If Khan beats Zab and still cant get Bradley for whatever reason, then I think he might as well go to WW and try to get prepared for a possible super fight with Mayweather. Morales might make you a lil more popular but Floyd isnt just going to sit idle and if you wait too long then the Pacquaio fight might still come 1st. Brooke is solid and it would be huge state side but most want to see him beat a legit WW before a Floyd fight.
I have always taken up for Berto more then others. I never liked his footwork. I think he moves around the ring horribly and that will keep him from being top notch. However, Ive also always said that 99% of his problems come from a terrible trainer & scheduling. By scheduling I mean fighting Southpaw after Southpaw. Most guys just arent going to look good against that. Then you times that by 10 when you have a trainer like his.
I saw Berto fight a Southpaw in Urango and circle right the whole fight and look very subpar. You never circle right against a Southpaw when you are a righty. Its just not natural and its very awkward. The trainer said they did it because Urango's best punch is the right hook. Surely I felt Berto looked so bad that the trainer would have learned. Then against Ortiz he does the same thing.
Ive always said if you put Berto in with a righty even on the level of a Mosley, Cotto, or Margarito then he would look way better then he would against Southpaws who clearly arent as good as those guys, just due to the style. It would feel like a much more natural & comfortable fight for him. At the same time, if Khan beats Judah and then beats Berto then he looks real legit.
Im hesitant on it because I like both guys. I want Berto to win because again, I think he would look better against righies and show that the criticizm of him is not completely warranted. I want Khan to win because he has more star potential and could setup a super fight with Mayweather.
Since Ortiz just beat Berto then that win still might not be good enough for Khan to some people but for the other half it will and if not then he's only 1 more legit WW opponent away from people to feel he's the real deal. Would you guys think this is a good match and most of all, would you then feel like this is a 100% credible fight for Floyd if Khan won?
