Weigh in both at or within a few ounces of 155. Fight night Khan 165 Canelo 167. I am so sick of hearing how Khan is moving up two weight classes because he isn't moving up two weight classes. Khan is a welterweight so if the fight was at the Jr middleweight limit of 154 he would be moving up one weight class. The fight is at a limit of 155. How in the hell does a single pound equal a full weight class?????? The guys who say Canelo is a bully for making poor little Khan move up 8 pounds are often the same guys who call GGG a coward for not moving up the same 8 pounds to fight Ward. You can't have it both ways haters. Either both Ward and Canelo are cowards for fighting or trying to fight an 8 pound smaller fighter or neither of them are cowards.
It's not at Junior Middleweight's 154lb limit so it's at Middleweight. For the Mw title, Against a guy who will be a SMW at least on fight night. Is that too tough of a concept to grasp?

On the scales -
Khan 154.5
Canelo 155
Fight Night
Khan - 161
Canelo - 175
Although i will not be shocked if Canelo comes in heavier than 175 and Khan comes in below 161
Canelo might relinquish the title at the scales. He comes in at 156 and doesn't try to make weight. Khan weights in at 154 1/2
What title? He can miss weight by 5lbs and still keep the middleweight belt :lol1:
Canelo will be about 173 (though we won't know) and Khan will be about 168.
I think Khan packed on some size for this fight (some people said he looked fat when they were doing photo promos for the fight--he wasn't out of shape--he was eating extra because you can build muscle much faster, and you can strip off the fat afterwards. I just hope the extra muscle didn't f*ck up his speed.

Fight night Canelo comes in at 178 but refuses to be weighed in by the HBO scales. Khan comes in around 162.
Missing 155 wouldn't cause him to lose his title because it's a Middleweight title (hard to remember sometimes with all this "create your own division" nonsense!!!)
He would definitely owe Khan some money though for failing to make the contract weight.

Khan - 154.5
Canelo - 154.8
Khan - 166
Canelo - 169*
But everybody will see that those "official" weights, are far from the eye test...you can see when someone outweighs another guy....we all going to see how Canelo is bigger than Khan on fight night.
Weigh in:
Khan - 154
Canelo - 155
Fight night:
Khan - 165 (bloated)
Canelo - 180+ (Same weight as for Cotto, but Canelo doesn't officially weigh in to avoid negative publicity)
And Canelo gets Khan into trouble with the first solid shot he accurately lands.
Have the medical crews ready, please.
