What a warrior! Same goes for Canelo who took this fight knowing guys like Mayweather and Pacquiao didn't want any.
Khan has indeed proven himself a warrior by taking this fight. Thanks for calling my favorite fighter Canelo a warrior. He is getting trashed unmercifully by many on this board. This will really give Khan a chance to show what he can or can't do in the ring against a super star. I don't think Khan is taking this fight as a cash out fight. Both boxers are probably getting very well paid and the fight will be a huge seller. Khan believes in himself and his fighting ability and he thinks he is going to beat Canelo. I think he gets his 3rd KO loss but time will tell.
see khan isnt stupid he first was like naw but then studied Canelo and he truly belives he can beat him.
RESPECT especially in a era where being a pussy is cool as long as you hide it behind "business" lmfao.
Khan dares to be great in this era. People keep saying he wants a pay day. He makes $10 mil vs Brook, winnable fight and he gets o call himself "A-side" vs the champion, so why jump up 2 weights for lesser $ for a fight where you can potentially end your career?
So Khan says he COULD win. He has a chance. That's not what I want to hear from a fighter.
Sounds like he's definitely taking the money, regardless of the beating. So would I! But it's a lousy matchup if you're looking for a competitive fight.
Correction: Khan says that he thinks it's a 50-50 fight, even though he's aware that lots of people are saying he's got no chance. Big difference.

From that interview, the encouraging thing about this is that Khan is highly aware of the danger Canelo presents. In his past losses, he has gone in there thinking he'll beat the guys easy because really with his skills and speed he should have but that made him reckless and careless.
In this fight, it appears that he knows he's got to be on his A-game at all times and take as few risks as possible to secure the W. That sort of mentality is going to provide him with the best possible chance of pulling off the upset.
