    I'd like to see this fight. I feel Miguel would be to strong for Khan.
    Thoughts?

    Cotto . Khan still has more to prove before he takes on true world class like Cotto, even on the way down. I'd be very surprised if Roach went anywhere near this fight.

    At 147 or above I'd favour Miguel too.

    I'm not saying Cotto would lose that fight-- but that risk-to-reward ratio sucks.

    Risk like that-- he may as well rematch Margarito or Pacman and really cash in. Not risk losing to Khan for no money.

    At 140-147? Khan outboxes him as long as he doesn't get clipped.

    at 140 yes because Cotto right now would die from making weight but 147? Come on. :bart
     
  9. I'm guessing you don't like Amir Khan very much.

    Would be a good fight. I'm gonna say Khan. It would boil down into a jab contest, and I think Khan has the advantage in that.

    either Cotto by glassjawbreak KO or Khan by TKO/UD

    No at 147 he could do the same as long as he doesn't get clipped

    I can't see Khan taking any big flush shot from Cotto very well or his body shots but at the same time I can't really say as Khan hasn't been tested since he's been with Roach.

    They'd share the early rounds before Cotto stops him around the the 7th.

    Cotto is not the same anymore, last night i was not impressed.

    Cotto has a big flaw in his game, slow footwork/movement around ring, he finds it really hard to cut off the ring. Also Manny showed he does not deal with fast handspeed to well.

    Khan can outbox him at range using fast hands, fast feet/movement at 140.

    cotto's footwork/movement was the best thing about him last night. he was actually keeping up with foreman in the 6th there, and cut the ring fairly well all night
