Yea most likely, Khan is predictable and Canelo is a good boxer. It may take Canelo a bit of time because he is a boxer, but eventually he will find Khan with something big because he is the better boxer of the two.

This is boxing.
After watching it for twenty years, honestly, you never know anything until the last bell rings.
Khan has speed on his side and many skills.
If he lands the right shot to the body, it's possible.

Khan just doesn't have the style to outbox Canelo. Aside from the few times he got caught in exchanges (Garcia), he gets hit more going backwards than coming forward. That's how guys like Peterson, Maidana and Algieri were able to win rounds. They just said screw boxing, I'm gonna bum rush this guy and out point him until something big lands. The difference is, now he'll be doing it against a bigger guy who boxes better than all 3 of them. Khan at his best is throwing combinations and out working his opponents. And well, we all know what will happen if he tries that against Canelo.
My prediction is Canelo KO7.

Boxing needs fights like this, shake things up, its good for the sport
It's certainly drawing in the casual fans though, who don't seem to fully grasp the size and style issues involved. I'm expecting it to draw a large audience.
Canelo is pretty brutal from a physical strength point of view, smaller guys are in for a rough fight. I can't shake what happened to Lopez, who tried his best but ultimately got bullied around and battered.

His technical skills and ring smarts leave a lot to be desired, to say the least.

His team seem to be yes men that tell him he can do anything, but when the night arrives and he feels the power...there's nowhere to go but the canvas.
If it goes to the scorecards, Khan most probably wins but most likely gets robbed. Canelo's main shot is to KO Khan, which is a possibility because he is a decent puncher and Khan is moving up 2 weight divisions fighting one of the best at the weight without taking a tune up.
