Outside of starpower and the money a fight with Khan brings this match up still makes me scratch my head. I mean its not like Canelo is any of these other fighters that never had or don't have big money fights available. Canelo never been the pay me what I deserve type of fighter. Maybe its because he never had to with him being a draw. Either way, he's been in tougher fights (Trout and Lara) that paid out way less.
I figured he would use his May fight to prepare himself for the move up to 160 and the type of style GGG would bring. This fight does neither. And it wouldn't make sense just to jump in that fight against GGG without preparing. GGG's too good to do that.
Do you guys think he's specifically using Khan to prepare himself for a fighter with similar skill sets (speed, activity, footwork). Possibly Pac-Bradley winner? Maybe bait Floyd out of retirement for a lucrative rematch for fight #50 for lineal MW championship?
