Just saw this article and although nothing is confirmed they claim to have some inside info from their sources.
Does make sense as they both have had a long time since they last fought ;)

I don't know why but I feel a fight against Guererro is a step backwards for khan.
This websites and it's members hugely underestimate Khan considering how exciting he is.

A lot of people laughed at that Prescott fight and wrote him off but he took it on the chin went over to the States and made those same people eat their words and look silly then went on to win world titles and beat top end fighters along the way :)
I've never understood how people can slate Amir?
Everytime he's been knocked down he's straight up and wants to fight back and everytime he's been wobbled and rocked he always fires straight back.
He took Maidanas best punches and did exactly that.
I dont think he can afford another loss either.
Losing to Mayweather he'd have got away with but a lesser fighter beating him could be career ending ;)
I do not think Khan v Guerrero would be on an under card, it would be a main event like Khan v Broner would be. Floyd v Maidana is an under card fight in comparison.
I understand you being a fan of his , fair enough. But we are lead to believe that he was preparing to fight Mayweather and despite his inactivity he would be ready . Then you talk about 'losing to a lesser fighter being career ending' implying he should think about who he fights. My point is that Bradley and Pacquiao fight each other, Garcia and Matthyse fight each other, Lara ,Trout and Canelo either fight each other or openly admit they want to. Thurman would fight whoever is out in front of him. Surely it is these types of guys who should be fighting Mayweather because they are a click above the rest and have enough confidence in their ability , whether misguided or not, to not even think about "what if I lose" fights.Quote:

I think some of u guys are underestimating geurrero, if anything..
I get a feeling guerrero would get down and dirty just as he did to berto.. guerrero has a nasty inside game and he would rough khan up...
I thought it was Khan vs. Collazo?

Im not suggesting Khan will carefully pick an opponent at all, he went in with Garcia and Maidana so to suggest he wont face big punchers is silly!
He was all wrong for Floyd and Floyd knew it , Khans speed alone would have given him nightmares and thats 100% the reason he fucked him over and Chose a man Khans already beaten ;)
I think Khan could have beaten Floyd on points but thats my personal opinion.
I dont think Floyd would have got a knockout over him either.
Khans more than proved he's willing to fight anyone but look back at his fights and he really has been in some wars and taken a lot of punishment along the way.
He looked terrible last time out and it remains to be seen what lasting damage those beatings took out of him.
We'll find out soon enough and hand on heart maybe Khan knows it too deep down which is why he was hell bent on getting the Floyd fight as thetes no shame in losing that one and he could have had one last roll of the dice after or retired on a huge payday.
A little part of me thinks he could well be finished im sad to say ;)
I hope im very wrong but we'll know for sure in a few months and Amirs beeen in amazing shape for months now so there will be no excuses if he loses his next fight.
He would need to if he wants to win. I was really disappointed in his effort against Floyd. I think Khan will try and out box him from the outside. If Khan gets caught he is gone.Quote:
