Khan's next opponent: Marco Antonio Barrera!

[Poncey]

It ain't Morales as he's currently over 180 pounds and Barrera has another fight coming up at the end of this month

Have you seen recent pictures of morales? Looks like a different man, he wont be stepping back through the ropes any time soon
Can anyone think of anyone else on the list that will not be fighting for sure?
I have a feeling that whoever it is it may be a bit of a dissapointment.

[Poncey]

Met him in July. Didn't recognise him until someone pointed him out.

[sweetscience]

unless he is put in with a world top 3 lightweight/lightwelter 95% of posts following the announcement will be negative

I say Joel Casamayor...I have faith in Frank delivering that one

About as likley as me getting it on with Lucy Pinder.

I'd love to see it, though.

(plus I'd be keen to see Khan V Casamayor.)

Thats not going to happen and Id find it hard to think that people on here would be that stupid. He is only one fight after a devastating KO. He should take a step up but he is going to be the favorite in his next fight.
I dont really like khan but some of the tripe that people say about him is stupid.

I don't think he should get chucked in at the deep end, Khan isn't quite a man yet, he still needs more nurturing and developing.
He needs competitive fights but he doesn't need punchers, he still needs more reasonable wins before he steps up.
Thaxton and Murray would both be good fights for him in the second half of the year

Manuel Medina was the name that first sprang to my mind, but Chavez, Kelley and Gainer could be in the mix. Don't let the modern day legend thing fool you either. This lot could sell snow to the eskimos, or more too it, PPV to the credit crunched

I would be chuffed if it was Chavez..... he is still quite live I think.

Tapia was the first name that sprung to my mind.

Its optomisitc to think that it will be anyone other than a very faded fighter who is naturally a super feather. PLEASE prove me wrong sports network....

So Khan , Cook, Mitchell and Enzo are on the same bill where will this be and will be box office? What the prediction that the final bill is different.

[Exoddus]

If he's under 35 and not totally shot. I'd be very surprised. Even the guy who makes Franks coffee. Found it funny people were mentioning Casamayor, Barrera etc.

Khan wont even fight Thaxton or Murray.

[El Raincoat]

I think the public have a right to be disappointed if they say it will be a legend & multiple world champion then put him in with someone who clearly isn't a legend or ever close to being.

I personally think it'll be a let down. The prediction of a guy who's over 35 seems about right.

Depends on what people class as a legend, some people are easily fooled. IMO there's only a handful of fighters throughout history who truly are legends.

Most overused word in sports is legend.

Id love to have that name

[Gray-Fox]

It's interesting how many of the names put forward are old Naseem Hamed foes.

That's more because everyone knows it'll be a featherweight.

Would you be happy with him fighting Henry Armstrong then? How high are you going to set the bar for legend to be acceptable?

[Gray-Fox]

None of the names mentioned hitherto aside from Barrera an Morales are modern legends though...that's what's funny about it.

Fixed.

Whoever it is will not be worth paying an additional £15.00 to watch.
