    Who is the best opponent for Khan in 2015?

    Amir 'King' Khan has been waiting out either Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao for a mega fight in 2015.

    As his 'deadline' to Mayweather has no expired and Pacquaio non-committal who is the best AVAILABLE opponent for Khan to retain credibility at 147?

    It looks like Khan is ducking Brook so;

    Marquez

    Bradley

    Rios

    Chaves

    Porter

    Other (TBA)

    For me, the only way Khan is able to maintain any credibility is a fight with Bradley.

    I think Khan beats a non-Hulk JMM and has a great 50-50 against Bradley. That second fight needs to happen!

    If those were his two bouts in 2015, that would be a great year for him, possibly a FOTY.

        I agree - I think Khan will outwork JMM.

        But does beating a 40yr old JMM do anything more for Khan's credibility than beating Alexander did?

          winner of chavez vs bradley will be a legit way for him to go, that will be my first pick for him. Either that or Rios everyone else I dont really see as a legit worthy fight for him, he needs fights that will do something for his career.

              I just don't think Khan wants any part of Brook this year...

                That could possibly put him in P4P list.

                    I think he's made that clear.

                    Out of the ones you mentioned, the best win would be Shawn Porter.

                    I'd like to see that fight.
