Basically what I said in the title. With Mayweather, Pac and Brook accounted for, where does this leave him?

Will he sit out in hope of a September date with the winner? A risky idea if what unfolds on May 2nd requires a rematch.

What's his next move?

Marquez - would JMM accept such a young, large opponent?
Maidana II - too risky? Or would it be easy this time around?
Thurman - too unknown a quantity
Porter - would anyone care?
Bradley - this might be a good one. Name entwined with Pacman, seems to have had his day, no big fight for him on the horizon.

I doubt it will ever happen but with so few options a Breidis Prescott rematch oozes intrigue.

No, it really doesn't.

Amir wants Timmy B, but i think Bradley will nab the Cotto fight. I wouldn't be to shocked if Amir ends up in with Berto or Victor Ortiz in his next bout.

Thurman would be a nightmare match-up for Khan imo. Agree that no-one would care about a Porter fight. All the other options would be acceptable fights for Khan, hopefully we won't have to wait too long for the Brook fight though.

I think Prescott would sell. Can you honestly say you wouldn't watch?

I didn't realise Cotto-Bradley was on the cards. Nice pairing. Berto and Ortiz are half cadavers, I do hope we get someone with some sign of a heartbeat.

I would watch Amir in nearly any fights, he's pure TV gold most 95% of the time. I just consider Berto or Ortiz to be more of a live threat than Prescott. I would expect Frankie Gavin for all his faults to be able to take Prescott on points.

Hearn is still offering Brook at wembly early June and I fancy Brook to make short work of Jo Jo Dan.

Thurman and Porter have fights soon too.

I wouldn't mind a Maidana fight again and Bradley would be a decent fight too ( Bradley v Cotto is ridiculous IMO)

End of the day Brook is the most lucrative for Khan now.

I wonder if Brook will become Khan's Witter - a man he can't bear to give the publicity and big payday to. I would expect with him this close to Pacman/Mayweather to take on an American opponent with less risk attached.

Amir should fight on floyd v pacman undercard

Either fighter gets injured in steps amir

get back up plan

Was he ever really going to get either of these fights? Hopefully his team have been smart and they will have something lined up.

I doubt he'll be in line to fight the winner next up either. The winner will not be prepared to negotiate the terms khan would want as they would rightly be entitled to say 85/15 (still be big money)to their next opponent

Well no that wouldn't happen - the fight would be rescheduled

I would like to see Khan v Bradley - I think that fight makes perfect sense at this point for both fighters

Prescott would sell over here but I don't think it would sell that well in america which is basically where Khan is based now. Big step backwards after beating Alexander too.

I wouldn't mind the Bradley fight to be fair, would like to see him fight Thurman but don't think he will yet.

Tim Bradley would be perfect.

Bradley can't punch, but he's good & a recognised name & if Khan can do a number on him, the rest of the division will sit up & take notice.

If Mayweather and Pacman are truly off the cards, then surely it has to be Timo Bradley. It's not exactly the first-class fight that he wanted, but it's probably the enxt best thing.

And if I were Kahn's promoter, In would be pushing very had to get him as the principle support on the billing. It would get him unreal exposure and probably save the promoter's advertising department a fair few quid

Moan and moan. And downplay the fight.

The prospect of Khan circling a marching Bradley for 12 rounds isn't all that appealing as a standalone event, but thrown in with the Mayweather/Pacman bill it would take on extra importance and create a real big fight gala feel. What better night for Khan to box a top class opponent than the night when the world is watching?

I didn't even realise Berto was still boxing and Ortiz is a horrid opponent. Why would anyone fight a man KOd in two by someone they had subsequently drubbed? Plus, boxing fans are too familiar with the Ortiz routine: talk about your tough upbringing and how hard it had made you, stride around the ring pre-fight with chest swelled, wear your meanest face - and then collapse the moment you're hit back. Khan is surely on too impressive a run of form to lower himself to boxing an Ortiz or Berto.

He still has unfinished business with Paul McCloskey

What's in it for mayweather and Pacquiao to have khan on the undercard? the main event sells itself and they would have to pay Khan and Bradley decent whack to fight. Realistically, he's not going to fight the winner as they will probably walk off into the sunset of retirement or rematch.

A rematch with Garcia?

Cheers there are a few people I'd watch Khan box, I like how he boxes, his bouts have drama.

I think he may decide to fight brook now. The only reason he wasnt really interested before is because he was trying to get floyd or manny.

Marques, Bradley or Maidana II seem the best available options.

How about bring Danny Garcia up to welter to see if he could avenge that loss.
A real risky one and one that would sell. But like the porter and thurman options, not likely to be one khans team even look at.
