    Maidana vs. Khan at 147 in March/April would be BIG. Plus, having Kirkland-Trout as the co-feature. What a night of boxing that would be. Trout would be stepping up big time in class, and Kirkland could take another step toward a huge fight if he beats trout.

    It'd be strange to see Maidana and Khan both taking their first fights at 147 against each other.

    If this happens, I'd still like to see Khan fight the Berto-Ortiz II winner.

        I definitely want to see a rematch between the two, and I figured it would be at 147 - which should give Khan a speed advantage but re-introduce him to how it's going to feel getting hit hard at 147....pretty sure Maidana will bring his power with him.

        And yea, I would like to see him fight the winner of Ortiz/Berto 2 as well....let's get the young guys to mix it up at 147 this is great...all sound like action fights. maidana a cool addition too.

        Trout/Kirkland....interesting fight - i want to say trout doesnt have enough power to keep james off of him, but trout is good at turning guys and being in good position to not be swarmed. the head movement kirkland had in his last fight was pretty good, even tho he got decked in the 1st rd. ill wait to predict this one lol

                Really good card if it happens, but it could be a little better. I'd rather see Kirkland fight for a real title against Canelo, or being realistic, K-9. And Khan vs Maidana at any weight is great, but if Khan wants to be the next P4P #1 guys he's aiming for, I'd rather see him fight the Ortiz vs Berto II winner.

                  147 will be stacked again pretty soon.

                  Mayweather, Pacquiao, Ortiz, Berto, Khan, Maidana, Bradley, Alexander.

                  Malignaggi, Jones, Zaveck.

                    That is a good card right there. Sadly, I don't see the rematch happening. Khan vs. any other top Light Welterweight, possibly an undefeated one, would be great regardless.
