We all know Khan isn't going to fight Brook, Thurman, Bradley or Porter next. Mayweather and Pacquiao aren't going to happen. Khan's never been someone to give rematches so Peterson and Garcia are out. Who does this leave that has a trace of credibility?
Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero
Ghost will appeal to Khan for 3 simple reasons.
1. Not a big puncher.
2. Former Mayweather opponent.
3. Beat Berto
So here we have it. The Ghost will be his next opponent. In Khan's delusional head he has a chance to one up Mayweather by beating Guerrero more thoroughly, if that's even possible, and can also claim that his current opponent is better than Mayweather's on the ground of Guerrero beating Berto.
Not a bad resume at all IMO. Not the best, but how many guys in the division have better in there last 4 fights?
If he added a big win over Guerrero, to a dominating performance over Alexander and Collazo, and a clear win over Algeiri, that's pretty damn good IMO.
No Brook and Gavin doe
He hasn't looked good since making Berto look like a chinese guy. That was in 2012.
It's a Algieri level opponent right now. He shouldn't receive any "credit" because he would be fighting a guy other guys have already beaten on. A year with Algieri and Guerrero for a self proclaimed superstar is undeniably weak. And that was on the back of a year with Collazo and Alexander.
Very weak.

How the hell is it Algieri level? Algieri lost to MANNY PACQUIAO, not life and death with kamegai or Aaron Martinez. Just because Khan fought him don't discredit Algieri. You've seen Algieri have one bad performance and you think you know him well enough rate him as a boxer. I don't think so.
P.S. Brook may have to fight Devon as a mando so that will be a "weak" fight. Thurman's last three fights have been pretty "weak" too. Frankie Gavin and Jo Jo Dan is a hell of a run for any fighter let alone a champion. :haha:
I have a feeling if after Mayweather shuns him, Khans going to step and fight a name fans all want. I don't think Guerrero fits the bill I'm thinking along the lines of Thurman, Porter , Garcia
I don't. I truly believe Khan has talked himself into thinking Mayweather avoided him this time because Khan is too good to be #49 and deserves to be his 50th opponent. I also think Khan believes that Guerrero would be a great win.
If Khan would have beat the brakes off algieri I think he would have got the Floyd fight. And if Thurman blew collazo out he would have got the fight.
A ghost Khan fight will be an ugly fight. The ghost brawling and Khan holding.I think the ghost could when if he stays in Khan 's chest cause Khan needs space to throw is trademark 3 punch combos. I'm not sure Khan can bang on the inside so his only weapon would be to clinch the ghost. Thus making it an ugly fight.
Thats a bad sign.
Khan needs to be fighting Brook, Thurman or Porter. That's it. And of course Mayweather.
Guerrero needs to be fighting Broner or Algieri.

don't trust that instinct.
People were saying Khan was going to potentially get knocked out by Guerrero before when they were trying to make the fight in December. Guerrero nearly got KO'd by a guy with 4 KO's. Khan would beat him unbelievably easily and get no credit because post fight "Guerrero will be washed up".

4. Not a top 10 WW contender.
The coast is clear.
Guerrero is garbage. He's not even a top 10 WW any more. It should be Guerrero vs Broner/Algieri and Khan vs Thurman/Brook. It's an easy fight for Khan.
Legit lol'd at this thread. Say it ain't so Khan. You been talking a big game about Thurman, Pac and Brook now back that ish up.
But even if he were to end up making this fight, it could be worse I guess... meh.
I think he takes Shane Mosley up on his offer if he beats Mayorga :lol1: but Shane probably still has too much power for him so yeah Guerrero is very possible

I've been a fan of Guerrero ever since he was at fw and while I enjoy his brawler style I feel it's all starting to catch up with him. He's been sliding a lot and while I feel Guerrero be Khan would be an enjoyable fight it's not the kind of fight that put Khan at the top of the division or really answers any questions about him at 147.
Ya but if beating Lopez can get you Floyd, than beating Guerrero should too.
Not really. Guerrero lost to Thurman pretty handily and then looked like sh1t in his last fight. He didn't even look good against that Japanese kid.
I agree
Guerrero has always been average at best at welterweight
It would be a disappointing choice of opponent in my opinion
But Khan in all likelihood whitewashes Guerrero
So I presume you'll give Khan props if he takes this fight? :lol1:
