    Once Pac-Floyd is finalized we'll find out if Freddie thinks he can handle both fighters on the same card. If he thinks he can do it then Amir will be on that undercard. If not, then I suspect we'll see him continue in Britain or fight on an HBO card. It sounds like the WBA is serious about making him fight Maidana, in which case it will be up to Freddie to decide if Amir can beat him. If they choose to duck him he will likely face someone else with a title because he will probably be stripped. Right now that is Bradley, Urango, and Alexander all of whom would be an easier fight than Maidana. We know how dangerous Maidana can be, and we know that Amir's chin is not made of granite. I would love to see them fight but I'm not sure that would be a wise career move for Mr. Khan.
    Career wise, Khan should fight Maidana to show he is not ducking anyone. But for Career and Money wise, Khan should fight Bradley, after all, they both pose the same threats to Khan, except that Bradley can offer a unification titles and more money on the table than chosing Maidana. But if Khan want to water his career to grow up with care, he should fight Malignaggi or JMM before fighting riskier opponents.

      TBA or TBC would probably be the best Frank warren can do if not a cabbie driver from the cayman island.

        I think Khan and Roach will decide who to go for next.

        Hopefully its Bradley or Alexander if he wants to make an impact in America.

        If he fights in the UK again then I think it will be Malignaggi

          I don't know if he is ready for Alexander or Bradley.

          Better off fighting the likes of Malignaggi/Maidana maybe even Campbell (even though he sucks) to get more experience.

            i agree with this
            he should fight maidana then malignaggi and then leave frank warren too get some huge fights (assuming all goes well)

              I think Khan can fight in this order:

              Campbell
              Maidana
              Malignaggi
              then
              Bradley

              Or
              Malignaggi
              Maidana
              then
              Bradley

                **doesn't Maidana still hold the WBA Interim title? and if so, wouldn't that give him any sort of leverage?

                  I very much doubt khan will fight on the Pacquiao/mayweather undercard. After all boxing is business and there will be far to much money to be made if khan tops the bill in the UK. But, pac/PBF is probs gona be one of the biggest fights of all-time, so who knows.

                  Also, I don't think khan is ready to be in there with a ****er like Maidana or someone like Bradley. Khan has come along way since his defeat to Prescott but I still think he needs more experience. I think people forget just how young he is, he's only just turned 23.

                  I say Juan Diaz, JMM, Paulie Malig or Nate Campbell! And not ****ing Erik Morales

                      I thought the WBA said after Salita the mandatory fighter would be Maidana, i think he will have to vacate if he is to fight someone else and keep that belt.
