Cotto there for the taking, Khan would do a great number on him..

    Cotto would simply murder Khan on the inside. I actually think he'd finish him, career-wise.

    Very true, but it also helps to have a strong base, strong planted legs help's the technique.

    Hoping at 147 Khan settle downs a bit and moves less.

    Skinny legs or fat legs have nothing to do with power, power comes from timing and technique. Khan's timing and technique is wanting at this point. Roach has improved it somewhat but it is still wanting. Khan has the natural gift of hand speed but has never been able to time his punches. It's quantity over quality, he is not economic with his punching, not clinical. He is not slick just quick.

    At the moment he win by speed and physical fitness due to his diligence and hard work in the gym, but eventually this will wear him out. Someone like Floyd is as quick but he also has the gift of timing and is clinical.

    Against Cotto this may not be enough, and Khan may struggle.

    Having stronger legs can only help the issues, saying having stronger bigger legs makes no difference is wrong, but I agree technique plays the biggest part in delivering the power the right way using all your Balance, foot placement, swinging your upper body the right way at the right time, so many factors play a part with strong base just a part of the equation.

    I was banking on Khan being a bit less mobile (going up in weight tends to make you bigger therefore less mobile), and settling and planting his feet more.

    Ofcourse people say well he then will be there to get hit more, but right now we see Khan moving too much, I think there are ways of being more effective with his movements and serving the same goal.

    Khan needs to learn to burn less energy in wastful movement, he should twisting and spinning his opponents more, and not going back in striaght lines and on to the ropes, so wanted to see if Khan made some improvements in these area's in the Peterson rematch.

    He might not be tested enough in his next fight to find out. Someone like Cotto will be a real test though.
