Rematch with Presscot is top of the list... Amir can also go after feather fisted Juan Diaz and hoped that Juan's pillow punches can't crack his glass jaw... I think Juan Diaz is also softened already by his recent loses to Campbell and JMM...

Amir should fight Prescott again but he wont. They cant risk getting sparked out by him again. Ideally Prescott will take a world title from somewhere and then it'll be a worthwhile risk. If he gets laid out again cest la vie, Prescott was a world champ and the hardest hitting fighter since Earnie Shavers.
Fuck all this "world" title bollocks.
Khan still hasn't proved he's the best in Britain. :rolleyes:
I don't see why he won't fight Murray, I think Khan would tear him apart.. Murrays style is made for Khan. If someone with limited ability (no offence to the guy) can outbox Murray for the first few rounds then Khan would have a field day... although at the same time if Murray does manage to catch him it's night night for Khan.
Although I think Warren thinks he is somewhat above domestic level now, or maybe he just recognises there's more money to be made at the world class level.. he's certainly not doing Khan any favors...
Khan and Murray wont fight because that would mean FW and MH working together :rolleyes:
I think Khan would beat Murray too. I'd like to see it to be sure though. A young unbeaten hungry guy will make for a better fight than another "nothing to lose/gain" ancient great.
I agree, Khan would take Murray and it won't happen. We won't see him against Prescott for a while, he's one guy who actualyy has a reach advantage over him at LW and will get to him again sometime over the 12.Quote:

Juan Diaz KO's Khan IMO, and JMM does it earlier, but a David Diaz is there to be outboxed.
I think he could beat David Diaz too. I think he could have beaten him a few fights ago.
I don't see where this world title is coming from all the time JMM, JDiaz, Guzman, Romanov are involved.
Maybe Khan could outbox Romanov. I certainly wouldn't bet on it though.
The cut ruined the fight but Barrera never got in a sniff to warrant doing it again. That wont happen anyway.
lol. I would love to see that 1 round fight.;DQuote:

I agree totally, I'm sure Khan could box to a decision, but Marco would have had his moments later on, he was bothered less than JMM was in the earlier rounds by JD. Barrera clearly isn't as quick as he used to be, but he didn't turn up to just roll over for a payday.Quote:

His first fight should be against big hitting Alex Arthur.
Then Prescott.
I've only read about the fight, but from what I gather, Khan should give Barrera a rematch. Once that takes place, his handlers should put him in with people who are going to test his chin, but don't have big punches. David Diazesque. What's the rush? He is 23, right? He should perfect his boxing before fighting the elite level.
the cut did ruin the fight no doubt about it but there was no way MAB could match Khan's speed and youth.
There was the chance of course for him to nail him as the fight went on longer - he did land 2-3 decent punches even when covered in blood.
The cut will always leave questions unfortunately
As said I would leave a Prescott rematch until he holds a version of the title (prescott has entered the Ring's top ten rankings by the way). He would have a chance of beating Katsidis or Diaz (David or Julio) I reckon by doing what he did Saturday for 12 rounds !
But as for JMM, Juan Diaz forget it for now.
Opponent will need to be decent for a June fight on Sky BO so maybe Alex Arthur as mentioned. Or what about Casamayor ? He is knocking on a bit and maybe there for the taking ??
Warren got the result he wanted and Khan is box office again. I know Warren is talking about world titles next but I'm guessing Khan will be wrapped up in cotton wool again for at least a couple of fights. I think Fenster is right about his next opponent.
This post made me laugh, calling a bunch of posters crazy for suggesting he would have a chance against Marquez, even though those posters don't exist.Quote:

Barrera wasn't getting beaten as bad as I drunkenly thought. I missed the lefthook at the end of the 2nd that shook Khan and had him grabbing on for dear life :o. Barrera done Khans legs in the 4th too (which i had originally seen).
I never realised how badly the cut HURT Barrera. His back peddling to the ropes allowed Khan to pressure him for a good minute and completely swing the round.
This is a silly thing to say but - without the cut and the premature forced ending we could be talking about a different result. Khan is only ever one punch away from kipping.
Katsidis i feel is the next best fight for him.
He is someone Khan can easily outbox and would also test his chin.

Exactly . Good to see not all the posters have jumped ship and grabbed onto the Khan bandwagon
Good to hear that. I'm stunned by these people who think that Khan "dominated" Barrera. Considering the circumstances it is no surprise that Khan was able to win the rounds and he did win the rounds. But even then Barrera showed he was there and wasnt being hit all that cleanly at all.Quote:

The cut ruined it, and for Khan to run his gobby little mouth saying he would have "brutally" knocked Barrera out shows a complete lack of class. He seems to be a prat, and I look forward to seeing him flat on his back again...which will be sooner rather than later judging by recent history.
I'm really annoyed having read that BBC interview with Khan you posted yesterday. Khan certainly doesnt know how to show respect or try to muster support from the doubters. Screw him! :rolleyes::mad:
Which is why the logical next fight now he's got his mojo back is another blown-up superfeather like Alex Arthur. But how well would it do on PPV? There must be some past-it former super-feather champion out there who can trade on his name to get a fight with Khan, anothe r Barrera-style opponent.Quote:

I'd have enjoyed it. ;D
I think eric morales vs khan could be a possible next fight. Morales is washed up, is a huge name like barrera, wants to make a comeback and still has enough left the tank as seen by the diaz fight. Should sell well aswell PPV.
khan has ducked most of the good domestic fighters, he needs to fight them before even thinking about a world title, maybe murray or alex arthur, even thaxton, hes been avoiding them for years,
But id also like to see a prescot khan rematch
I wouldn't want to see a rematch. I don't really feel like having to watch Barerra get beaten all the way to a decision. At the very least this cut made his career continue on. But if he rematches Khan then Khan will win again but with no excuses this time and that will be it for Barerra's career. I don't want to see Oscar vs Chavez II
Line the boy up to face Joan Guzman. ;D
I would put him in with Prescott,then we will see if he has learned from his mistakes he made last time.Plus Prescott is a young hungry fighter wanting to prove that first time it wasnt a fluke against Khan.
I am surprised that people want to see Khan fight Prescott again, when in boxing history has a fighter been given a rematch after being knocked out in less than 60 seconds previously? I say throw Khan in the deep end with Katsidis and see how he goes. Might as well learn the hard way and then tackle Prescott again in 12 months time.
Katsidis is exactly the kind of guy I think Warren will keep Khan away from. Khan would beat him easily on points if the fight lasted twelve rounds or KO him but Katsidis can punch his weight and is bound to land something big at some point. I just don't see Khan in the ring with a proper lightweight who can punch unless it's a huge money world title fight, so I reckon another one or two past-it superfeathers or feathers with a marketable name before they take a real risk with him. I love to see Khan-Katsidis though.Quote:

Seems as if Warren has other ideasQuote:

Katsidis keeps getting a mention as it makes a hell of a lot of sense for khan to both take the learning curve he`ll get from michael and establish himself furthermore within the division.
For once Warren has got it right in that he is keeping khan active with the promise of a world title shot at the end of the year. So a summer showdown at the MEN, london arena etc against someone like katsidis would be a good outing for khan and a great name to put on his CV.
He gets mucho credit for wanting that. Most prospects would like to sit on the Barerra win and milk it for long as possible before that, but he seems to want to jump in there again with the guy who KO'd him in 60 seconds. Credit to him.Quote:

At 135pounds khan would have a far superior reach advantage and be way stronger than valero
