Roach claims Khan is ready for anybody

Roach says that Amir Khan is ready for Bradley, Alexander and Maidana but claims they are not big enough names for Amir to fight and that there have been no serious offers for Khan to fight either of them

again freddie to a certain point is a very likeable guy but hes mouth is getting out of hand..thoses 3 are plenty big names for kahn to fight....he maybe ready for anyone at 140 no doubt but freddie its a two way street..why dont you and your mouth talk to amirs promoter instead of the media and let your side put forth some legit and very serious offers..if you do ill bet youll get a few takers..
yes im old school and to me talk like this and the nonsence of calling out is BS..send out a serious offer or contract with kahns signature on it..then if no fight developes your team has a right to talk..untill then STFU.

Well Maidana was offered the Khan fight but turned it down.

maidana gave reasons for maybe not that fight but another claiming injury when it realy was management problems..how serious was the offer ali.was it a fair shake on the money etc etc..this i do not know but your a kahn fan and may have followed it fairly close..good luck on the job hunting.

i think he is trying to sell the fights more than anything and promote his fighter

I don't know the exact details but Golden Boy did contact him. Thank you

Considering GBP couldnt even provide Marcos a copy of his contract, how the hell do you take their offer serious????

So who is Khan going to face on 7/31 PPV?
Have a feeling it will be Murray

How 'bout a rematch against Breidis Prescott?

Prescott blew that chance when Kevin Mitchell outboxed him.

That aside, it would seem like Khan would want a rematch with Prescott to redeem himself.

I agree Dmar, Roach is getting out of hand with his comments to the media. It seems to me Freddie is already laying the groundwork for ducking Bradley, and Alexander.

It's a shame, I do feel Khan is ready for the best now. I want to see Khan vs Bradley right now.

I agree. I think that until he takes on the elite of the Jr. Welters, Khan leaves a lot to be desired. He's a good fighter but doesn't capture the imagination of the public. He's going have to prove what "Freddie" says in the ring. Also, I like what Freddie has done with Pacquiao. That said, I think it's time for Freddie to shut up.

Khan-Prescott II wouldnt be a bad match up, tries to avenge his loss on US PPV under card and exposes himself to the Mexican fans buying Diaz-Marquez II

Unless Roach is afraid of Prescott's power

Prescott is too high a risk too little reward at this point. I think we'll see that rematch after Khan beats another big name or two. IMO all the 140 guys need a little casual fan PR before we get them in the ring together. They are all young, they are all game and handled right in a year or two we can see some real action at that weight class. I would like to see them all fight on BAD or high profile undercards leading up to them facing each other. Lets see how the sanctioning bodies react to this though.

Khan vs RuPaullie was the most impressive performance I have seen this year. I want KHHhaaaannn!! to follow it up with a fight vs Bradley or Alexander.

Khan vs Bradley would do big box office in England. The Brits will remember Bradley from his destruction of Witter.

I agree with that, but the names mentioned so far are just as much risk as Prescott

Murray, Katsidis, or Casamayor

The Prescott rematch is a MUCH bigger fight for the fans and for Khan.
And like Ali mentioned, Prescott was already out boxed by Mitchell, odds would be in Khan's favor

Don King and Gary Shaw might not agree with you. Khan Maidana is the one I want to see. Golden boy needs to settle up with Maidana's manager and make this fight happen. What about Khan Vs. Ortiz?

Styles make fights don't forget. Iran Barkly beat Hearns twice and was outboxed by Duran.

4sho, but if I'm GBP, I look to make that fight if the kid thinks he's ready

At 140 it might be his only option for real money right now, so +1 Mr. Gomez.
