Why Khan beats Canelo (Detailed Breakdown Inside, Styles Makes Fights!)

How does weight gain give u a better chin More blood flow to the brain, carrying glucose and oxygen for ATP synthesis to realign positively charged ions along to cell membrane to create an action potential signal pathway.

Algieri was countering his ass easily. Every right hand was rocking Khan. Just crazy. And won a whole 3 rounds. He slightly stunned Khan once in the 1st round that's it.

How does weight gain give u a better chin

Everywhere I look people are saying Khan has no chance, but remember they also said "Pac would get killed by Oscar" and "Cotto had no chance vs Sergio." Here are the reasons why Khan will beat Canelo on May 7th in decisive fashion, and shock the entire world! 1). Speed/Reach- The first reason is the most obvious: Speed kills. Amir has a significant hand and foot speed advantage over Canelo as well as longer reach. This will allow him to jump in and out with lightning flurries, score points, and win rounds while moving around the ring. At his best, Khan's speed made Devon (a fast fighter himself) look like a stationary punching bag for 12 rounds. Canelo has power, but he does not have the foot speed and athleticism to keep up with Khan, who is far faster than anyone he has ever seen (even Floyd). 2). Skill/Amateur Pedigree- As an amateur, Khan was an Olympic Silver Medalist (better than Cotto/Lara and equal to GGG), and furthermore, Khan achieved this at the mere age of 17! This speaks volumes of Khan's level of talent! Compare that to Canelo who barely had an amateur career, lol. At the top level the lack of amateur experience will catch up to Canelo (it already has in the Mayweather fight). Khan's amateur background and talent/skill combined with his height/reach will give him the timing and sense of distance he needs to implement his speed and strategy against Canelo. 3). Styles- Khan has trouble with awkward fighters who hits him with shots he doesn't see, he was iced by crazy hayemakers by Prescott, and got caught with an eyes-closed wild-ass thumb hook by Garcia which landed on the back of his neck. Problem is, Canelo is a textbook fighters who doesn't throw those kinds of punches in those weird angles. Canelo is technically sound and powerful, but he is predictable and orthodox. (hence why Floyd had an easier time with him than he did with Maidana). I believe Canelo's orthodox style and angles plays into Khan's hands, and if this turns into a boxing match, Khan will box his ears off due to his superior speed/reach/amateur background. Also, Canelo only fights in spurts, so even if he wobbles Khan he will not be able to keep up the pressure necessary to stop Khan (who will be running around the ring). 4). Chin- Yes I know, the elephant in the room is Khan's "glass chin." But Khan himself has said that his bad chin in the past has mainly been due to him starving himself to death to make weight and taking his opponents lightly. Khan is a tall lengthy guy (taller than Canelo) and has a huge frame. I believe Khan will fit right into 155, and if he no longer has to starve himself to make weight, his chin/legs will no longer be weakened. At 155 with muscles added from the right conditioning I believe Khan will finally truly be at 100 percent strength, and will be able to unleash his full potential. Canelo, on the other hand, is struggling to even make 155. Khan knows Canelo's power and for sure won't take him lightly, he will be at the very top of his game. 5) Power- Canelo is the stronger guy, no arguments here. But Khan isn't a pillow-puncher himself, he viciously stopped Barrera, younger Paulie, and Judah. He dropped Maidana with a body shot (which Floyd/Broner failed to do) and dropped Collazo several times (which Thurman failed to do). Khan has dynamite in his fists, and this combined with his speed/skills makes him extremely dangerous, especially at 155 where he won't be drained. Styles makes fights and Khan at the top of his game is all wrong for a guy like Canelo (slow-footed orthodox fighter who fights in spurts). IMO Maidana was a more dangerous fight than Canelo due to his unrelenting pressure, and yet Khan survived Maidana's entire onslaught! My prediction for the fight- An extremely-focused Amir Khan puts on a virtuoso performance over 12 rounds that causes everyone's jaws to drop. He will have a few scary moments and may be wobbled a few times, but ultimately will come out with a hard-fought but decisive decision win over Canelo that will have the crowd on its toes, and show the world how great he really is! all this goes to the drain the moment canelo breaths in front of khan, joke of a fight...

i respect khan for this, but the only reason he gets pass the first round is because canelo decided to carry him.

I was thinking the same ting....Khan has a good chance and his style is all wrong for a natural counterpuncher....look at what he did to Judah, Alexander and others....Canel0o has a size and power advantage...thats pretty much where it ends

The only way I think Khan can win this fight is by getting back with Freddie. Pull out the performance he had vs Maidana surprising everyone with his new found Iron chin.

Canelo will destroy Khan. Canelo was boxing with Cotto, The kid has gotten alot better, I am not sold on Canelo, I dont think he will ever be great, but he is very good, and he is big, has a solid chin, and keeps improving. Khan has not changed anything since he got KO'ed by Garcia, he still leaves himself open after exchanges, he is going to run right into Canelo's wheel house and get put to sleep.

This is just awful. So you want someone getting hurt simply cause people on the internet talk about him? cry baby bro, let it out.

If Khan comes in at, say 165 he will gas by the 5/6 round. The only hope he has is to hit and run, without his (overrated) speed he simply wont be able to do it for 12 rounds. Lara DID, but Lara had 2 advantages over Khan, he was more natural at the weight and a southpaw - it was easier for him to turn Canelo off balance. Finally Khan can't help but get drawn into exchanges of fire, Canelo is a concussive puncher and will have the final say in any type of toe-toe exchange. Khan has not faced a puncher in years, now he is going in with a hard hitter who is younger, fought better opposition and 10-15 lbs heavier. It is crazy to suggest Khan can out box Canelo for 36 minutes at this weight.

