Personally,i think Amir Khan should fight Kell Brook in Sheffield ,it would be the next best thing than a showdown with Mayweather for him financially ,if Khan wins ,it will solidify his chances of fighting Mayweather.
I hear people say ramadan is in September ,implying Khan can't fight that month but i looked that up on line and it indicated that ramadan was supposed to be from June 27 to July 28th ,if that's true ,i think it would be wise for Khan to just take a tune-up fight here in a couple of months and wait to fight Mayweather in September rather than taking risky fight he could lose and be voted out of the Mayweather sweepstakes ,boxing is a business.
Well he said he wants to stay at 147 so I think he should fight a fighter where he can make a statement for example he could fight Broner but i have doubts this would happen because Broner wants to move to 140 now that he can't get the rematch with Maidana plus GB may not be willing to risk a young star getting back to back losses against stylistic nightmare Khan.
I think the best choice would be Robert Guerrero. Both fighters have been inactive and Robert is trying to to break his contract but maybe he would be willing to fight Khan, there is animosity between them two about comments on Roach and he recently fought Floyd. No title on the line but a good win over Guerrero should keep him in the mix.
I would have said Porter or Brook but for me it just doesn't make sanctioning or financial sense just yet. Porter is allowed to have a voluntary defence in April but then has to fight Brook in June. If Khan fought Porter in April and beat him then he'd have to defend against Brook in June..... for sure i would love to see this fight down the line maybe in 2015 but i feel it needs more time to build up with Brook being a titlist first. April to June is too soon for a fight of that magnitude anyway. I doubt Porter is champ for much longer, Brook should cook him in the summer.
It's difficult to say. Is Khan going to take what he can get now, or take a soft fight and try to stay in the Floyd running?
Kell Brook is going to fight Shawn Porter sometime this year, so that fight kind of gets thrown out the window.
I'd love to see Khan fight AB on the Mayweather-Chino undercard, but that fight may be too expensive.
Golden Boy is very healthy at 140-147lb, so I'm sure they can find a viable opponent for Khan at some point soon. My favorite thing would be for him to fight Broner, but like I said that's probably unlikely.
It depends on his long term goals. If he is still hopeful of a fight against Mayweather at some point then he better not fight anyone who is gonna test that chin in the meantime because a loss in his next fight and it's goodnight payday. If that is his goal then next up he should be looking for Alexander or Broner.
If he is not thinking about Mayweather anymore then I would like to see him fight Lucas Matthysse and then the winner of that fight the winner of Porter vs Brook as they both need to be bouncing back, none of them should be getting a world title shot in their next fight
I don't see why he should fight on the undercard after what happened. He might not be on the same status of Canelo who refuse to fight on the undercard but Amir have his own followings in UK as well as the Middle East (Dubai). I would say he should fight in Europe and wait until Floyd decided to fight him. A strong showing will make him a viable opponent either it is in Europe or US. Floyd Jr. is only up to how he was being treated. Ignore him and he will start respecting. Too bad that a lot of these people seems to choose to be a pawn or a jester in Floyd's empire.
What is the guarantee that if he fight on the under card he will be next in line. Floyd even said "Manny you're next" but still refuses to fight him up to now.
Amir Khan vs Manny Pacquiao.
Former sparring partners who know each other inside out. Know how to beat each other, know each others weaknesses. Both have blistering hand speed. Mannys not had a KO in some time but Amir has a questionable chin. Would be a fantastic fight with two attacking fighters.
And for PPV buys it would be a hell of a lot more than Mayweather will do.
He should fight Guerrero, Ortiz, Porter or Broner on the undercard.
I was thinking more like bringing a steel chair to the ring after the Maidana fight. You know, WWE style.
Broner, or rematch Garcia.
Khan-Broner?
@stick can you answer this? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?...
Should he try and fight Porter or Broner on the Mayweather/Maidana undercard, or should he headline his own show in the UK against Kell Brook?
He'd make a shed load of money by fighting Brook in the UK, but a win on the Mayweather undercard might be better if he wants to land Mayweather next.
