Smart move on behalf of Khans team because Lopez/Khan has bad news written all over it for khan.

Khan dodged a bullet by having these negotiations fall apart. Lopez is too strong for Khan, he would've bullied Khan ala L Peterson except he's taller and has a better chin.

Be it Lopez, Soto or Maidana, all three fights would be a great matchup. I see Lopez giving Khan the most trouble. The Soto fight would be good from a technical standpoint but has a high probability of turning into a real snoozer. Virgil Hunter is unreal and just needs to keep Amir's ego in check.
As for Maidana-Lopez, doesn't anyone want to see Marcos take on somebody who's not just a brawler? He's made huge progress with Garcia and can now box as well as brawl, which was evident in the Soto-Karass fight...he has developed quite the jab when he wants to throw it. Looked like sh&* against Alexander but i think that was due to his moving up in weight as opposed to Devon's skills. I'd be more interested in Khan-Maidana II....a win for either fighter would make a huge statement in regards to their growth. Either way Khan needs to start fighting big punchers again, his vulnerable chin could be an asset in marketing those fights...I know the Brits love it, some hold their breath every time he takes a solid shot to the head.Last edited by WeltshmerzKO; 02-12-2013, 05:21 PM.

What's wrong with some people? The guy has only just switched trainers. Its going to be at least 3-4 fights before we see any real change in Khan's style/tactics. He needs to be matched carefully, taking a step up each time; not chasing a world title fight.

Khan needs to pick a weight, and stay there. No doubt, had he beaten Peterson, he would've moved up to WW, and there would've been no need for a failed rematch, or a Garcia fight.
Now that he has lost two fights in a row, he recently fought a midget, and has become twice as annoying as he once was.
If he really wants to fight these guys (Sedchenko, Lopez, etc), then he needs to fight them at WW and come in at a weight that HE's comfortable with.
Dude cant even beat B-level fighters in his division, so he tries to make guys suck down in weight for a paycheck? Nice work Amir...nice work.
