    Khans legs are just terrible, reminds me a bit of Cotto.

    Khan also throws himself off balance when he punches.

    In a way yes, but Khan never has had the power that Cotto has. Cotto was less durable at 40 but always found a way due to his power.

    Good point, and Thurman many times capitalizes on fighters who are off balance by going to the side and throwing a heavy shot against his opponents momentum. If he can do that against Khan it's over imo.

    Yea Cotto is definitely a far better fighter than Khan. I was just comparing them because they both react to getting hit horrendously and go all over the place.

    Yeah I got you. I agree. But Cotto can bounce back after a hit in much better fashion than Khan.
