    Im not sure how he wars? Would have liked to see how he reacts under pressure and pain how he tackles a war monger, someone like Mike Alvorado at 140.

    If hes moving up then maybe Ill get my wish faster from someone, even with someone fresh with pop like Canelo S Alverez could be fun.

    You could say either Maidana or Peterson. He beat Maidana on points reasonably easily but was close to getting knocked down a couple of times. In my opinion Peterson gave him the hardest fight. He pushed Khan all the way through and never got an easy round.

    As far as the Maidana and Peterson fights go Khan started off looking a class apart, far faster, far more skilful etc. but as soon as he got clocked he seemed to slow right down to his opponents' level. He spent the rest of the fights taking a lot of punches. His defence isn't going to get any better at 147 and he's going to get hit a lot harder. I see him staying at 140 as llong as he can and if and when he does move up he'll be very carefully managed.

    I think it will be much harder for Khan at welterweight. He has the speed to trouble most of the top fighters at the weight but do not think he has the skill and strength to hold them off to pull out a victory. Kell Brooks needs needs some further experience and exposure and maybe even win a title for Khan to think about fighting him. I think Brooks and Mike Jones can beat Khan.

    Khan would beat the other fighters going up in weight like Alexander, Maidana and Ortiz.

    I think Khan can be competitive at 147 if he is matched right

    If Khan learns to move his head, then yes, the guys at 147 can walk through his punches, but if Khan can dodge theres better no problem. At the moment Khan just stands upright with his hands up and gets nailed.

    If he's fighting the Ortiz that fought Berto I think he loses. Ortiz is the natureally bigger guy and would take what Khan gives him and land harder punches than Maidana or Peterson hit him with.

    I think Khan can beat both Ortiz & Berto if he fights a smart fight

    Ortiz will piss his pants and fall down like a girl.
