    How do you see this going down...when khan moves up to 147 a fight with Berto is inevitable as Berto needs to get back on top and a fight with Khan will sell....to be honest the berto from the ortiz fight will give Khan a tough matchup and his power can definetly end the fight but with Khan you just never know what you are gonna get??....so how do does everyone here on the brit forum see this future matchup going down..!!

    I don't see it as a particularly tantalising matchup IMO. Can't see it being made, anyway.

    Khan is not too smart, but surely enough to gauge what Berto is doing (the same things over and over again) but I'm not certain Khan will have the dig to
    keep Berto consistently honest.

    Khan flurries his way to a decision where he gets stunned a few times.

    This wouldn't be easy for Khan and i don't rate Berto to much but you got either outbox Berto or go to war and bully the bully and i don't think Khan can box that well for 12 rounds without having troubles in this battle.

    Berto's not great himself it's a hard one to call tbh.

    berto would KO him, khan would never be able to pull the same **** ortiz pulled on berto, the second time ortiz went down if a similar thing happened to khan he'd be in a comatose state khan has no boxing brains, he's just a speed merchant who fights in an amateur style

    Berto for all his flaws has a serious straight right, and he's very fast with it. Khan isn't going to get him out of there, and isn't elusive enough to avoid it. Berto is going to land it cleanly and fairly often. It might be a bit cliched now to talk about Khan getting KO'd, but I think Berto is a much more likely to do it than Maidana.

    When Khan moves up to 147?

    Not happening for a few years yet I think, Khan is every inch a light welter.

    Agreed. Berto would land it sooner or later.

    Khan is ganna get KO'd again pretty soon, mark my words fellas. He has a horrible technical flaw that everyone is missing (no, not his chin) which will be exploited when he moves up against someone who can much his physicality or has the tools to take advantage of it.

    I believe Berto would catch Khan with something big and knock him out. Khan would be ahead on the cards though.

    If Khan engages Berto on the inside i think Berto will TKO him , in all honesty i think this is not a bad fight stylistically , Berto is currently seen as somewhat irrelevant at present after losing to Ortiz and Collazo (IMO) , and in many's eyes he's seen as a phoney on the world stage , time and good quality matches will tell with Berto .

    Im not sure Berto is somebody Roach would like Khan to face , he is a solid puncher with excellent hand speed and reflexes , this is something Khan relies on as an advantage against the majority of his opponents , Khan's reach would be a factor in this fight and it would interesting to see how Berto would counter the reach and outside style Khan has .

    As it stands today , id fancy a Berto stoppage .

    Berto by brutal Ko

    Khan has one of the worst chins in boxing, and Berto would land bombs on it

    Berto by devastating KO in the first 10 seconds. I am getting to the stage where anyone V Khan in these mythical matchups I am picking by KO to win if they hit harder than Willie ****ing Limond
