Olympic medalist, Canelo learned on the fly in the pros. Khan was already a multiple weight world champion when Canelo finally stepped upto world level as a pro which wasn't actually all that long ago.
Khan has had treble or more fights on the world stage on top of a lengthy amateur career.
Canelo doesn't even have a jab.
Khan is the better athlete and has displayed his boxing ability against a variety of styles. Canelo is a good fighter but he is rather limited and you can really see his boxing ability or lack of when he doesn't have a static target. I think he is a good but rather one dimensional fighter. Bit Marquez esque IMO not good on the front foot.
If Khan can avoid the big shot I see him outboxing Canelo. Freezing him with his handspeed and combinations and constantly turning him. Canelo needs to set his feet.
The power worries me coupled with Khans inability to take a shot, not so much the size but take that power away for me he is rather made for Amir stylistically.
I really do wish I was as confident as others but I just see a punchers chance personally I don't think he can outbox Amir, not even close.
