    Been thinking about this match-up for the last 20 minutes and its really hard to play out.

    Khan is faster and stronger and seems abit oversized for LWW whereas Berto seems undersized for WW and isn't improving technique wise.

    Would be a great match-up and possibly the next big fight down the road.

    How do you all see this playing out?

    Toss-up, as far as I'm concerned. For now anyway.

    I figure many are just going to go Berto by early TKO cause of Khan's chin, but I can easily say the same for Khan by early TKO. lLight-hitting Collazo "floored" Berto.

    Berto hits harder than Khan, and Berto's chin is stronger than Khan's.

    is Collazo that light hitting? I'm wondering given the fact that he hurt Haton too. Maybe some times he can trow a decent punch when he wants to

    Yeah, as it stands now I'll go for Berto by stoppage. Khan's prime weight is still 140, and he shouldn't be bloated up to 147 just yet. Maybe in a year or two when he makes that natural progression up in weight, I'll favour Khan.

    I still cannot understand the earthquake jokes. So we mock some fighters, it's okay, but he lost some 8 family members for Chrissakes.

    On topic: Khan would be a bit too undersized here, Berto is bigger, stronger and punches harder, and I think Khan coming in straight lines is a recipe to get hit by Andre's quick punches. Khan wins a boxing match, but does he see the final bell?

    I agree. It's distasteful.

    No kidding, I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out, Bone. That is shitty.

    Berto isn't impressive to me at all. If Khan was a welter and more built-up solid, I'd say he'd give Berto a Boxing lesson.

    I will see after Khan's next few fights and see if he has the grit in him. If he wins his next few, then I'll say he'll win.
