Canelo vs Khan inevitable tragedy

I think it'll be more brutal than the Kirkland ko. And guys like fat Dan are celebrating this fight. Shameful Kirkland went in that fight like a total moron trying to trade with him. Saul is not fast and a suprior boxing could beat him on points in theory but Golden Boy promotions gives 2 of the 3 judges prefilled scoring cards so it probably won't happen

Khan has one of the best resumes in boxing, if you only look at wins. Keep underestimating him.

I saw my favourite fighter in Gamboa jump multiple weight classes to fight Crawford; it's not a great idea. Gamboa was the better and faster fight, but ultimately the huge size difference decided the outcome. In this case, the much bigger fighter is also the much better fighter. It's a recipe for a savage beating.

khan's fragile chin might save his life. one punch and it's all over, he won't take more unnecessary punishment.

Skills wise Khan is one of the top 2-3 guys Canelo has fought in his career...it's just the size difference and that shaky chin that could doom him...but you never know, we've seen smaller guys beat less skilled big men before... Yes, all things considered, it is not "a shameful mismatch".

- I think he will last longer than Kirkland, because he does have great hand speed, and boxes much better than Kirkland. But I dont see the fight going past 5 rds. Canelo will eventually land something big.

People are making way too big of a deal over this. Yeah, Khan has balls for taking the fight and he'll almost certainly get knocked out, but there isn't gonna be any kind of "tragedy" in the ring. The weight discrepancies aren't that big of a deal.

The la k of objectivity serves to vindicate claims of racism being present in the sport. People are just turning a blind eye to this mismatch when the world is expected from guys like Mayweather, Ward and Broner. Lol, gtfoh. I'll just assume this is a bad troll. There are people all over social media poo pooing on this fight.

If canelo says Pakistanis can't fight like Garcia said then khan could be in trouble! Don't be too bravado khan Because Khan has the nuts to fight a much bigger man, and as a fight fan, lover of boxing... I will be hoping Khan produces a miracle win. War Khan! If Canelo, Ward, etc don't show Khan sized nuts then they are cherry picking Divas.

These are the type of threads that were being made before Khan-Maidana. I laughed then. This isn't David vs Goliath guys, you will see when they step in the ring. Khan has had massive trouble making weight throughout his career, he just doesn't make a big deal out of it because he is professional. Anyone who has followed his career could tell he looked overtrained/weight drained in the Algieri fight. That happens for two reasons, first one is that he is just starting to struggle to make the weight and has outgrown the division, or he got down to the weight too early. Its impossible for us to say, but maybe it was the former, so they made a calculated decision. Now going up and facing the best fighter in the division above is obviously risky, but don't be so quick to write Khan off. He doesn't have any disadvantage when it comes to both fighters dimensions (height, reach) in fact he is a good bit taller and a 1 inch reach advantage. When has he failed to deliver when his back has been up against the wall? Say what you want about Khan but he has the mentality of a winner and he does very well stylistically against thinking fighters. I like the match up - I find it intriguing. What happens if Canelo lands some good counters and Khan is still there after a few rounds doing well? The mistake I see lots of you make when analysing a fight like this is just assuming "he will land something big eventually", to properly analyse this fight you have to also consider the possibility both guys are still on there feet in the last 3 rounds. If that is the case what kind of fight do you see? I see a very competitive one. I see Canelo taking some rounds when he puts it on Khan gets him on the ropes landing good single counters, in other rounds I also see Khan landing his jab, buzzing around the outside using the ring and outworking Canelo, and dare I see lighting him up. I can see that happening in spots. The main thing that gives Khan a chance is that Canelo is not an effective pressure fighter. He is too much of a thinker to throw caution to the wind, its not in his nature. He is not natural at moving forward and throwing punches on the inside, in fact most often when he fights on the inside it is when he has his own back on the ropes. He has a nice uppercut on the inside, otherwise his technique is better served on the outside. I am really not sure about this fight, I think the weight factor is hard to measure at the moment. I will not make my prediction on this fight yet, still too fresh to make a prediction. But when it was announced my initial reaction was not "what a mismatch." Canelo is definitely the fav on paper, no doubt about it. But write Khan off at your apparel, I think at the very least he has a chance to pull of an upset. Goldenboy are not known to be the most shrewd matchmakers for there fighters, have they made another mistake here?

Mayweather, Cotto, Lara. 3 easily off the top of my head that are more skilled than Khan. Alvarez is also much, much more skilled than Khan. This is not a case of a smaller but better fighter moving up to fight a big guy. Yeah and in 2 of those 3 he looked like azz.....

Ppl are ok with this farse bc they dislike Khan and like Canelo. Cliff was the only one calling this bs yesterday.

This is really dangerous. Hopefully Alvarez doesn't try to draw it out any longer than necessary to make it look better than it is. Terrible fight in every way but the name factor.
