Nah, I think Khan could take Berto. Berto's only punch really is his right hand. I can guarantee working with Freddie Roach would neutralize that. Plus I think Khan has the power to even KO Berto, he's got the fast hands to. Berto's more of an accumulation puncher rather than one shot KO. Plus Berto needs a fighter who will stand in front of him and trade. Khan will be able to box him out. But then again, I'm not even taking weight classes into consideration, so take this post with a grain of salt.
berto bodies and bullies the frail khan and knocks him out. i dont think khan could handle the physicality.
That's what I saw in the Urango fight. Just watch the HBO highlights and you'll see what I mean. When he throws one punch he'll move out slickly, but he looks pretty careless in his combinations. He wasn't even setting them up or looking for openings. He just threw them out of nowhere and then jumped out afterwards. His speed allowed him to do it without taking to much damage, but against a guy like Berto he can be caught before he pulls out with the right timing, and he won't see the punch coming so it'll be dangerous.
alexander doesnt look careless at all. he fires sharp combinations or pumps his jab and is out the side door. berto needs a stationary target and his footwork/ability to fight off angles is garbage.
it'd look like calzaghe/lacy.
alexander doesnt stay on the inside much. he uses sharp angles and turns his opponent. even if he does wtf is berto gonna do? hold him? alexander turns berto all night and makes him look foolish.

alexander outboxes berto, but it would be a really tough fight cause berto is about 160 lbs on fight night. alexander is better off at 140 lbs.
berto came in lightest he over been tonight 153 1/2
thats how mediocre a fighter he really is. i'd favor most of the top flight 140 lbers over him...except for khan. berto would kill khan.

I'd go with Alexander. I think he's a bit more consistent, he's going to do his thing for 3 minutes every round and I think he'd outbox and out manuever Berto.
Alexander by UD
I'd favor Berto. Alexander stays on the inside too long. He'll go in, stay still and throw a combination and then pull out. That would be a death wish against someone like Berto. I also like how he adjusts later on in the fights. Quintana was controlling the early rounds, but he adjusted in the mid rounds and went for the kill. This was a much better Berto than the one we say in the Collazo and Urango fights.
And triangle theories don't work. I can bring up at least 5 situations to prove that. And did Berto even land an uppercut against Urango? If he did then it wasn't clean because a clean one would have dropped him for sure.

I know triangle theories don't always work but in the absence of other data it's all that we have to go by...so you gotta admit it's a bit intriguing that alexander destroyed urango like that
alexander outboxes berto, but it would be a really tough fight cause berto is about 160 lbs on fight night. alexander is better off at 140 lbs.
what you talking about berto was like 152lbs tonight that means alexander must be weighing near that even at 140.

P4P Alexander is better. However, Berto could never make 140 and I don't know how Alexander would preform at 147. I'm gonna guess Alexander gets the UD.
