What next for the Bolton boxer if he gets beat and beat bad against Alexander is that the end for him or will he try to slug Kell in to a massive UK fight ?? A here Kell is back in training and looking very impressive what's ya thoughts guys

The payday against Kell is always going to be on for Khan. This fight was one of the best business decisions his camp have made for a while. The Brook camp really need Khan's name to get off to a flyer in the states

True but if Khan gets boomed and Kell smashes his next kid would it be a back step fight some kid that just got Ko'd

Alexander is a light hitting fighter , so if he gets ko'd by him it should be the end of his U.S fights .

I don't think it would. Kell would be keen to get a highlight reel ko of Khan too. Over here, we might get that arguement about how it's a backwards step for Brook but the Americans would only view the result of Khan v Brook. Good sales figures would also make him more marketable to the Americans

ideally you want both Brook and Khan coming off impressive wins, calling each other out and meeting in a match for the title. But that's an ideal world. Even if either/both men lose, they can be given set up matches the same as Bellew and Cleverly were.

Brook vs. Khan is money over here in England and I think it would do decent numbers in the US too, it doesn't make sense for either fighter to avoid the fight.

As much as titles are nice, the end game of boxing is to be a rich mofo and Brook vs. Khan (possibly best of 3) would make a lot money.
This fight will happen regardless of the outcome Saturday night...

U won me over weeshaw .one of best posts in ages

If Khan gets smashed (as implied above) then a fight with Brook is on the back burner. Maybe an eliminator with Frankie Gavin with the winner getting Brook

The Americans love khan. It doesn't matter if he loses. He is entertaining. He will always get fights in the U.S.

Khan will always get fights.

he makes things interesting and exciting with his style and has proven he's always up for a challenge (I wont take this talking of ducking personally)

Depends how he gets beat. If its close, the Brook fight would be a good option. If its wide or a KO, I'd say Victor Ortiz and him will fight and he will see how he goes from there.

He'll become a top ten contender and have to work his way back into a title shot the hard way or fight someone else to get a win and start calling out Floyd again.

Isn't that what he is now?

he will blame it on the trainer, then he will blame it on the racist fans, he will blame it on a man in a mysterious hat......then he will go back to fighting the weakest possible opponent, some 45 year old ex superfeather who cant punch, then he will claim he deserves a shot at mayweather as mayweather has been avoiding him for years because of his unbeatable speed.

true and point well made but I mean that he's among the top of the top ten contenders, according to the WBA he is Ranked number 2 behind Keith Thurman who is the interim welterweight champion, I mean he'll become one of the lower top ten contenders such as the 9th or 10th rankings currently held by Sadam Ali and Frankie Gavin

I've got a feeling Khan will beat Alexander quite handily on Saturday, Which will make him an easysell as a Mayweather opponent or another Ameircan name

Win or Lose tho I would personally love to see the Brook fight next ( I would also favour Khan in this fight)

He'd fight Brook then possibly retire. But I think he will be beat Alexander and Brook.

If Khan got KO'ed, would anyone want to see the Brook fight as Alexander is known to have very little power at the top level, where as Brook's power at the top level is unproven yet but it is probably better than Alexander's anyway.
