Sensible suggestions for Khan’s next opponent..

[mines a pasty]

i really dont see a fight with Malignaggichops being way off base.

[lest26]

no one on that list, infact warren was planning or so he says Nate Campbell, but no one on that list, you guys have a short memory, your looking in the wrong division, his next opponent must be a blown up SF weight or feather, this is my list i like to see have a pop at him, Murray, Thaxton, Romanov, The guy who beat Thaxton for the Euro title i dont remember his name, Mitchel, Juan Diaz, Katsidis, any one of them are possible but i think he will go or someone even lower down the ladder, maybe they will shock though and go for a big name but i doubt it

It might be a move up to the slightly less-dangerous 140 division. Malignaggi is an easier fight, softer puncher and other guys might be slower, with less power.

After Malignaggi, he needs to hope that the extra weight makes him physically stronger.

This is a good suggestion and I think it will happen sooner rather than later, I think if khan was to win a version of the lw title I can't see him defending it too many times, I think he will move up. He is too big to be a lw, I think lww will suit him better, and who knows may even help his punch resistance ie. cotto

For his next opponent it is...considering they are in different weight classes and malignaggi currently doesn't bring that much to the table. Waiting to see if paulie get a version of the light welter title back and moving up in a year or so would be much more wise

Paulie only wants $$$ fights from now on – which against Khan, in the UK, he’ll get. No question. Everyone knows Paulie since the Hatton fight so it makes business sense, as well and boxing sense (least for Khan)

you must be mad, he only taken on one real LW so far and he knocked him out, he can fight anyone his own size or bigger, wake up he has no chin. Mallignage aint a knockoutpuncher but he would kill khan

err Paulie has stated he'd go down to 135 is the money was there.

There's no real issue with this fight as far as im concerned.

tho i'd STILL prefer hi to fight Prescott again

I think Malignaggi is a possibility. Not in the next fight though.

[javelin_fangs]

Plenty out there.

1 Re-match with Prescott
2 Nate Campbell
3 David Diaz
4 Paul Malignaggichops
5 Zab Judah



Who else you thinking? Personally, i think he’s got to be a ‘draw’. MAB was exactly that, a huge draw, and we all watched it. Bums on seats is what it’s all about. IF Khan is going to make it in boxing then he has to step it up now because the eyes of the boxing world are on him.

No more easy fights, deep end match-up's from now on. Personally i dont think he can make it as an elite fighter, but if he wants recognised respect then he's got to have a pop at it (not that this'll satisfy many of you lot)!

Personally, Prescott, then maybe David Diaz this year, assuming he wins both, a title shot against whoever might be holding a version at 135 in Jan 2010

Keep in mind that Khan is British and promoted by British promoter Frank Warren and the potential likely opponents might still include Prescott, but is more likely to include names like Alex Arthur, Nicky Cook, Gavin Rees, etc.

Yeah I think it could be anyone from that domestic list...I also think they would put him in with Romanov just yet i can see Alex Arthur could definitely happen maybe for a wbu title, or something of that nature, even without a title it is a big fight, and I honestly think it could go either way
