Amir Khan names three potential Manny Pacquiao alternatives

British welterweight Amir Khan names Danny Garcia, Lamont Peterson and Kell Brook as potential candidates for his next opponent.

Amir Khan has named three fighters he could potentially face if he fails to secure a bout with Manny Pacquiao.

The Bolton scrapper is aiming to be Pacquiao's final opponent, but is considering rematches with Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson as fallback options with talks with the Filipino said to have broken down.

Khan also said that he is open to an all-British showdown with Kell Brook.

"A rematch with Danny Garcia could be an amazing fight for me - it is a fight where I want to prove myself," BBC Sport quotes Khan as saying. "I know I am a better fighter than he is and I just made a mistake when I fought him the first time.

"When I fought Lamont Peterson I know I won the fight but didn't get the decision, but a fight with Kell Brook could happen as well - he is one of the top guys who we would be looking at."

Garcia defeated Khan in four rounds in 2012, while Peterson edged him out on points in 2011.

Khan has not fought since defeating Chris Algieri in May.
