    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.

        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.

            Khan stops Berto.. Too skillfull, way too fast, and has enough power too.. Khan's way to fast, and I'd say he beats Alexander in a close SD

                berto bodies and bullies the frail khan and knocks him out. i dont think khan could handle the physicality.

                  yeah, in terms of boxing skill, alexander's leaps and bounds above berto.
