    Khan should go after the IBF strap in his next fight.

    would look alot better on his resume, and he will have a chance to unify every single belt at 140, 5 belts, that would be quite historical.

    Who cares about Alphabet titles when the Ring belt is all that matters.

      the IBF belt is vacant. And I think Zab Judah got through the elimination so he is #2 in the IBF rankings. Khan-Judah might be for the vacant IBF title and of course Amir's WBA title.

      Khan-Judah is a good fight. Judah talks a lot of trash so the fight can sell out Madison Square Garden in NY or some stadium in England.

        Rematch Salita seeing as they've both improved a lot and the winner takes on the winner of Bradley/Alexander.

          I don't think there's any point. Any recent attempts at unification at 140 have resulted in boxers being stripped of titles soon after.

          The IBF in particular seem to get their champions to fight mandatories fairly often. A good idea in theory, but the problem is that their rankings are often illogical and tend to stop more good fights than they create.

              It's supposed to be Mabuza/Judah for the vacant IBF strap.

              If Judah wins, I'm sure a unification between Zab and Amir could be made.

              Then the winner of the Judah/Khan vs. the winner for Bradley/Alexander for all the marbles.

                Mabuza is rated #1. Judah is #2. The IBF want to make Mabuza vs. Judah for the vacant IBF belt. Judah fought Matthyyse in an IBF title eliminator recently, Judah won a controversial points decision.

                I think Team Khan should pay Zab to step aside so that Khan can fight Mabuza for the vacant IBF strap. A win over Mabuza would look better on Khan's resume than a win over Judah IMO (and he's be unified champ).

                Mabuza is a better opponent for Khan than Judah is:


                - Judah is not prime,
                - Judah got a gift decision against Matthyyse,
                - Judah isn't rated a top-10 contender by The Ring.

                Where as:

                - Mabuza is undefeated in 9 fights and is in his prime.
                - Mabuza is coming off the back of an impressive win against Kendall Holt.
                - Mabuza is rated at #7 by The Ring, so is definitely a legit and game opponent for Khan

                Judah is still a decent opponent, and would be a decent scalp (former multi-weight world champ, former WW lineal champ), but I think Mabuza is definitely a better fight. Judah is still a good fight though. Either way Amir wins and unifies the WBA and IBF belts.
