I reckon Collazo is a possibility, he's just regained some star power and is known over here already. He's about the right pace for Khan to outbox and just dangerous enough to get people interested in the fight. A convincing win over him and Khan keeps himself in the frame.

Is Khan tied in to fight his next few fights in America? Would love to see Khan Brook but can't see it happening as can see Brook losing if he ever steps up and Khan could go at any stage so for them to fight now would make perfect financial sense

Can't see it being Khan v Broner next - Golden Boy will want both of them to win. Maybe Collazo, maybe a Paulie rematch

What about Rios? Dont think his power will carry up to 147 so not as much of a chin threat as he may sound on paper. Still a name even allowing for the defeats and his mouth would sell the fight. Decent test to let Khan settle at 147 without a huge threat.

Too dangerous to me, Khan isn't a Welterweight, no matter what he says and Rios is bigger, stronger and better all round than Peterson, who bullied Khan at times and he definitely has enough one punch power to drop Khan. I don't think he has enough to keep Rios off him either, he's fast, but has no brain so the idea of getting punches off then spinning away from Rios doesn't come into his head, he'll meet him head on and eventually get ground down. The Malignaggi rematch is his best option, zero chance of a KO and an easy win, it's time to pick up a few easy retirement paydays, one more defeat and it's curtains for Amir.

Rematch with Prescott in UK. I am sure it will be interesting fight.

Khan has definitely regressed under Hunter

The worst thing about it, is that he looks slower of hand and of foot

Khan vs Rios would be awesome. I don't have a clue about the politics/television/scheduling/etc, so no idea if it's even a remote possibility but I'd watch it if they made it.

Steve Lillis has confirmed Khan’s “short list” includes IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter, IBF jr welterweight champion Lamont Peterson and former champions Adrien Broner and Paulie Malignaggi. Not on Khan’s list is bitter British rival and IBF #1 rated welterweight Kell Brook, who recently called out Khan, proclaiming that he would be Amir’s “biggest payday out there.”

I second this.

He stood in front of Garcia and was caught by a monster left hook.

That was no reason to leave Freddy Roach.

The reason for leaving Freddie wasn't to do with the loss, it is because he wasn't getting the training time. In the build up to that fight, he had to train in the Philippines because of Manny and when he was out there Ariza walked out without even bothering to tell him.

I fancy that one. Zero chance of it happening sadly.

X2 what a fantastic match up.

Rios was always a phoney, and I doubt he'll ever win another significant fight. And what has Gain shown that suggests he'd have a chance? I thought David Barnes beat him out at least can very close, and in not alone in that. Broner isn't the scalp he was, but I'd fancy Khan against him too.

You thought David Barnes beat Frankie Gavin? Did you watch the fight?!? I never realised you could win a fight throwing 5 punches a round.
