    Well we shall find out next year but its about volume with Khan. The reason he won the Zab fight so well was down to timing and speed he beat Zab to nearly every shot and landed great combo's so why would cotto who is slower be any different? Khan would not be in range enough for Cotto to work the body as khan wont fight in that style like Pac did. We dont know how Khans power will be but i imagine it will be just fine with the extra weight. The second half of the cotto fight when Pac took control and held the ring and beat Cotto to the shot is how Khan would fight. Did you see the state of Zab's face did you see the state of Malignaggi's face? i think his power is just fine at the momment. Let the boy develop and the extra weight will do him wonders the same as it did for Pac.

    We dont really know how Khan's power will develop at 147, In my view his power will improve, plus in his last fight Khan is showing more signs of more planted shots and less bouncing around when throwing shots like he did vs Maidana.

    147 should further settle his feet as he would have more weight on them and being a bigger fighter all round.

    I dont think anyone has said that, but give him more time he is still only 24yrs, say like 4 more years how good will Khan be then when he is in his prime?

    We will see, I think we will see the best of Khan at 147, i really do.

    His frame and size is perfect for the move up and i think he is draining at 140 now.

    And i still stand by that, I said for the Maidana fight Alex over trained Khan yes, but we all make mistakes dont we.

    A 12 week camp was too long, that's why his last camp was 8/9 weeks, so Alex learned from his mistake.
