    Berto has some serious stamina issues and with the pace Khan sets, he will be hitting him at will late on.

    Berto doesn't hit as hard as Maidana and can't apply the pressure like Maidana.

    There is no way Berto is out boxing Khan.

      its a bad matchup for khan imo. id go as far as to say that khan is the better boxer by far, but his deficiencies play rite into the strengths of berto. first of all, he doesnt have the power or then footwork to keep berto off of him imo. secondly his chin will get tested by someone with berto's speed and berto does have handspeed if he has anything. bertos also naturally bigger and he likes to get into those sloppy, gritty wars of atrition. something khan does not at all like nor does he know how to combat. much more dangerous than the maidana fight for khan.

        Would be an interesting fight and would allow Khan to test the waters at 147 also giving him a chance to win a title in the process
        I agree bro would love for this fight to happen!

          Berto's not really a pressure fighter though, and doesn't throw a ton. Khan would get off first all night. Really, Berto is like Zab Judah, he's fast, he's tough, he has good power, but he simply isn't that good. He can beat certain guys, but never someone like Khan or Ortiz.

            I would prefer to see the Khan vs Brook.

            Berto is very overrated still, a B class fighter. Ortiz not even a top 4 ranked light welter was able to step up to welter and beat Berto comfortably in his first outing at the weight.

              Berto struggles against southpaws.

              Khan aint a southpaw.

              Berto by KO.

                berto isnt a pressure fighter. what he is tho is a slugger and he has a very gritty and sloppy style. hes no judah, he makes no effort to box. hes actually closer to a marcos maidana than anything, but he has better physical gifts. khan may get off all night, but khan isnt that skilled of a boxer that hes able to keep a fast guy like berto off of him. even maidana got to him eventually. he gets hit with that shot ortiz took in the 6th, he doesnt get back up.

                  Khan would destroy Berto.

                  But yeah would be a good fight for him.

                    Berto is possibly worse.

                    Atleast Judah has some sort of style.

                      Hm, maybe. I just don't think Berto can hit Khan with that one shot, and at 147 Khan's chin will be even further removed from that Prescott fight.
