It started at 180, then it went to 185, now it's 190 :lol1:
Canelo was clearly smaller in this fight than the Cotto fight, I'd guess 175-ish.
khan talking about his losses is like a grandpa talking about how many miles, up hill, in the snow he used to walk to school. each time he tells it, it is more miles.
Canelo was in the low 170s when he used to weigh in, his higest was 174, a 20 pound cut.
The unofficial record in boxing i think is 24 pounds, it might be brandon rios, i dont remember.
anyways, canelo isnt shattering records for khan with 30-35 pound cut for glass chinned khan.
MMA fighters for whatever reason seem to cut more than boxers. upper 20s, which would be a record in boxing, seems pretty common. maybe its because they only fight for 15 minutes instead of 36, or they dont mind taking more risks
haha, canelo gains a **** ton of weight on fight night, I assume he's been around 175lbs lately. However, he's also strong as fawk, and Khan is not, especially at MW.
What happened to Khan that night was the reason so many thought it was a poor matchup.
Maybe... Most guys who are world class won't get caught with that shot cause they don't overcommit like Khan does.
I still am not sure if every 154 and under gets his lights turned completely out like that.
Khan's chin has been chipped away at to the point where it's fine glass now.
I used to believe chin was all myth, but I really think glass jaws exist now.
Of course some always has to do with the style of that boxer, and like Khan, who has so much faith in his speed he blindly overcommits and steps right into powerful shots.
Canelo was setting that punch up all night. He was jabbing to the body a lot and that's how he fooled Khan.
I don't think Khan's jaw is that bad, he took Maidana's best shots and Garcia's too, remember he was on his feet when the fight with Garcia was stopped and until then no one really knew about Garcia's power.
I'm not sure if everyone from 154 and below would be ko'd by that shot either, that's why I said almost guaranteed.
