Zab, EM, and Brook Enough To Get Khan Ready For Floyd?

[DLT]

I saw an article where Khan says his plan is to beat Zab, defend the title against Morales in the states, then go to the UK & fight Brook at WW, and then Floyd.

1st off, are you guys ok with Khan maybe using the non Bradley fight as an excuse to fight Zab & EM back to back? Not only that but if he has those 2 fights in a row then is Brook a good enough 3rd fight for you guys? Then the final question is are those 3 guys good enough to prepare him for Floyd?

He MUST face Bradley before he faces Mayweather. He can't fight Erik Morales and Kell Brook after Judah and expect to be ready to fight Mayweather. I feel thats a complete disappointment.

Khan needs to prove his mettle at 140 and a fight with Bradley is DAMNED important as part of that formula.

Kell Brook...you would expect him to fight Ortiz or at least Berto!

Khan understands that Bradley won't fight him in 2011. Bradley is not going to risk losing from Khan because of inactivity and will fight somebody else. In the meantime, Arum will warm him up for a potential Pacquiao showdown.

Even though there are more meaningful fights out there, Khan vs Morales would be huge in terms of exposure and coverage. If Brook doesn't have a belt by the time Khan moves up to 147, the Brook fight is unnecessary. Brook has skills though.

I'm cool with Zab. That's a good fight. I'm NOT cool with Morales. That fight does nothing. The guy just lost to Maidana! And that fight was only competitive because Maidana can't box for s**t. He'd get destroyed by Khan right now.

Brook could be a good fight,but ONLY if Brook fights the Berto-Zaveck winner or Mike Jones first. Otherwise that's a pointless fight.

I actually think that this would be great for Amir Khan and great for the build up in the fight.

With Judah, it does test his chin. Judah punches hard but he's also got the skill to land. If the fight lasts four rounds or more, he's going to get tagged at least a few rounds. If he makes it out of this fight, he'll have more proof that he can take a decent shot and get through the rounds.

Erik Morales is a money fight that will add another name to his legacy and perhaps get him a few more fans. This will also get the fight closer to a bigger deal.

The Kell Brook fight fight is a big time domestic fight and could get the British fans more hope in Khan. If the Brook fight is the third and final fight before the Mayweather showdown, it allows Brook to get some decent wins and make the fight interesting. Still, it has to be handled correctly.

I'm not sure if his skills will develop against these guys, but staying busy and honing what he already knows will likely get him as close as he'll ever get.

after Zab:

1. Try and make the Bradley fight.

2. If that fails be done with 140 and go to 147. And try and get Berto or Ortiz if he loses to Mayweather.
