only thing Khan has is speed and honestly that is overrated
Khan has combo speed, Canelo has one-punch (referring to when he counters a punch). Canelo also has the judges.
Khan has better ring-awareness. More heart.
Canelo should clearly be favored, but Khan has the talent to pull it off.
ABC logic don't work in boxing buddy. Maidana was convincingly beat by Khan, but Maidana gave Floyd a hard time in the first fight (mostly through low blows, head butts, rabbit punches, muo thai knees, karate chops, and football tackles, but yeah), and then Floyd went and schooled Canelo.
If we apply ABC logic, couldn't we then say Khan will easily school Canelo too since Canelo got schooled by the guy who had a hard time against a guy Khan schooled?
Yeah, think again buddy, plus, fighters improve over time and learn from their mistakes just like yawl claim Canelo has since the Trout, Lara, and Floyd fights.
Khan's case is more than ABC. That sh*t is ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRTUVWXY and Z, the whole alphabet. Anyone he fights gives him a hard time nowadays.
You mean he's not a counter puncher with a mean left hook? Come on bro, Khan is a perfect opponent for Canelo to shine.
But that's typical Khan. I think they'll come up with some new game plan , most likely 1-2 and get out of range, rinse and repeat.
But he will get hit at some point...
This.
As soon as Khan gets hit, his 'blueprint' will go to sh1t.
He won't be able to run for 36 mins.

:lol1: fcking larry i thought tunney is back
You can't say Khan literally has no advantages then in the same post say "except.." and then name advantages.
Khan has advantages in height, reach, handspeed, footspeed, stamina, workrate.
This is why I don't see Khan winning. Lamont was able to get inside without any trouble, and so did Algeri. Feet are quick but the footwork isn't great. He will get cornered and battered. Khan doesn't use a whole lot of headmovement or lateral movement either which won't do him any favors.
Algieri, even though his coach seems to be trying to turn him into a one dimensional come forward plodder, naturally and instinctively has always has good foot movement too and very good ring IQ, and Lamont Peterson is a high voltage pressure fighter.
Canelo is none of those things so you can't compare him to those two. Canelo aint high voltage, aint a pressure fighter at all actually and he aint got the kind of foot speed that Algieri has. It's gonna be hard for him to catch Khan if Khan doesn't stay in the pocket and trade with him.
I've never seen a fighters recent performances get ignored as much as Khan's by boxing fans. They are dead serious, they are ignoring his performances against Peterson, Garcia, Julio Diaz and Chris Algieri. That sh*t just never happened, it's completely void from his resume. It's like a Twilight Zone episode. They just continue talking about his speed this, ring IQ, whatever. Like, he didn't just barely got by Julio Diaz and Chris Algieri, and like he didn't get beaten up by DSG and Peterson.

He has height, reach, and speed advantage dumb ass. And shut up, Canelo has no footwork whatsoever, Khan's footwork aint impressive either, but it's better than Canelo.
They both got no head movement, but Canelo admittedly has better hip movement judging by the Cotto fight.
C'mon man, Khan has faster hands and feat, better workrate + more heart .
Heart isn't really a factor when you have a glass jaw...in fact it can be detrimental in that case.

lmfao when you've trolled so hard that the only thing left to do is change your name to another poster's
Not reading through the whole thread, but I agree with Golovkin to an extent. The hand speed Khan possesses will likely mean nothing compared to the short, crisp counters Canelo loves to wait on. Where others rail on his gas tank or sh*t on him for not fighting "Mexican" enough, I see a guy who realized the importance of patience and being economical with his punches by 22 already.
I feel he struggles more with counter punchers who apply pressure and throw wide, looping shots. I feel Canelo is more a defensive minded counter puncher.
The shot Prescott hit him with, Danny Garcia, Diaz they was all really wide left hooks.
You'd of thought the guy with a crisper more compact hook, more accurate, better timing would have the better chance of landing but its the wide, crazy sh*t that tends to prove most effective against him. Fighters who pressure and throw with him and catch him mid flurry. Canelo is more a counterpuncher who waits until you're done throwing before returning fire.
He boxes well against more calculated fighters.
Common sense tells me that Canelo lands and its all she wrote but there is just something there that says I've seen crazier sh*t happen than Khan outboxing him and making him look very lethargic.
I think most expect Khan to trouble him early what if that big shot don't come? Man I must be f*cking crazy. I think I must be trying to convince myself or something.
I know what you're feeling but that's Amir Khan's career. It's always "if he fights smart, can stick to the 1-2s and not get greedy with the 3 and the 4, if he can angle out and avoid that return fire, can he can execute for 12 rounds...."
But that's just not who Khan is. He's a flawed fighter that constantly pays for his mistakes. And these mistakes prove to be fatal against fighters with the ability to capitalize on them.