This is a silly fight, Khan has had 4 fights as a Welterweight and has shown he lacks power to stop his opponents while also demonstrating the same frailties he has shown throughout his career. For goodness sake he struggled against Chris Algieri. Now he wants to jump 2 weights to fight someone who will likely be a lot heavier than 155. Speed alone wont keep Canelo off of him and he doesn't have the best footwork or defense so i'm not sure how he could possibly win this fight. Canelo and GB are a joke for making this fight. I dont even like Khan but it would be hilarious if he won, props to him for taking this fight

I've been doing a lot of night shifts recently and thought maybe I had imagined that this fight was happening, threads like this make me think that my brain is making all this crap up. No. Khan stands pretty much zero chance of beating Canelo at 155lbs. If he wins we would be looking at one of the biggest upsets ever at the top level of boxing IMO. Khan has not shown anything that suggests he can do a 'Floyd' on Canelo. His foot and hand speed means very little when you know that Khan doesnt have the intelligence to apply it properly. His reach 'advantage' means very little when you know Khan is terrible at judging range and he has no timing Canelo isnt a 'pressure fighter'. But he forced Lara to run like Haile Gabriel Selassie to avoid his shots. He isnt Mayweather, but he is a good counter puncher who will surely be able to time Khan when he's throwing his 6 punch powder puff flurries. He isnt a huge puncher, but he punches plenty hard enough to put Khan out for the count. Maybe Khan can cause him some problems early on, maybe, but this is literally a matter of time. Full credit to Khan for taking this fight, but he's getting KO'd. Any other prediction is fanboyism IMO. F/ck Canelo for this fight though. I used to hate the guy when he was coming up getting vacant title shots vs the likes of Ryan Rhodes, and defending vs Matt Hatton. But he made me a fan recently taking mostly good fights like Trout, Mayweather, Lara, Kirkland, Angulo and Cotto. This fight is a return to the old Canelo, bringing up smaller opponents (who arent even that good) to take a beating.

Props to him for taking this fight, but Khan has no chance whatsoever, stop fooling yourself. This fight is a total farce, Canelo and Oscar can suck a dick. how this fact is lost on people is almost impressive. thing is this, a majority of brit fans save for like jaz / anorak are objective. when khan loses this fight in devastating fashion, the talk will be how khan won the early round(s) and then something (a punch) happened which lost the fight for khan but if that something (punch) didn't happen we'd be having a different discussion. brit fight fans are like the sassy black girls of boxing.

This is just awful. So you want someone getting hurt simply cause people on the internet talk about him? Wherever I discuss boxing, I already admitted to having my issues so hey :lol1:

Canelo has fought Mosley, Floyd, Lara in short he has been in with a lot of fast guys and guys who know what they're doing with it. Cotto is no slouch either and will Khan even be fast at 155? I didn't think he looked fast against Algieri myself. Khan doesn't have the chin, defense or ring I.Q Like most high end amateurs he has an awful tendency of slowing down after 3-4 rounds nevermind at 155 and against a big man who is a vicious bodypuncher. Peterson, Diaz & so on, look how easy he is to time after his predictable fast starts. This talk of his speed, Canelo might have slow feet but he has very fast hands himself and very good timing to accompany that. Timing beats speed. I see Khan getting badly beaten, like real badly, seems a no brainer to me but for what its worth I do think it might stylistically favour him a little more than Brook.

Well said on the bold and he has horrible reactive speed, he tends to freeze up in a defensive shell when punches start flying. Benny, this is why I like this fight. I admit I have my issues but Khan needs to get put away, it's annoying that people talk about him this much when his skills or lack thereof doesn't warrant it. This is just awful. So you want someone getting hurt simply cause people on the internet talk about him?

The force from one of Canelo's missing punch will knock Khan out........

Speed doesnt matter that much if you dont know how to use it. Speed alone doesnt equal skill. Khan has terrible footwork, no matter 'fast' his feet. His positioning and balance are awful. Having faster hands and feet doesnt matter if you dont know how to use it to put the slower fighter at a disadvantage. So, while Canelo might be slower, his technique and skill is better than Khan's and his better footwork will allow him to be in position when Khan comes leaping in throwing his flurries, reaching and off balance. Faster footwork does not equal better footwork. Well said on the bold and he has horrible reactive speed, he tends to freeze up in a defensive shell when punches start flying. Benny, this is why I like this fight. I admit I have my issues but Khan needs to get put away, it's annoying that people talk about him this much when his skills or lack thereof doesn't warrant it.

Speed is irrelevant considering Khan doesn't change up his speed, far lesser fighters than Canelo have been able to time him as a result of that. On top of that, Khan is an arm puncher, Mayweather not only has better reach than Khan, he has better hand speed when throwing singular shots and far more variation to his offense. You brought up how Khan struggles with awkward fighters, Danny Garcia is anything but that, neither is Lamont Peterson and I can also include Julio Diaz or Algieri who Khan barely managed to get by. Khan will lose because the idiot has no upper body movement, stands too straight up, moves in straight lines, doesn't change up his speed, throws the same repetitive combinations and his high guard always seems to leave a wide enough gap to get anything through. I don't even need to mention his chin or how he's physically inferior in this fight because even if he possessed those tools, he'd still take a beating. The guy doesn't have much of a ring IQ, that's been on display in the pros so who gives a fuck about his amateur pedigree? Pretty much this.

I hope khan does beat him, im 99% sure he will get his ass handed to him by the fourth round but I'm tired of seeing this kind of ****. I use to like Canelo but the 155lb cw crap he is trying to impose on everyone was enough to leave a sour taste and now he pulls a welter weight up with a name and a following to fleece the fans. I don't even like Khan and have never thought much of him but I hope he has the greatest performance in the history of boxing may 7th. Canelo can butt a stump.
