    what are you talking about? power is less effective as you go up in weight and face bigger, stronger men

    I was no longer able to drop them with shots I usually dropped them with - SRL

    You know the saying "Styles make fights" right?

    Cotto is a horrible style match up for Khan...In fact, he is one of the very worst styles for Khan...Timing neautralizes speed...and Cotto has excellent timing. Khan doesn't have the power, durability, angles, and relentlesness of Pacquiao, and more importantly, Khan can't fight worth a **** on the inside...that against one of the best in-fighters today, and you have a long painful night waiting for Khan...

    Cotto would beat the living **** out of him. It would be disastrous. Look what Maidana did to Khan. Not even a close fight. Khan gets stopped b/w 8-10 rounds.

    Better question is "how long" would Khan last Vs. Cotto.

    How did Cotto deal with Floyds speed, by winning 2 rounds? Khan is clearly faster than Floyd anyway

    No he's not. On top of that, Floyd has MUCH more skill, better timing, better accuracy, better defense, More power, Better chin, Stronger.....should I go on????

    Khan is all wrong for Cotto, all wrong. Cotto was having trouble timing Yuri Foreman at 154, how will he time Khan at 147?

    He won four rounds in my card and gave Floyd a competitive fight, few could do what he did last weekend.Not to mention that Floyd is several levels above Khan in just about every department and a much better overall fighter than Khan.

    Boxing isnt all about speed like you seem to think if it was Meldrick Taylor would've retired undefeated.

    Khan went through hell keeping Maidana and Peterson off of him..How the **** is he gonna keep a stronger, much more skilled, heavier handed Cotto off of him?

    This is true, but he still has more than enough to wreck someone like Khan.

    A peak version would end Khan's career.
