    I think Katsidis is the next best fight for him.

    Katsidis is a limited brawler who Khan should easily outbox but a guy who would test Khan's chin also.

        i forgot about arthur, that would be a khan win i think, khan and the ref would be too much for Arthur, Wat about the guy that beat nicky cook the puerto rican

          I would like to see him fight Alex Arthur,its a good fight for him at this stage,if not,maybe Diaz or Katsidis and following that maybe an eliminator against Funeka.If he could get through Arthur then Diaz or Katsidis and then Funeka,then he would have silenced the doubters and will deserve a title shot.Forget any questions about his chin,the question is really about whether he has earned the right to a title shot and at this stage he hasnt IMO.

            its a fight id love to see, but he is a dangerous animal, id pay to watch katsidis fight more than almost anyone in boxing at th moment

              Why cos malignaggi is such a big puncher...so graham earl isn't a lw. He put katsidis down. I think khan would handle malignaggi easily in about 6 months to a year. If someone told you that manny pac would become a 5 weight word champ, after being knocked out at flyweight wouldn't you think they were mad?

              I think the weight thing absolutely kills khan, as a fighter I know how jaded you can become and im not even saying he will win a world title, but there is a good chance that making lw adversely effects him, especially his resitance to punches and he may be more comfortable when he moves up.

                Yup that could be a cracker, depending on what Katsidis has left. He could starch Khan real quick.

                  i agree with that, if he gets through them without the controvesty of these seemingly paid off refs id be silenced, i doubt he will go through all them without geting knocked out, id pick him to bead david diaz and arthur but the rest i doubt, supposing he dose get through that he has much harder fights to come not to mention the surge of other up and coming boxer in that division who are much tougher than china chin

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
                    Even a guy like edner cherry would have Khan putting Zab's chicken dance to shame. It's a nice idea but Warren would still have to be astonishingly careful.

                      thats true Earl was a lw but a very very shot lw, i think when he got in the ring he was still having visions of katsidis beating the **** out of him,
                      so thats only 2 genuine lw, Katsidis can be knocked out but he can actualy knock out a man, he almost killed amonsot
