Amir Khan: Who Will He Fight Next?

Who's Amir Khan's next opponent?  If you check Khan's twitter, he says he will be making a decision soon and that the fighter won't be ranked as low as 33.  Floyd Mayweather has said that he wants Khan to fight Adrien Broner, but that doesn't seem very likely to happen so fast.  So, who do you think he'll be facing?  I've got some theories on who it will be.  So here it goes:

Luis Collazo - He just came off an impressive win against Victor Ortiz where he knocked him out pretty quick.  This got his name back into the boxing world.

Victor Ortiz - He lost to Collazo, but he is a former Mayweather opponent and can sometimes surprise folks like the time he beat Andre Berto.

Brandon Rios - Just came off a loss to Manny Pacquiáo.  It was a comeback fight for Pacman, so it garnered a whole bunch of press that Rios likely never experienced before.  It would be interesting to see this fight as Khan was formerly trained by Manny's trainer, Freddie Roach.  Could this fight possibly set up a fight between Khan and Pacquiáo?

Lucas Matthysse - Danny Garcia just beat him.  Garcia also beat Khan.  Lucas needs a comeback fight and he is a hard hitting knockout artist.  Khan's chin has been viewed by many as weak.  This could be an all out action fight if it were made.

There's my list.  I don't know who else he'd fight.  I hope it's not another no name guy or an older fighter coming up in weight.  Those fights tend to be boring when it comes to watching boxing.
