Realistically I think he's done. his last fight ended badly for him, with Khan staring blankly up at the ceiling and all the talk of a comeback keeps stalling due to one reason or another.
If he want's to prove a point I'd want him to fight someone like Tewa Kiram - A Thailand based boxer with a record of 38-0 and 28 TKO/KO wins to his record, if he fights even half as hard as the the Muay thai fighters do over there, Khan will be in for a fight and it'll prove if he can last a tough fight again.
Otherwise if he want's one last big showcase for himself fight someone like Andre Berto for the vacant IBO welterweight world title and retire win or lose.
He mentioned Pac as well

Yes he probably still dreams about a fight with Pacman . . . and Floyd . . . Its almost over now Amir, fight Brook or Saunders, take the cash and ride into the sunset . . .

Completely agree with both of you.
He did mention Pacquiao but I don't think that fight will ever happen, Manny has other options open to him and since he's got a huge following around the world he can go where ever he decides to have his final fight, Amir Khan on the other hand now after everything that's gone on is more likely to have his final fight in the UK.
Brook would be the biggest showcase and after all the hype around it, it would just be good to get it done at last. Khan Vs Saunders on the other hand; I don't like Khan but I don't want to see him hurt badly either. Alvarez KO'd him at light middle and I'd say Saunders is a natural middleweight.
I don't think in any way shape or form Saunders is a better boxer then Alvarez, but he does throw shots with power and against Khan who struggles against big punchers, Khan would get badly hurt and go out on his back.

Khan could safely put a glossy new coat of paint on his career with a "revenge" win over Lamont Peterson? Reasonably sellable fight and Peterson is lacking in power and probably the most diminished of the pair?

I can't see anything in Saunders that makes me think hell beat Khan. Weight advantage or not. I don't think he's got a hard punch an even though he boxes ok I think Khan would beat him

saunders would make khan look stupid.and he is way too big for him. bjs may not be the divisions biggest puncher, but lets not forget khan was chinny even at lghtweight. aside from it being a mis-match size wise...suanders boxing IQ is heavyweight compared to khans light-minimum weight

Khan isn't chinny.
Well... he may be but there is no evidence to suggest that he is from his pro career.
