    and retire
    Why you care what another man earns?

    It's a total mismatch IMO

    Cotto will cut off the ring and ko him if he lands. Khan can't take a shot from cotto. Cotto doesn't telegraph his punches like he used to .

      Every boxer deserves to retire rich and happy.

      This is a brutal sport.

It'll be another match-up where Khan should win and look good, but the fact that he still looks uncomfortable under pressure will make for a close fight. I think Guerrero has enough dog in him to make it close.
        That would be good but I would have Guerrero to beat him .Like Algieri , Guerrero would be on him all the time with better pressure and a little more pop, also the knowledge that Khan can't hurt him.G' may even clip him for an early finish.

          It's easy to see through it. Even Bradley says he would like to fight Cotto. WHO WOULDN'T LIKE TO FIGHT THE BIGGEST NAMES? It's guaranteed $$$. If Khan wanted to prove something, he would be fighting Thurman next, a dangerous contender who doesn't bring a lot of money. Of course he wouldn't do that. Khan is just playing the waiting game and hoping he gets cherry-picked by Floyd. Khan is one of the biggest problems with the WW division.

            Khan ' s only mentioning Cotto because he knows Cotto is committed. Cotto has Geale, Canelo and GGG so when does Khan want to fight him? Why not call out Thurman who is free and is easy to make?

                Imo Cotto knocks Khan out with the same wide left-handed punches he landed on Manny.
                I'd give Khan a 5% chance against Cotto, but he has 0% chance against Canelo. Not a single hope.

                Canelo has improved with each passing fight and would brutalize Khan the way he did Lopez. Canelo is a great offensive fighter with huge power and massive size...I'd genuinely be fearful for Khan in that fight. It won't happen and it shouldn't be allowed to anyway.

                  Are you that easily fooled?Khan has no intention of fighting Cotto. He knows Cotto isn't available with Geale, Canelo, Mayweather and GGG all waiting for him. When do you think Cotto would fight Amir? When Cotto is 43?

                    This is what I hate about khan. Instead of taking on all comers and actually challenging himself, it seems hes just like cotto and just wants opponents that suit him stylistically. All this time he chased mayweather and when people brought pacquiao up he would say the same thing, that stylistically he'd rather face mayweather. He knows pacquiao would knock him out, and canelo would also knock him out. Al haymon is the scourge of boxing, hes the mastermind behind all these fighters carefully choosing opponents. That's why I love top rank/hbo. Bob arum has no problem throwing his young pups into the lions den.

                      You must be ******ed... Did you see what Aligieri did to Khan? That was Algieri's first fight ever being the aggressor and he almost beat Khan FFS. Cotto would push Khan **** it from before Ramadan, it would be ugly and messy and I hope it happens. I love seeing Khan put to sleep.
