The current consensus on Broner is that he doesn't deserve big fights just for being well known for all the wrong reasons and I suspect Khan is in a similar kind of position right now.
    But this guys keep making big money no matter what we think.

      Khan still has a name to trade on, and just like the up and coming Khan fought the 35 year-old Barrera to get Barreras name on his resume, there will be up and coming boxers who will want Khan on their resume now.

      Eg Josh Kelly. Khan probably thinks he's still too good for Kelly, but would be some rounds for Kelly and a name to move on to bigger things.

      I can see Broner happening too. Two show ponies together, and one where Broner can actually win for once.

      And of course a le greco or two with sub 10% ko ratios to re-establish some illusion of credibility - we might have a couple of years of Khan fights to go if he milks it right.

        Although I blame Khan the most, I kind of blame His trainer and the ref as well. They should have insisted he take the 5 minutes to see how he felt, instead of panicking and stopping the fight. For the paying fans and the PPV buys I feel like we have been cheated. If Khan had went out on his shield it would have been no disgrace, I get the feeling he is going to regret this move for the rest of his life. I could not give a **** who he fights next.

          This is actually how Khan thinks ......still have world title fights........enough is enough!

          Someone close to him needs to tell him what a prat he is.

            Khan has one of the most carefully crafted resumes in boxing, he had a credible run at 140 for a period of about 2 years, then in 2012 went to 147 to hitch his skirt up for a Maywrather or Pac payday, carefully avoiding any major threats at 147 lest he lose the Mayweather/Pac lottery ticket.

            Only question now is how low he needs to go in the rankings to be 50/50. But i would like to see Horn/Khan.

            Lots of people would pay for Broner/Khan too as its almost guaranteed value-for-money in that you get to see one of them lose.

              He's a punk and a liar. He should be calling for the Brook fight now. There is guaranteed big money there for him but he's too scared to lose.

                I would agree with you if only Khan did not have an ego. As it is, he thinks he’s too good to fight Kell Brook let alone up and comers.

                  Notice how he says title fights but not being a champ again.

                  Easy money, easy fight for Khan's opponent. Who will put money on Khan winning again ?!?!?

                    Probably cost themselves a few million each.

                    But if you’re Brook you still want it.

                    He stops Khan in about 4 rounds max.

                      Atleast Zab was a undisputed champion with talent and he just kept getting in his own way. Khan on the other hand seems like a fighter that was a gemic, he is a fast punching Pakistani/ ******. Which is good to see cuz its rare.

                      We all wanted Khan to be the next Naseem and he wasn't it.
