Top five next opponents for Adrien Broner

1. Amir Khan

Khan completed his comeback on the same night as Adrien Broner took a draw against Jessie Vargas. Both are high profile and attract differing degrees of notoriety. Both are flawed fighters too but capable of quality. It would probably be a good match up and the build up would certainly be unmissable.

2. Errol Spence

Spence has the talent and the persona to be a clean cut American idol. Broner would play the perfect villain to help launch Spence as a star.

3. Manny Pacquiao

The problem for Broner is that heโ€™s not a welterweight, nor seems particularly inclined to get down to super-lightweight. Pacquiao has fought at a similar 144lbs catchweight to Broner and this would be a big event.

4. Terence Crawford

Formerly the unified super-lightweight champion, Crawford is moving up to welterweight to challenge for a world title in a third weight class. In terms of skill Crawford is one of the most gifted boxers in America, but he wonโ€™t yet have had time to grow into the weight class.

5. Jeff Horn

The Australian is the man who beat Manny Pacquiao. He is a strong, physical welterweight but can certainly be outboxed.
