Now I know its been discussed b4 and if I'm nt mistaken, many chose Amir to beat Miguel... Now after seeing how he has performed in his last fight coupled with Miguel saying he can make 147 still but only for big fights, has opinions changed?
Even before Peterson, I had picked Miguel in an entertaining fight; providing he could comfortably make 147 after two years of not being there. And seeing how Khan last time out struggled with pressure more than I thought he would, I'm even more convinced Miguel would break him down and get a late stoppage.
My sentiments exactly...in an interview before Mayorga I think it was, he said that he could make 147 easily still but would only do that for a big fight...Would Khan be big enough to make Miguel come down? I doubt it But I have Cotto by UD or even late TKO
Khan may have lost to petersen, but that doesnt mean much when talking about a fighter as overrated as Cotto Khan by late stoppage, simmilar to the pacquiao beating
Khan's with GBP, for starters. So the fight is an impossible one, anyway. But, if you freeze Miguel in time now, and wait for Khan to naturally progress into the 147 division, then I think it'll be a lot closer fight than people here are willing to admit. It's because Khan's just come off a disappointing loss and is behaving like a dick, that he's being looked upon less favourably and is having his chances immediately dismissed against anybody, it seems. But right now, Khan doesn't belong at 147. He's too light.
Khan..but im not fully sold i just think if he comes with a solid game plan to box and use his speed on the outside....which i know he doenst do a lot but if he did in this fight i think he could outbox Cotto to a razor close decision.
Miguel Cotto TKO 11 in a good fight. I'd love to see it next year after Khan-Peterson 2 and maybe Cotto-Mayweather/Cotto-Pacquiao 2.
