You tell me which British fighter would give khan a proper test with the possibilty of beating him?

John Murray
Kell Brook

I wouldnt be to gutted with Witter though, he USED to be quite fast and could bang a bit plus he would give Khan more than 2 or 3 rounds. How about a Barrera rematch?

Or FW asking him to step up and finally getting rid of "former world champion" and "was never Amazing" Alex Arthur? by letting Khan retire him?

Book hasn't faced anyone close to being a contender, who do so many think he stands such a good chance of beating Khan?

Recent footage of Witter looks in great shape

some of the padwork he was doing there looked bloody bizarre!

Maybe so but he flattened Harris with his combinations

True although in hindsight harris is abit of a chump in all honesty,got knocked out by maussa and knocked out by ortiz aswell.

REALISTICALLY, who do you think Khan should fight next, bearing in mind:

- it won't be Bradley or a current, live REALLY big name
- it needs to be a credible opponent (or one who can be made credible with a bit of spin)
- needs to be able to sell in the UK
- they don't want to pay much money
- they don't want to get him beat

Kell Brook!

although brook will pose a threat

Witter will get to Khan with a big shot. He can dig and has a great chin. Khan wont take the risk with Junior.

Personally id still like to see the mccloskey fight,they wouldnt have to pay him that much.just a decent adequate offer would be enough!I still think that fight could be made aswell if khans team are fair.

allegedly the reason hatton-witter didn't happen is because of witter's less than exciting performances so sky veteod it.

But now we have a situation where we have witter who has lost 2 of his last 3 fights, doesn't hold a world title, has publicly said he can't make the weight anymore and has been inactive of late, is being put forward as a credible opponent for a sky PPV?

it would only happen in boxing.

tell me about it!

Maybe a dumb question but is there any reason why khan v bradley cant happen on april 16? like tv contracts or anything.

i dont know the answer to that myself to be honest.

cos khan wants a reasonablly credible opponent, but one that he knows he can beat for a moneyspinning UK return before facing someone who has a serious chance of beating him.

that could be it i wouldnt blame him if it is the reason, but if bradley wants to fight in the UK it must be at least on the table.

The questions is who can they get past SKY and HBO for £50,000 of a £1,500,000 million pot.

i.e. Khan 97% Opponent 3%

I think that the old guy knows what he's doing, though.

Personally I think Prescott meets all of the above criteria.

yeah but what about the not wanting to get him beat bit?!I have a feeling that prescott might just be khans bogeyman rather than being the better overrall fighter which is clear in all honesty,People will say look how comfortably that mitchell dealt with prescott and that was the case but i think the significant height difference actually helped mitchell in that fight because alot of prescott big shots were going over the top of mitchell instead of landing whereas khan who's a little shorter would take those shots because he's a taller man.

I don't think Prescott is Khan's bogeyman. Khan is a massive light welter, so god knows how he made 140lbs. It's obvious that Khan's chin issues where mainly because of draining, so with that not that much of an issue now I think things are different. Prescott too, has been exposed beyond belief - if a small, previously overrated Mitchell can out-box him then Khan definitely can. Prescott fell on his feet the last time they met - it wouldn't happen again, IMO.

yeah but what i was saying about the size of say khan vs mitchell is true i think,the sort of shots that caught khan in there fight were sailing over mitchells head because he was so much smaller.

So if Mitchell wasn't a munchkin and was, perhaps, 2/3 inches taller, he'd have been chinned, like Khan?

Lol well im not saying that for definite but if you go and watch that fight back you'll see that 90% of the power shots that prescott was throwing were sailing over mitchell.P.s when he fought katsidis they were pretty much the same height and when katsidis was throwing he was catching mitchell on the chin more often than not.
