It just happens to be where his trainer is and where all the obvious fights are.

He is still struggling for respect HERE in the UK! Fools need to be proud of this guy, it makes sense for him to have a few fights over there but id like him to stay here so I can go see him Live! lol
He dosnt NEED to fight over in the states yet
Nah. I think he should hide for a while.
There's more money for him in the UK anyways.
co-sign......ths what Warren usually does to his fighters anyway.......he'll put him up against a big name fighter when their too old to do the things that made their name big........look at how he managed Calzaghe's career!
If he wants worldwide respect, surely he should attempt to win a world title, just like Hatton, Haye and Calzaghe had to do to earn lots of respect from you knowledgeable American fans?
He is almost 23 for Heaven's sake.
Age isn't an issue here, some guys mature early and some later, doesn't mean that if he is 23 and hasn't won a world title he is not as talented as someone like juan diaz who won at 21.
There is no rush with him, he will get better and the lw division is so tough right now, he is not ready for some of those fighters people forget because he won an olympic silver medal, but this guy was not a decorated or experienced amateur he had very little senior amateur experience before he went pro he did well at the olympics because he has immense talent. I think he should fight a recognised top 10 lw by the end of the year, and maybe if a title becomes vacant he could go for it.
