Freddie Roach says Khan wants a rematch in the UK. Garcia can fight for a million dollars in the US (he got half that this time) and has no real reason to take on a better boxer who has no titles.
Step up to 147 and fight a British joker so that he doesn't lose 3 on the bounce. Get back to winning or hang up your gloves

Actually think now is the perfect time for him to take on Kell Brook. It is literally the only fight that can get him back up and Brook isn't a real banger so is ideal for Khan who should be able to look good against him. It is obviously a big risk but I think at this stage Khan has to take a fight like that. I think pretty much any other fight would have to be at a level and with a crowd that Khan would find difficult to get up for properly.

Agree. The fight would be a massive seller over here and the winner would be in line for a title shot. It also has a big attraction for Brook as a win would give him far greater recognition. Would be a very interesting fight. I'm also looking for tasty odds on Garcia's opponent next time he is in with someone world class as I'm pretty sure they will be value on the back of Saturday's result. A decent boxer with a defence will school him.

Khan at 6-4 plus would be a bet... and I agree with Bazza Garcia could be worth opposing next time

Maybe too risky for khan - if he was beat surely means end of career.

I don't think Kell needs to take it either. He is on the up and I see Kahn as a side ways step. Does Kell not say Kahn always dodged him?

While I'm here, let me address the "I won't watch cos they're a disgrace to boxing" question.
I think there are two separate issues. Most people became fed up with Haye acting like a dick, shooting his mouth off, using decapitation and gang-rape as metaphors for what he would do to opponents and generally overstating his ability. They tolerated it while he was winning, but when he came up short against Wlad, there wasn't much sympathy from a public he had turned off. Combined with that, we have Chisora, who just seems to be a complete low-life. The events in Germany alienated the public further, even more so as their arrogance and behaviour was contrasted against the more civilised demeanour of both Klitschkos. People also felt, to some extent, that they had let the country down.
I think these are the real reasons that people are alienated from this pair. The "unseemly brawl", such as it was, was no worse than numerous others that have occurred previously and they were no more a "disgrace to boxing" for that than all the others who have indulged in this type of thing. I don't really believe those who say they are not going to watch because of the punch-up that occurred, such as it was.
Two of the worst incidents in the past were largely due to Holmes and Lewis
, but they remained heroes and people kept watching them.
Lewis how?

I follow Eddie Hearn on twitter and get the impression that they don't need Kahn do much any more

Lewis how?
He had a joint interview with Rahman that turned into a wrestling match that smashed up half the set. Both to blame to start with, or even a bit more Rahman, but then Lewis kept coming back for more.
Holmes had a dust-up in the car-park with Berbick and then ran over the top of a car like a runaway walrus to land a surprisingly impressive drop-kick.
It's all on YouTube.

I'm sorry to say I thought the Lewis vs Rahman brawl was tremendous. Needless to say disgusting behaviour but very entertaining all the same. Funny how everybody on set is looking to break up the fight but quickly realise nobody present actually has the ability to do so. This sort of genuine incident gets you excited about a fight whereas Haye and Chisora put on a punch and judy show.

Didn't realise Kahn was only 25, seems a bit mad to suggest he should consider retirement. He desperately needs a reality check as he definitely has some skillz but if he wanted to fight Mayweather for any reason other than a huge payday then he's delusional.
