I agree with Cotto being able to make 147 pretty easily still, he's not that big of a 154pounder anyway.
Cotto is a notch above Khan, for several reasons. A couple posters alluded to the fact that this fight stylistically favors Miguel if he turns into the pressure fighter....but I think this fight favors Miguel however you slice it. He doesn't get enough credit for being a very very solid boxer. Especially under Diaz.
Yeah, he's vulnerable, but so is Khan. Cottos footwork, jab (when he decides to implement it), mid-distance game are all very good. The only thing Cotto doesn't know how to do is fight on his backfoot, but what are the chances of Khan putting Cotto on his backfoot anyway?
Khan has a speed advantage. but if we learned anything from the Judah, Mosley, etc. fights is that Miguel deals with faster fighters pretty well
Cotto by UD or late stoppage.
