    Thats a good plan for Amir, for once I can’t disagree with him. Broner vs Khan is a competitive fight, not sure who would win that. At least Khan is acknowledging Brook now, I think Kell should get a catch weight fight at 151 to get him ready to go down in weight.

    Thoughts?

    Broner has power, i can see Khan getting hurt seriously with his chin.
    He fought 40 seconds vs Lo Greco, maybe he should fight first another couple of rounds vs a less heavy handed guy before facing sb like Broner.

    Very tough fight to pick.

    Khan wide decision or Broner KO, neither would shock me.

    People underestimate Broner's toughness even against maidana he still had his moments and didn't go without a fight.

    Broner can crack but who has he knocked out at world level? Porter (I know he knocked him down late), Miadana, Granados and Vargas all had no real issue with his power.

    I think if Broner lets his hands go and makes it a dog fight he'll stop Khan. Khan is always vulnerable once you start roughing him up and not play his boxing game.

    It's a big *if* with Broner because the guy seems to try to emulate Floyd at times with the shoulder roll and that's where Khan easily tees off on him racking up landed punches. Broner likes to get lazy and take his foot off the gas which gets him into trouble.

    Probably the absolute best route for Khan to take. Broner is very marketable and dangerous enough to be legitimate, but beatable and his style favors Khan's fast hands & jab. If Khan can't beat Broner then a Brook fight isn't deserved.

    And then if he beats Brook? Which is a big if...then he can think about competing with other elite welterweights.

    Khan vs. Broner is a good fight and one I'd be happy to watch.

    Good, Broner fight alone is something, fighting Brook, even at this stage of their careers would be a cherry on the cake. If all of this happens of course.

    I’ll watch and be overjoyed if Broner knocks him out and gives a disrespectful post fight interview.
