I reckon Khan will stick around to fight a few faded former title holders, like himself, to pad his resume with more names. The likes of Broner, Ghost, Indongo, Sadam Ali (Think Saudi, two ****** fighters).
I would be surprised if he fought somebody in his prime, like Mo Hooker.
Even if it's late, I'd still want to see the Brook fight just because I love seeing two men who hate each other get in the ring and settle things! But Khan has ruined his image in many people's eyes with this duck - he took tough fights at 140 against Maidana, Judah, Peterson, Garcia so in his prime he was a warrior.. But now he's regressed as a fighter both physically and mentally.
Brook on the other hand is worse, at least Khan has a legacy in the sport (medallist at 17 and unified champion, best 140er for a couple years imo). Brook did not kick on after his fantastic win over Shawn Porter (better than any one of Khan's win). Brook does not have a single good win after that. His next best win is Senchenko, after he had been stopped by Paulie! He showed massive stones in moving up to fight GGG and then coming back down to defend against Errol when many would have forgiven him if he had vacated and campaigned at 154 after breaking his orbital. He could have just said it's unhealthy for me to make 147 and most would have accepted it and not said he was ducking Errol argument being you can't fight GGG and then think he's ducking Errol. His career unravelled after that. He had the choice to unify against Jessie Vargas for WBO title or fight GGG. He would have beaten Vargas and he may have been matched against Horn down the line, another winnable fight and I don't think Arum would have matched Pac against him so he would have been unified champion until the Spence Jr fight.Comment

Just take on these 2 names, Broner and Brook. Then you can go back to middle east and fight Indian boxers in there for the rest of your careerComment

I beg to differ. He only has “one gear”. If hes facing insignificant fighters hes wonderful BUT when he’s in a REAL FIGHT 95% of the time he buckles.Comment

Khan has done a VERY good job at basically conning his ****** fans and the casuals out of millions of $$$ for over 5 years now.
You can't blame him for making a fortune out of mis matches, its the idiots that pay for it.
At his very best Khan's biggest win was probably Maidana IMO the only really victory on his resume, unless you count guys like Paulie and a washed up Judah.
Khan is a useful idiot to the sport, nothing more.Comment

I want to see it cause have been waiting for it for years and also love how Khan fights tend to go. You never know when the money shot is coming Khan's chins way.Comment

Marcos Maidana certainly qualifies as significant, as do Devon Alexander, Paulie Malignaggi, and Zab Judah. I'm not saying Khan is a lock for the HOF but he has good wins.Comment
