    In term of a mismatch.

    Cotto is nearly done while Khan has a glass chin.

    Khan Vs. Mayweather is a MUCH bigger mismatch.

    Cotto at least might have a chance that Sergio is not the same.
    Amir is getting KTFO.

    Cotto and Khan should never be in the same sentence.

    I think Cotto could still give us some great matches with excellent fighters, I just don't think he should be fighting in that weight class... Personally, I think Welter Weight is where he REALLY belongs. Ulitmately, I feel like he is quite a bit north of where he should be. However, Cotto is still a great talent, and he always comes to fight.

    On the other hand, Mayweather fighting Khan isn't as bad a match as many try to make it out to be; that is primarily a reaction to his blatant ducking of Pacquiao. I think it could actually be a somewhat interesting fight. Still, Khan is as vulnerable as he is talented, so we could see Mayweather pad his KO percentage with this one.

    So yeah, overall I agree. Both are somewhat interesting, but both heavily favour one fighter over the other.

    At least Cotto has the chance of producing a knock out. It will be a miracle if Khan has his spaghetti legs under him by the 6th round.

    Most boxing fans like Cotto, but let's keep it real. Unless Sergio is completely shot, he's going to beat the brakes off Cotto.

    Miguel is a small 154lber who struggled with the likes of Trout and the inactive Josh Clottey, now he's going to challenge the MW King?

    It's not going to be pretty in MSG.

    yeah khan shouldn't be in the same sentence as a guy who's best win is probably 2007 shane mosley

    Khan is so underrated at this stage it's ridiculous

    *(no disrespect to cotto who i'm also a fan of)

    Are you kidding me? Cotto has never fought at 160 before. He came from 140 at the begining of his boxing career. He's too small to beat Sergio.

    For Khan, he still has a serious problem with his chin so he can't last 12 rounds against Floyd Jr. even though the latter is not a KO artist.

    Both Cotto and Khan will get KO'd. Mark my words.

    Yup. But the good thing is, so many Cotto fans who think he's "rejuvenated" will once again make the odds very good to go big on Martinez. Cotto really has no chance. The guy is a WW and has no business fighting a legit MW. Unless if Martinez can't even walk, he will KO Cotto. Cotto just has a lot of loyal fans who are delusional.

    Yeah, but Sergio will weigh 170 lbs on fight night and can KO middleweights. He'll have no problem hurting a natural WW.
