Khan > Rosado, Clottey, Lemieux

I understand what you're saying completely - there's a LOT of factors against Khan. BUT he's better than both Rosado & Clottey, due to his assets of speed and movement I'd say he definitely has a better chance to beat Canelo than the former two as he possesses the assets which Canelo generally struggles with. I think he was poor against Algeri because he was struggling to make weight and possibly underestimated him, also Algeri is a very good fighter people just focus on his peformance against Pacquiao. And just from a business point of view the fight makes sense for GBP & Canelo. Rosado, Clottey & Monroe bring nothing to the table financially. Khan has a huge fan base and everyone is lapping the fight up barring sections of hardcore fans who due to attitudes they're showing in response to this fight put people off boxing! If Canelo wins its not a huge wins by any means, but it's a decent win. If Khan wins, well there's nothing to say really! I'll agree that Khan has a better chance than Rosado or Clottely but that doesn't mean much. However he also has a much much higher chance of getting KTFO. I also agree that Algeri's better than people give him credit for, but his power is properly rated as low IMO. It's not the fact that the fight was close that I had a problem with but rather Khan's ability to take his punches. If Algeri can rock Khan than Canelo could end him with ease.

Khan is too small for middleweight.

They would have been great fights. But yes, I agree with your premise, too big a risk for too low a reward especially with a GGG fight looming. This is meant to be an easyish showcase fight for Canelo. I see, I wonder what he will do next. I see this khan fight as a desperation for golden boy, they cant afford a canelo loss at this point, im of the opinion that canelo has reached his peak. hes a really good fighter but he hasn't really beat any top in his divison with a "Stamp" on it. he wins but there hasn't been an decisive win vs a top name, I was at the trout fight and it was a draw IMO but the KD got him the win. I wonder if he needs a new trainer to take it to the next level or has he reached his peak n this is as good as he will get. He would beat the charlo twins but have trouble, Andrade will be very close. I think he avoids them all the way I don't see them happening

You can spin it as you like but this fight remains ****e. Rosado? Clottey?, leave that be Saul should be fighting GGG.

It's not just the weight. There's so many factors going against Khan. Yes he's basically only jumping one weight class, but Canelo drains himself to make that weight class. And yes, Khan's chin is a big factor in me totally ruling him out. He was getting rocked by freaking Algeri!!! And to top it all off one of my favorite things about Khan is that his natural reaction to getting rocked is to fight back, but that's not going to help him. There are so many factors that make this a total mismatch. I understand what you're saying completely - there's a LOT of factors against Khan.

But now you're just exaggerating. It's not that big of a jump as people are making up. It's only one pound above the junior middleweight limit. Khan is a big welterweight and his walking weight is 153. It's not as big a jump as people are making out. People are letting their view of Khans below average punch reinsure be cloud their judgement. It's not just the weight. There's so many factors going against Khan.

Roman Gonzalez is a better fighter than Deontay Wilder, doesn't mean he'd have a better chance against Fury. Sh1tting on this fight doesn't make you a hater, being okay with this fight makes you beyond a nuthugger. But now you're just exaggerating. It's not that big of a jump as people are making up.

how about Andrade, or the charlo twins? too big of a risk with less reward? They would have been great fights. But yes, I agree with your premise, too big a risk for too low a reward especially with a GGG fight looming. This is meant to be an easyish showcase fight for Canelo.

Skill wise i say yes but not at this weight

I understand people are hating on this fight because Khan is way smaller than Canelo and people see it as being a mismatch because of the difference in sizes which is compounded by Khans shaky chin. However, this fight for Canelo, is better than fighting Rosado, Clottey or Lemeiux. It's better than fighting any MW out there right now barring Jacobs, BJS or GGG. This is because Khan is way more skilled than the former 3, he's got assets which could really trouble Canelo - he's got the fastest hands in the boxing world right now and of course Khan is a former two weight world champion. Khan is a way better name to have on Canelo's resume than the former 3 he was supposedly going to fight despite the weight discrepancies as Khan is a much more accomplished and talented fighter. The only thing that's really going against Khan in this fight is his chin. Khan is a much bigger threat than people are giving him credit for, but I do of course accept Canelo is a heavy heavy favourite as he would have been again h the former 3. This fight is much more fan friendly especially for the casuals and it's a £ fight and fight which it seems Canelo would like to showcase his power. Overall, it's not as bad a fight as some of you guys are making our. Give some credit to Khan for his heart and give some credit to Canelo for fighting another livewire and not someone washed up like Rosado or Clottley especially seeing the run of fighters he's taken on. Prediction: Canelo by brutal KO. But Khan has the ability to eek out a decision. how about Andrade, or the charlo twins? too big of a risk with less reward?

Prediction: Canelo by brutal KO. But Khan has the ability to eek out a decision. He's a better opponent because technically this is a stay busy fight before GGG. So if you're going to have a gimme fight, might as well make money doing it. Khan will sell, the others simply would not.

All those guys stop Khan in 5 or less..since when is picking an opponent from 2 weight classes down good? Neither Rosado or Clottley have the skills to beat Khan. He would win both those fights by UD as long as he used his brain. And again, I never said he would beat Lemieux - I said it's a better fight than Lemieux at this moment in time. Technically it's two weight classes but in reality it isn't, the fight is at 155, one pound above junior middle weight which is one weight class above Khan. Anyhow, Khan said his walking weight is 153 and he's a big welterweight too. It's just a shame the likes of Mayweather, chose Maidana twice and Berto over Khan, and Pacquiao, chose Bradley and blamed HBO, decided to duck Khan.

I'm not saying Khan would beat Lemieux - he would however outbox Clottley & Rosado, I'm saying its a better fight than Lemeiux as of right now because Lemeiux is coming off a loss. Let Lemeiux get a win or two then I think they'll fight. Invariably, most of the "hardcore" fans hating on this fight are the people who hate on Canelo no matter what he does. He could fight GGG and you'd say he was forced into it ect. There's no winning when a certain drone of fans constantly critiques a boxer. That's the problem with boxing fans - they find it hard to remain objective.

I agree with you. Canelo is a prize fighter and Khan is a huge payday Canelo has ever right to accept this fight. Khan asked for the fight so why the hell should Canelo turn it down? Khan is a better opponent than the guys they were talking about Canelo fighting. Clottey was never in the running to fight Canelo but Rosado was. I think most of the guys b*tching about this fight are Canelo haters and they would b*tch at him no matter who he was going to fight. Khan has matured into a big welterweight and he said he expects to weigh about 165 pounds on fight night while Canelo should be about 170 on fight night as usual. This fight wlll be a big seller and both boxers will make lots of money. Dude just stop. Pretty much everyone is ****ting on this fight. He had several options that could of made him a **** load of money and not made him the laughing stock of boxing.

Rosado and clottey would not beat khan at any weight Not anymore, but prime Clottey might beat Khan.

David Lemieux might literally take Khan's head off, and Khan has no chance unless it's fixed.
