You have to look at it within the context of who Canelo is. He's constantly trying to fight smaller guys and even created his own weight class. This isn't khan taking a great chance, although he is, it's about Canelo picking a guy that he is way bigger than. It's a disgrace that they would entertain this fight. Forget his stupid Canelo weight, this guy is a 160 pounder. This is like Crawford or postol trying to fight Abner Mares or Kovalev trying to fight Andy lee.

Great post......
How is this a good fight? It's a total mismatch

There is lots of hate for Canelo on this board. That evil Canelo is constantly picking on poor little Trout and poor little Lara and poor little Cotto and poor little Angulo and poor little Kirkland. Now he has really gone and disgraced himself even more by fighting tiny helpless Khan. He even started his own weight class to facilitate picking on these little guys. He would be much more comfortable fighting at 160 but he purposely drains himself to 155 to fight smaller guys. There is just no end to the cowardice of Canelo. He should be banned from boxing.
You must not be looking very hard because there are lots other unreasonable people just like you who are hating on Canelo for fighting Khan. He isn't making Khan do a damn thing. Khan came to Canelo and asked for the fight and Khan wanted the fight to be at 155 for the WBC middleweight title. If you had been paying attention to what's going on with Khan you would know he has been talking about fighting Canelo and Cotto for months now. Khan has lots of options at 147 like Garcia or Brook but going up in weight is his choice and what Khan WANTS to do. Don't blame Canelo for making him move up because it's untrue. What are you talking about when you say he is making a WW move up once again???? Are you so ignorant on today's boxing that you don't know Cotto isn't a welterweight. He was the middleweight champion of the world and Canelo took that title from him in his last fight. I know you were hoping Canelo would lose but he won. Khan isn't this tiny little guy. He is a big strong welterweight now who may be having trouble making 147. He plans to weigh 165 on fight night. If you knew a thing about boxing you would know that good fighters often move up a few pounds to challenge a heavier champion. That doesn't make the bigger champion guilty of doing something wrong or deserving hate. Canelo is a prize fighter. He accepted Khan's challenge to defend his title against him because Khan is a worthy challenger and it is a huge money fight. You did know the main reason boxers fight is to make money didn't you? Don't worry about Canelo not getting enough hate. You are doing your job as a true Canelo hater very well.
Lo + difícil d la negociación fue la exigencia d A Khan que quería la pelea en 154 libras Canelo firme en 155 para hacerla titular. Ya está.— Eduardo Lamazón (@lamazon_oficial) February 3, 2016
Khan asked for 154 but Team Canelo denied. Lmao
Just sayin'
I notice that it seems no fights are good enough for people anymore. Theres always a complaint about why the person should fight this guy or that guy. Why can't we be happy that a fight between two popular fighters is happening. I think the fight will be better then what most people will think. Remember Cotto is a small guy and he wasn't knocked out by Canelo so lets wait and see.
Maybe amir Khan has been told he will meet his 50 young virgin women when he fights Canelo...after all that is what happens when you die and go to heaven......I'm still in shock this fight is happening and I would understand if he had beaten brook and say a Garcia .....but he hasn't he has looked absolute sh1t with the collazo and algier's of this world and looked to be slipping......Khan would make a great salesman though because how the hell has he managed to get this fight ....f@ck knows lol
How is this a good fight? It's a total mismatch Canelo can make much more fighting Khan than any other boxer in the world. It was Canelo's lucky day when Khan asked to fight him. Do you really think Canelo should tell Khan that he won't fight him because he is too small and his chin is too weak and he could knock him out too easily so the fight is a total mismatch. Get real, Chuckguy. No boxer in the world in Canelo's position is going to refuse Khan's offer to fight. No boxer in the world is going to turn down all that money to beat up a guy who has almost no chance to win. Quit picking on Canelo for doing what any other boxer would do under the same circumstances. So the fight is a mismatch. So the hell what. Mismatches happen in boxing every weekend. They are part of boxing. I guess you just hate Canelo so much you have to single out this particular mismatch. Mayweather vs Berto was a mismatch. Kovalev vs. Pascal fights 1 and 2 were mismatches. Garcia vs Salka was a gross mismatch. Crawford vs Lundy is almost certainly going to be a mismatch. I don't remember you saying one bad word about any of these and many other mismatches. You only single out this mismatch. Come on, Chuckguy, spread your hate around.

Canelo is a pu$$y. Fighting a sh*t chinned WW at 155lbs for the MW title.

To be frank with you, I'd take Stevens or Lemieux before this, if he's planning to fight his mandatory in Sept. I'll bet you all my points that he won't. You in?
Sure no problem.
It's not going to prepare him for GGG. I mean what fighter can prepare him for GGG? Rosado sure wouldn't do it.
It's simply a stay busy fight for lots of money. Remember if he gets absolutely destroyed by GGG, (which is always a possibility) there is a possibility he won't have any more big money fights. Might as well capitalize now.

If it was actually at 160 I wouldn't have cared, I've said this before :dance:
How do you feel about this fight?
I'm not to keen on it. I feel it's a waste of Canelo's time. But I realistically look at his options...slim pickings....
It's not like they can just sign off to fight Martin Murray and all is well...
Canelo is in a bad spot, every fight has to have a big name. It's GGG or bust at this point....Khan is atleast a big enough name to buy some time.
He is making a WW move up in weight once again fighting a smaller guy yet I see no hate
I know right? Why the hell is everyone embracing this freakshow with open arms?!:rolleyes:
Financially wise I don't have an argument. This fight will sell, casuals don't care about weight. Khan and Ginger will make money.
But in no way does this prepare him for Gennady.

Will NEVER happen, not at least this year or next. You don't fight Khan to prepare for that fight.
I was a Canelo fan (not a big one) until today. He's a real *****, plain and simple.
You say it won't, I think it will.
You know just as well as I know that had he picked Rosado, people would be just as up in arms as they are now. Boxing fans are never happy.
Plus this is a stay busy fight for him. If you're going to have a stay busy fight before fighting a monster like GGG, wouldn't it make sense to make a fight that can make you a lot of money? Khan makes him more money that Rosado.
