The chin only deteriorates with a still very sharp puncher as does the instinct-need to stand your ground when a guy walks through your own.
It is desperate, he's trying to get Floyds attention through the fans. A win over Cotto might get the fans excited about a Khan vs Floyd fight.
The three guys who have given Cotto bad nights (I'm not counting Margarito) are Trout, Floyd, and Manny which are all speedy boxers like Khan. I think the new Khan (the Khan we saw against Collazo and Alexander) will give Cotto fits. That's why I pick Khan if the fight happens.
Am I saying Khan is on the same level as Manny, Floyd, or Trout? No! I'm saying his speed and newfound focus will get him past Cotto.
Cotto would only need to land one left hook to Khan's chin to knock him out.

Cotto can also cut off the ring, has a good jab, and has great timing, which can negate Khan's speed.
