    This is khan's first solid test and it appears he's a bit on a shaky side. But then again, the important thing is he survived it. but if greatness is what we're talking about, if people will embrace khan's character i do think he can be great. because the talent,explosiveness,heart and willingness are all there. Ricky Hatton is already gone so im thinking who's the next most talented fighter they have out there who's got the real chance to be great and bring honor to his country. i don't think there is anyone but khan as of now, but with khan's uncharismatic attitude it's hard for him to get what hatton had enjoyed for years. "the unconditional love of the fans"

    I wanna see him fight Paul McCloskey, euro champ. I think it would make for a good fight style wise, two speedy fighters that can box well. Neither are really heavy punchers I'd say Khan probably hits harder, McCloskey is slicker though.

    The Khan haters would have a field day if he fought McCloskey. He needs to fight bigger names than that.

    I think Judah is a decent fight, then get ready for Bradley and Marquez.

    Khan haters are gonna hate him no matter what, if you look at the division, MCCloskey is ranked pretty high in some organizations. Besides the fight would be big in U.K.. Unless Khan is just trying to ditch the U.K. boxing scene. I also wouldnt mind seeing Ortiz Vs. Khan, that could be entertaining.

    Yeah Khan is in American now on HBO. He's not going to be fighting any unknown Europeans. Judah, Ortiz, Katsidis, Marquez, Alexander and Bradley. Those will be the sort of opponents from now on.

    Mate are you serious? Khan would do McClosky within 4 rounds, the guy went to hell and back with Lauri and beat Barry Morrison in his last fight!! Morrison is just about in the top 8 at 140 in Britain.

    So he fights Maidana and all of a sudden he's above all these other fighters? Khan record isnt that great man I wouldnt jump to conclusions. Maidana fought Ortiz thats about it, for legit wins for him.

    Haha, but it's better than practically every other 24 year olds resume in the sport.

    Khan has a solid record at 140.

    Malinaggi
    Kotelnik
    Maidana

    Three out of his four fights at 140 he has fought three very good top ten fighter two of them for me are top five, McCloskey is over rated he has beat no one near top ten Khan would murder McCloskey imo.
