    Chico was much better at lightweight than Khan. Khan also had a serious case of glassjaw so I can see him being taken out in 5.

    From watching hours of fight tapes on both fighters, matching up the styles, calculating the speed, power, defense and boxing skills of both fighters. Khan by mid to late round knock out is the conclusion I have came to using a precise formula to pick the fight.

    Chico is so massively underrated here.

    Khan got sparked by Prescott... and dropped by everyone with a pulse at lightweight. The guy sucked at 135. Chico was a beast at 135, can't believe people would pick Khan .

    What weight?

    At 135, Chico would win by stoppage.

    At 140, the Khan of today would win.

    The threadstarter hasnt stated at what weight the fight would be, maybe i should do one too, Joe Louis vs Ricardo Lopez

    At 140, Khan would outbox Chico and simply not get involved, leading to either a wide UD or a late stoppage.

    It's unfair to compare a raw fighter to an established champion. Prime for prime, Khan has a lot more potential. The best of Khan beats the best of Corrales.

    You...can't do a fight like this without specifying the weight class. It makes an enormous difference.

    At 135 Chico takes him out pretty easily.

    At 140 present Khan wins by a comfortable UD after a few scary moments.

    Love Chico but he was kind of overrated. Guy was the tallest fighter in the division and hardly used his jab nor fought tall. The few times he did it made all the difference as proved in the Casamayor rematch. He could've beat fighters simply by just jabbing. But he did have dynamite power and could def ruin Khan badly. But I favor Khan who's just too fast for him. It just Khan's chin is a huge liabilty.

    Corrales had p4p one of the worst chins i've seen but this is rightly overlooked because his heart was 2nd to none.
