Khan interested in fighting Cotto.

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.

You answered my question before I could ask it: and probably walks around at 170
