    If Amir Khan wins next week, who do you think he will fight next?

    I'd like to see him fight Alexander late this year, but I don't see it happening. What do you all think?

    Very good question. With Khan's record so far being built up/padded with fighting smaller men,past it fighters and light hitters it is difficult to see a change in pattern. We would all like to see him fight the likes of Alexander, Maidana and Bradley but that is not going to happen. I think we will get lots of talk about fighting those guys but Roach, GBP and Team Khan will look for another soft hitting oponent to "increase his US exposure". That will be the excuse they will use. We won't see Khan in a real fight untill the last fight in his GBP contract when they will want to cash in but that only happens if he does not extend it.
    The illusion, the charade will continue. Khan has no real choice as it is obvious he will be obliterated if he fights anyone good and he has a gullible following that are quite happy to fund him fighting soft touches. In his position making lots of noise while avoiding fighting at the top level makes financial sense and I see nothing that makes me think he will step up to fight the higher level guys.

        Amirs resume now, is better then the resume of Bradley, Ortiz and Maidana went they were at this phase of their career.

            Amir will fight one of these guys no doubt:
            • Timothy Bradley
            • Devon Alexander
            • Marcos Maidana
            • Victor Ortiz
            • Juan Manuel Marquez/Juan Diaz
            • Ricky Hatton

              Khan has a title. Ortiz and Maidana have not achieved that. Khan is a champion now not a prospect. You can't have it both ways.

                I think Khan-Maidana is next. Khan is tired of hearing he ducked Maidana and I think that's why Maidana pulled out of the Bradley fight.
