    Khan is a level above Berto, I reckon he gets him out of there by the mid rounds.

    Berto would have zero chance, he has no skill whatsoever. He is purely reliant on speed.

    Khan takes that speed away leaving Berto with nothing.

    He's never stopped a top flight opponent. His power is unproven at the top level.

    Berto by brutal stoppage. Khan doesn't have the power to keep Berto off him.

    Many people are also forgetting that Berto also has very decent handspeed, and, like Khan, he's easy to hit.

    I think Khan has the better boxing skills overall though and would win by a narrow UD. Would be a cracking fight though.
