    At this point I would have to favour Berto slightly. Khan has only had a few fights at Light Welter so to move up to welter may be a big ask at this stage.

    Give him six months to a year and I think this could be a good match up for Khan.

    Stylistically I think it's a fight which Khan could look quite comfortable in. Berto for me is very overated and I see him getting found out when he eventually fights at elite level.

    Seeing as this is mythical, who's to say Khan doesn't pack a harder punch and maintains his speed as he moves up in weight? At this time it's got to be Berto, Khan needs a few more wins under his belt and if he does eat a bomb from Maidana and manage to stay in there we'll have a greater idea of his chin. Also OP edit the "Earthquake" please, that's disgusting and got no place being used to mock Berto.

    Another easy fight for Khan. The boxer beats the slugger.

    Berto is easier to hit than a cheap ***** in east LA.

    Seriously, all the guy has is athleticism. I see Khan landing on him 5 for 1 easily, outjabbing him and hitting him from combos on the outside. We're talking about a guy whose comp is actually WORSE than Khan's, in a more stacked/money division. He would get ****ing beaten like a bad child.

    I can see Berto pressuring him and backing him up late, landing something big as Khan tries to keep him off of him. I can see Khan's speed and technique outlanding Berto for about four rounds before Berto starts to hit his mark a little bit and impose his will. I think Berto can hurt Khan late and capitalize.

    The only thing Berto has is a puncher's chance in this fight.

    Khan 5'10 Berto 5'8 1/2

    Khan would be a monster at 147.

    Khan would give Berto a boxing lesson.
