    That much is obvious but you don't need to be that close to Floyds level to beat Cotto, especially at WW

    I disagree, Cotto never lost control of that fight and Yuri never dared to venture on the inside regardless of the fact he could not get into a comfort zone from the outside. There's a reason why a natural 154lbs Foreman decided to use his feet all night and not go toe to toe with Cotto. I like Khan he's an excellent fighter, I think his heart is underrated around here but that heart would earn him pain and sorrow in a competitive fight where Cotto never takes a step back other than to gather himself or create a new approach.

    I doubt the bookmakers would even have Cotto favorite in this

    At 147 Khan would do a better Job on Cotto than Floyd did at 154, Khan has about the same reach as Floyd but is faster moving around the ring Cotto moves around like a grandad, plus Khan has faster combos than Floyd too, it will be in out from Khan all night.

    Khan UD

    yet only Pac and a cheating Margo were able to beat him at 147.

    Khan has his hands full with 140 pound fighters that put pressure on him i wonder i he would do against welters that come in close to 160 on fight night.

    My guess is he probably get wrecked badly.

    Funny thing is, what i said is nowhere remotley close as laughable as to what you delusional Khan fans have been posting in this thread.

    Nice place to live IMHO, it gets a bad rap because of Mr. Curtis Jackson but for the most part a very livable place. lol

    Khan can't handle pressure.

    140lbers in Maidana and Peterson had Khan running around for dear life, yet he's gonna beat Cotto, who is more skilled, bigger, stronger, can actually cut off the ring, and is a flat out better inside fighter???

    I repeat, YDKSAB.
