Why does Amir need to show he is ready for Floyd? Floyd has already agreed to fight him, providing he doesn't fuck up beforehand and get beat.
For Khan's confidence to know that he can beat with a live welterweight.
I'd normally agree but i don't think Mayweather is a big welterweight really. And he's such a unique fighter that it wouldn't really matter.
Floyd has grown into the welterweight division before he had to run from the Baldimors but now he can stand toe to toe with Shane (after getting hurt) and Ortiz, so I think Khan would do well to properly acclimatise at the weight. For his confidence it would be better to beat Brooks than Hatton.
