    Cotto wins this imo. But not definetly. Because Khans offense is very impressive and i'd see him rocking cotto a couple of times early one.

    But I'd see Cotto comeing on strong earing khan down and stopping him late in the fight.

    It would be an awesome fight though.

    Those predicting one side blowouts either side are ******ed and are underating khan massively.

    nothing majorly wrong with khans chin post prescott.

    maidana landed huge shots and he kept going, almid a bit shaken.

    the shot prescott landed would have put many to sleep.

    khan was green as **** in that fight, had a pencil neck and has looked alot stronger since he moved to the states

    Cotto in his prime is a different story... This version of Cotto loses to Khan at 147/140, no doubt in my mind

    if maidana had landed that punch in earlier rounds, khan would have gotten knocked out but it happen in the 10th round and maidana had no more energy

    you mean the version of cotto that actually has defensive skills and uses angles and boxes rather than a left hook pressure fighter?

    cotto can still turn up the heat if he wants to he has just matured and boxes a lot more.

    cotto stops khan, early rounds would be competitive until he figures him out.

    people need to give credit to the man, i actually think this version of cotto is better than the early one although it less firey/entertaining.

    Well 2 of his 3 loses where against 2 of the fastest in the game. Khan is arguably quicker than both, although mayweathers ring IQ and Pac's power also played a big role in the wins.

    This would not be an easy fight for this current Cotto.

    I have a Cotto UD for this one, no where near as wide as people are making out, although I would fancy a TKO for 140 Cotto.
