I just can't wait to hear everyones opinions of Amir Kahn now. Let get a list goin of people who would be good for Amir to fight.
Has to be a genuine lightweight for me.
First up, face your demons.

Breidis Prescott.

I'd second Prescott.. if he beats him and beats him well at least he'd give people a reason not to hate on him for that fight anymore.
I'd prefer him to beat a more recognized lightweight though.. Katsidis, David Diaz... maybe even Casamayor. This is exciting times for Khan right now but I still think he needs 2-3 more fights before going against the likes of JMM.
prescott
Baby Bull
JMM
Totally agree Joey, he definately needs a couple of fights before fighting JMM. He has to atleast fight prescott again, it would be criminal if he gets a world title shot before prescott.
I knew he would win tonight, although i lost my bet in choosing Kahn R7. I think he is as talented a lightweight as anybody around today, i just genuinely don't see him sticking it and taking the punches at world class level atall. You only have to take a very short trip down memory lane and replay Diaz JMM to be very worried about his chances. I really hope they don't fast rack him straight to a title shot. Even Romanov would be a good test.
LOL JMM after 2 more fightsare you crazy. JMM would sloater him. I think he should 2-3 more fights, continue working on his defence and perfect it. Then take a rematch with presscot and move slowly up. Rushing him will just end up in a brutal fasion. He has all the potential in the world but they need to perfect that defence!! it looked good today but was against a slow barrera, no reach and not powerful at the weight. Great result 4 khan
THE SKY IS THE LIMIT NOT THE LIMIT IS THE SKY
I certainly wouldn't put him in with Prescott for his next fight, let's get Roach working with him for a year or so at least first to totally iron out the defensive flaws so Khan can go in totally confident of victory.
For me I think the best fight next would be Michael Katsidis.
Khan isn't ready for Juan Manuel Marquez and he can't fight Manny as they are stablemates, (although again he clearly isn't ready) but a fight with Katsidis who is well known in the UK for his crushing win over Khan victim Graham Earl would be a natural next step and a great matchup.
Katsidis would be coming to win, would throw everything at Khan but has enough technical flaws that a properly excuted gameplan would see Khan get the victory.
I think that's a great next fight.
Apart from that I really want to see him take on some domestic rivals as well. Thaxton has probably missed his chance now but John Murray is an obvious challenger, these two really need to fight.
Well I think the new Amir Khan would beat Prescott now.. Prescott was a slugger, there's a video of him on youtube where he looks terrible as he can't land any clean shots.. but it would be an interesting fight never the less and one Khan needs to take to excercise any demons and get the critics off his back.
As for JMM after 2 more fights, why not? He's showed he can box, he's showed he has the speed, all he needs to do in his next 2-3 fights is show he can take a whack. If Khan waited another 6 fights to fight JMM he would be accused of being protected more.. so I say fight him while he's here, and JMM probably won't be here for much longer.
Next fights I say..
1. Murray
2. Prescott
3. Katsidis
4.??
I guess if he waits on too long for a shot at JMM you will then get the "JMM was old and shot" b******t.
Good points but remember his defence looked good againts and old slow tired looking barrera. Im just saying be a little coutious this time round. work at the defence for another 12 months and then move on to the heavy punchers.
1) Murray
2)Another domestic
£) Katsidis or presscot
4/5) Maybe Baby boy or some other top light weight but not JMM!!
THE SKY IS THE LIMIT NOT THE LIMIT IS THE SKY
Why not? why keep avoiding hes done enough of that already this is the guy who is gonna be talking so much tripe over the next few weeks let him prove what he is capable of he needs to walk the walk now sick of hearing the talk then just maybe i will believe![]()
I'm going to be unpopular with this, but a rematch with Barrera. If Barrera is to lose he should lose properly.
Prescott for sweet redemption.
