Khan will get possible career ending beat down at the hands of Canelo

Khan's already rich, worth around $30 million, roughly around the same as Canelo. Khan could retire right now, and he'd still be sorted for life. He doesn't need to take this fight. Just because someone is rich, it doesn't mean they don't want more money. Especially if their spending habits and lifestyles have changed since becoming rich. Of course money plays a factor in Khan's choice to fight Canelo, but I also think he thinks he'll win. It's not solely a cash-out fight, he'll put in an honest effort before getting knocked out.

Khan doesn't have the ring IQ, footwork, or defense to do what Floyd did.

He is cashing out, no doubt. He gets KO'd, Brook fight, retire. Khan's already rich, worth around $30 million, roughly around the same as Canelo. Khan could retire right now, and he'd still be sorted for life. He doesn't need to take this fight.

Khan's had a better career than expected, but he still falls WELL short of elite. then why did Mayweather duck him???

I will definitely bump this thread after the fight is over and Khan ends up victorious in that fight ..

Khan has shown time and time again he is just not that good (at the highest level of course, since we don't even talk about the bottom 98-99% quality fighters in the sport). He's a decent title-holder, at lower weights than Canelo. Khan's edge in footspeed gets negated by the fact that he has poor footwork and balance. His edge in hand speed gets negated by the fact that he is not good at mixing defense and offense. Actually, he is just poor defensively, period. His defense consists of a high guard and his legs. Khan's edge in workrate/stamina is negated by the fact that he will leave himself open for counters by throwing more, against a sharp counterpuncher. Pretty much all of Khan's strengths will be negated by his many technical, physical, and mental (ring IQ) weaknesses. Khan is not more skilled than Canelo, he is just faster. Canelo-Cotto was a good solid boxing match in which both fighters showed technical skills and maneuvers that Khan could only dream of doing. Or maybe something that Khan can do in practice, but won't be able to perform them in the ring for long because he'll get thrown off his game, as he often is. It won't take long for him to get flustered and resort to his instincts and bad habits once Canelo is able to hit him with some solid shots by timing and countering him. Canelo is bigger, better, and will beat Khan quite easily. Canelo will have to suffer a freakish injury for Khan to win.

Unless Khan doesn't really try to win by not planting his feet and throwing shots, Khan will get a career changing beating at the hands of Canelo, and I'm not even a Canelo fan. If your a Khan fan, this is a warning that he may never be the same after this fight. SMH, nah man Khan sees weaknesses in Canelo's game and he will be stronger at 155. Like he said, once his punches land, he will hurt Canelo; personally, I think we should all be worried for Canelo's well being. http://gifsec.com/wp-content/uploads/GIF/2014/03/-sarcastic-GIF.gif?gs=a

He is cashing out, no doubt. He gets KO'd, Brook fight, retire.

He obviously took this fight looking to cash out. Good chance he retires afterwards. That's why he's been chasing only the superstars. Big money to fight Brook in the UK, if what we all expect happens and he gets koed.

Khan doesn't have the chin to receive a career changing beating. He'll be knocked out before any permanent damage could set in. Margarito took a career changing beating from Pacquiao because he had the chin to get punched for 12 rounds. Khan didn't have that.

He'll be skipping out of the road too much on those bambi legs to receive a kirkland-like beating. He won't engage until Canelo catches him with a couple of crushing bodyshots, mid rounds I reckon, then he's ****ed!

Khan must fight like Kirkland if he wants to be successful. Thats the only chance he has.

Redd Foxx beat me to it: guys like Margarito get career ending beat downs, guys like Khan get knocked the **** out.

Not possible. A guy like Provod, Margs, etc will keep going and get beaten senseless round after round without quit. Kahn goes out cold when hit hard. Here's not going to sustain cumulative damage. Just a vicious flurry and go out cold.

I dont think it will and im not even a Khan fan. The thing is that Canelo is not the type of fighter that will push and punish his opponents. If Khan doesnt try to act brave and stand and trade then i dont see Canelo landing flush hard shots on Khan. Canelo gave Josseito Lopez a vicious beating and a few other people, I saw people in the stands turning the heads and not looking at the savage mauling Josseito received. Khan will get the same. Khan is cashing out and retiring after this fight.

There a good chance that Khan leaves on a stretcher.

I have to admire Khan for this, it will be one of the biggest fights of the year and he's right there, Even if he loses but looks good he can say Canelo was too big. I don't think he will get a beating, he is vulnerable to a big shot and may get KO'd again, but a sustained beating? I can't see that happening. But still, I'll reserve judgement until they are in the ring and we see the size difference. It won't be too sustained. When he gets caught, he shells up. Take a look at the end of the 1st round of Kirkland-Canelo...just imagine those bombs landing on Khan? Canelo should have himself a quick nights work.

whoever made this fight should be put to prison for manslaughter
