    1. you mentioned ultimate hype train Andre Berto.

    2. Khan already has beaten Ortiz by TKO in the amatuers, Khan has shown masses of improvement since then, Ortiz (apart from beating ultimate hype train Andre Berto) has not.

    3. Ortiz will not be the same after Floyd dismantles him.

    4. You picked Judah to beat Khan.

    berto is pretty explosive and has good handspeed and power, he is a hypejob that fought easy fights during his wbc small reign but he isnt a bad boxer. Him and ortiz both have good power and are more accurate than maidana for example, with khans chin you can never exclude the chance of him losing those fights.
    I didnt pick judah to beat khan, I thought khan would win late tko or ud with the possibility of a early judah ko.

    Seriously?

    I think he'll fill in very well at 147 and would beat everyone at 147 except May and Pac, who knows we'll have to see both May and Pac in their next fights to get a better idea.

    Lets not forget that maidana nearly stopped khan when they fought 7 months ago, khan still has flaws and luckily he seems to eb improving.
    I would be very impressed if khan fights ortiz and berto and ends up 2-0, honestly because I think they are strong guys that would definitely connect at some point. khan fighting berto before floyd would be a great test.

    If Khan follows a watertight game plan, stays disciplined, and doesn't fade in the late rounds, I honestly think he has the ability to school Berto and Ortiz.

    I have always said that. Freddie is a great offensive coach. Not so much defensive.

    The only reason Khan would do well at 147 is because 147 sucks. The top WWs of a few years ago would have destroyed Khan. Mayweather still would.

    yeah and Khan nearly stopped maidana in the first.

    Maidana also has a KO/Stoppage % of 88.

    your logic is flawed.

    Khan is still too deeply flawed to be elite at 147.

    It shows that despite khans potential, he still has flaws that could be exploited by hard hitting,accurate punchers. Ortiz and Berto both are good fighters who punch hard. I would be very worried when Khan fights either of them because I think he would have an extremely tough fight with either guy.
    I hope we can see it next year maybe.
