It's Azumah Nelson

Phil "the power" Taylor.

Javier Jauregui - one time world champion, but has won national titles.

His last fight against Klassen wasn't pretty to watch, Medina didn't have any punch resistance at all.

Kevin Kelly is still able to operate at a decent level, so wouldn't be the worst opponent.

The other name not mentioned could be Jesus Chavez.

He's the first on the boxrec rankings that I came across who fits the bill, but he falls into the same category as MAB and EM, I doubt Warren would let him anywhere near Khan, slightly faded, completely shot or otherwise.

Not in a million years.

Carlos Hernandez? IBC and IBF champion - lost to Kevin Kelley 2 years ago, making a comeback?

I'd love to know who this legend is... my money is on Tapia. He fits the bill of Legend.

It's a sad reflection on Warrens matchmaking that everyone searches for fighters at least a weight below Khan and aged 36+

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

Not a chance, it took a few rounds for Marquez to get into his rythym against Casa

When the day comes that Joel's been put down a few times by nothing punches then he'll be considered for Khan

So I suspect your laughter is based on the opponent being alot more credible than the names suggested? With the exception of Barrera and Casamayor.

Well lets see him in the ring... Enzo Mac was supposed to have a credible fighter in December and ended up with Magic Matthew Ellis.

Maybe risking on Castillo being shot to pieces?

The Potentials

Joel Casamayor
Jesus Chavez
Marco Antonio Barrera
Stevie Johnston - 36 - feather fisted, well past it.
Jorge Barrios - WBO/WBU, coming up in weight.
Sirimongkol Singwancha

Javier Jauregui - 53-16 record, has held NABF and IBF titles.
Manuel Medina
Kevin Kelley
Julio Diaz

Long Shots

Paul Spadafora - IBF & IBC
Juan Lazcano - NABF & IBA
Yusuke Kobori -WBA & OPBF
Bobby Pacquiao - Maybe he meant relation of multiple time world champ? Also Freddie Roach connection.
Scott Harrison - Still hunting a license but is an outside chance.
Dennis Laurente - PABA and OPBF champion.
Paulie Malignaggi

Based on that response the only logical fighter that fits that description is Stevie Johnson

Whoever it is, the fight is next month, so there won't be a big build up. I don't think it will be anyone anywhere near the top of the ratings. Definitely not someone like Casamayor, Jesus Chavez, Barrera, David Diaz, etc.

Johnston would be the favourite in my mind.

Are you boys crazy??? Do you think for one tiny moment that Khan will be matched against a dangerous fighter next??
Next year maybe but def not in his next fight

And I even posted that!

Woops.

Johnston is hardly a "modern day legend" as the article puts it, he was a damn good fighter but that was a decade ago.

Amir Khan Vs Gairy St. Clair II - The rematch the world has been waiting for!

Naseem Hamed, March 14, MEN arena, SKY Box Office

Funny you say harrison because I think he is in belfast training. It may be a good idea because he is well known and has been out of action for a while. Does anyone know whether he has any legal issues to resolve?
Does anyone have any idea will he be able to get a license back?

They can't announce a fight when they guy hasn't got a licence and has been turned down for it.

I thought Scott had a court case in Spain comming up, deferred from last year because the judge went sick. I dont think we will ever see him fight again never mind Feb/Mar. Scott would KO Khan anyway so noway would FW match those two.
