Who is the better boxer? Canelo or Khan?

Amir khan...

Not even worth discussing, it's obvious Canelo is.

Cotto had a hard landing a solid punch on Canelo. No one could say that about Khan.

Canelo actually boxes and is patient, sets his punches up, you can see him thinking. Khan goes wild, jogs around the ring, throws flurries. Gets even crazier when he gets hit clean. Canelo is the better boxer.

People who thinks Khan has elite boxing skills are so wrong. To say he has never been outboxed is ridiculous.Mediocre Diaz who was so quickly and easily KOed by Thurman almost outpointed Khan in Khan's back yard.

Canelo is by far the better boxer. Canelo is good at slipping punches and he is an accurate counter puncher. On the attack he has fast accurate combinations. He outpointed Cotto who is also a superior boxer than Khan. Khan has speed but he doesn't have much timing or accuracy and he gets hit much more than Canelo does. I predict that not only will Canelo end this fight with an early round KO but he will win every round of the fight.

Canelo is the more solid boxer. Workmanlike, but sound.

Canelo has shown more ability against better fighters. How is it even a question? Just because Khan can sort of get in and out doesnt actually make him a better "boxer". Canelo has more skill it every range. Better reflexes, defensive instincts, counter puncher, jabber, body puncher (I do think Khan is an underrated body puncher though), timing, etc. khan only has a noticeable difference in foot speed. Hand speed Khan has a slight edge but Canelo has good handspeed and better timing..and khan can put multiple ounches together faster although more pitty patter than not...but Canelo can put combinations together quickly and keeps his balance and power through the whole sequence while staying in the fight and keeping his defense in mind. Khan will leap in, chin up, hands at his side trying to throw a combination quickly and like anyone who wasnt intimidated by Khan he will dig in and blast a left hook to stop him and Khan will prdictably leap straight back, hands up and Canelo will step in with a straight right down the pipe or to the body. Khan has more energy and should do well when Canelo isnt punching. Canelo is just sharper and better but Khan has this sneaky type of pop that coupled with his speed he might be able to tag CAnelo hard coming in Unfortunately for Khan, Canelo has shown a great chin vs bigger stronger fighters. We all know Khan is going to try to pot shot and clinch all fight but I dont see how he can effectivey do it over 12. Everyone is able to time Khan and kind of figure out his rhythm so...it seems inevitable

Khan is the better boxer when he wants to be.

On paper, possibly Kahn. But, he's not near as effective as Canelo due to Canelo being stronger and more durable. Couple that with a significant size difference and it's heavy in Canelo's favor. Technique is not something strictly cerebral, it must be APPLIED.

Canelo, by far. Khan's only advantage here is speed, which is an overrated attribute if you don't know how to properly implement it.
