    Someone like Katsidis or Prescott or maybe even someone like Murray would be a good opponent for July and then after that he should take on Maidana or Bradley late this year.
    i doubt he would fight in july...maybe in october or november this year im thinking..but he does intend on fighting the winner of bradley/maidana.

          I see this as a Red Herring riding the hype of the Katsidis Mitchell fight. Katsidis has made a name for himself in the UK and THOUGHT of the fight would have a lot of interest. Katsidis is BETTER than Maidana. So if Khan has avoided Maidana I have no faith that the Katsidis fight will be made.The interesting bit is they are thinking of fighting in the UK. Despite Khan setting his sights on the US I suspect that GBP found Khan a much harder sell in the States than was anticipated. Khan has a huge niche following in the UK that is his staple market and GBP need and want that money. Setting up fights in the UK is much more of a guaranteed thing and easier sell. I see Khan alternating between fighting in the UK and the States because America is going to be tougher to crack than they thought.

            That would be good katsidis wins by ko IMO he's a lot smarter than maidana

            Kats deserves a money fight vs Marquez though

              This is a dangerous stay busy fight whatever way you look at it. Maidana is injured at the moment and probably won't fight until late August, and Khan has just took a long resting period. I think he wants to fight more often, and is ready to do so.

              July 31 - Katsidis/Prescott

              October/November -Maidana/Bradley

              I would love see Khan fight Katsidis next. Such a great fight with a lot at stake. Khan could shut Mitchell and Warren up, while silencing the critics who hark on about his chin every minute. Hopefully it happens.

                Khan always wanted to alternate between the UK and the U.S. If he keeps on winning on both shores, the potential PPV market would be huge. Especially if he ended up fighting the likes of Mayweather.

                  I would *love* this fight to happen. But I think with the exodus of talent north to 140, Mike will concentrate on being a dominant figure at 135.

                    Hmmm this is a horrible match up for Khan. Kats likes to get in close and land bombs where Khan likes to stay at distance. I dont think this will happen, dangerous fight.
