    Who would win?

    Khan's fast hands and shaky chin vs Torres' big punch and shaky chin.

    I say Khan by TKO.

    Khan doesn't have a big punch at all. What he does have is lighting fast hands, supreme accuracy and far better technical skills. If Torres is back to his best and starts as explosively as we've seen he could catch Khan cold, but right now I'm edge towards Khan on form and the basis that he's now disciplined, improved defensively and is the better technical fighter. I think a TKO aswell mid-to-late, his accuracy and speed would be Torres' undoing.

    Torres two losses one a head butt and unfairly ruled the other is a body punch. Khan is not a body puncher and Torres beat good boxers. He is skilled hits very hard and is very seasoned. Khan is good and well trained and managed but I like Torres better. I also dont think Khan brings what is necessary to beat him Plus Torres is no Salita

    Personally I think he does but I do see your point, he is no Kid Dynamite. I will fix it.

    Torres should have got another fight with Holt, is this a fight that could happen or is Torres being frozen out/avoided??

    khan's big punch?... i still think against guys like maidana, ortiz, torres, or urango, khan has a terrible time weathering the storm. if he can do it, he would win this fight. he's obviously a far better fighter than torres. i just need to see him survive against one of these tough, strong, explosive, pressure fighters first hand before i believe he can beat one of them without getting brutally knocked out.

    i don't think torres has a shaky chin, maybe susceptible with flash knockdowns.

    torres, remember what he did to cotto? (though that torres maybe long gone)

    Push him to the floor? And then proceed to get his arse kicked?

    --

    Kendall Holt's chin is terrible aswell, yet he went 11 with Torres and was beating him before somebody chucked a beer can at him.

    Khan has the technical skills, and now the focus and discipline coupled with the speed and precision punching to be about to beat Torres.

    He should have a reach advantage here aswell as I'm pretty sure Torres' doesn't extend beyond 71". I don't think he's the fighter he was either. Hasn't he moved up to '47 now aswell?

    have you watched the fight? both of them took a beating. he rocked cotto several times, however, miguel cotto's boxing prevailed, thus the win.

    Boxrec says his last fight was against some can back in mid 09, I don't know where he is now.
