    Default Khan interested in fighting Cotto.

    Khan posted on twitter that he'd fight Cotto at 155 lbs in a heartbeat.

    Who would win?

    I would be surprised it happens and Cotto should be favourite. Khan has height and reach as well as speed but do not think he could hurt Cotto.

    Interesting fight but not their first choices and loads of their preferred fights must have fallen through if they did fight one another. Plan D for both fighters.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Khan hasn't really done anything at welter and he thinks he's gonna be able to jump to middleweight? lol he beat Alexander who lost to Porter before that, his chin didn't hold up at 140 against someone who could bang, does he really think it'll hold up 2 divisions north against fighters with more power?

    For real? How bizarre. At WW it would make a lot of sense as I don't think Cotto with his height and build is bigger than that, but Khan above WW already? He is being a bit silly and is liable to be posing in his underwear at any moment. There are a lot of good fights for Khan to make at WW and he should stay there. He should try and rematch Garcia for a start. He should avoid Manny though as he might look good for a bit, but that chin is not going to hold up. Khan probably beats Mayweather though!

    He might get chinned by Cotto but it would be funny as hell if Floyd decided not to fight Manny and Khan already had plan B in Cotto tied to.a deal :-)

    exactly, there are plenty of good sellable fights for him at 147, as you said a rematch against Garcia, a fight with Thurman, Porter, Bradley, Chaves (who looked good against Bradley), Rios, Broner, Algieri, Provodnikov, Matthysse, even a rematch against Madiana or a fight against Marquez

    he has options, but he needs to steer clear from anything north of welter and from Pac or May

    Why not? I think it would be a terrific fight. Khan probably has to cut a lot of weight to even make 147 with his frame and probably walks around at 170. Cotto's nothing but a chubby welter so its really a non issue. Hearns made the transition, Tito etc. There is no rule that says you have to have x amount of fights before moving up. Its 7/8 pounds. Its a yoyo sport.

    I agree with you Cotto was already small at 154 and khan is bigger then he is I'd actually probably pick Khan to win if he can keep Cotto at a distance. It'd be a good fight.

    He should stay at 147 where he can make the weight fine

    Cotto weighed 155 against Martinez, he's not a middleweight (Is there anyone on earth that doesn't think GGG would slaughter him?).

    At a 155 catchweight I doubt there would be much weight difference on the night. Khan would have a height and reach advantage. Speed advantage (lol). Youth.

    Why again is this a joke fight? I'd back Khan to win.

    Yes, I'm hot on the trail of a big Power Ball pay off right now! By Godfrey, oh dear, and by golly!!!!
    One of the first things I'm going to do is throw a huge party for Saddo Boxing in Vegas!
    Alcohol, women, and some set down discussions with famous fighters!
    It's going to be great!!! Lol
