Gatti from the Dorin fight (trained by Buddy McGirt) vs Khan from the Maidana bout (trained by Freddie Roach).

Fight takes places at Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City - Gatti's fortress, so to speak.

140bs, 12 rounds.

Who wins?

I like Khan in this one-on points.

I can't believe that my favorite fighter couldn't find a way to get to the chin of one of the chinnier guys of his era. I'm pulling for Gatti to land the miracle come from behind KO in 8 or 9 rounds.

This.
Like he did against Rodriguez and Ruelas. Gatti will get picked apart, will have swollen eyes and will explode a lethal left hook on a confident, but always vulnerable Khan.

Khan for me.

khan would light him up, but gatti is live to pull off a comeback ko. i would still favour khan to win by accumulation/cuts -swelling tko or decision though
