WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan says Manny Pacquiao's combination of speed, power and movement will beat WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Khan and Pacquiao are both trained under Freddie Roach and have sparred often. He doesn't deny that Cotto will be a very tough fight for Pacquiao.
"It's going to be a tough fight for Manny. I trained alongside Manny and I'm on his side. I really think that he can go in this fight and take Cotto out. It's a tough job but I'm sure he will do it," Khan said to BoxingScene.com's Luis Sandoval.
"[I think the keys to the fight are] speed, footwork and angles. I don't think Cotto has ever met someone like Manny who hits and moves and is so quick and explosive. People forget that Manny is quick but he is also hard-hitting."
