Comments Thread For: Hunter is Hoping That Khan Has Fully Moved Past Canelo KO

I do agree with much of what you said but I do think khan has poor resistance. I also don't think that punch would've ko'd anyone. He landed that same type of punch on Cotto (feint with a low jab and over hand right) and Cotto took it. Ggg took several clean shots too. I'm not saying Khan has a great chin here but he went up 2 weight divisions for the Canelo fight and Canelo refused the weight-gain clause (or whatever it's called) so he was huge in the ring compared to Khan. I think pretty much any fighter in the same situation would have been Ko'd by that punch.

Canelo took that man's soul. Canelo hit him so hard you could literally see his spirit leaving the body. http://sportige.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Outer-Body-Khan-Experience-e1462731807316.jpg

You can hear it in Hunter's voice (metaphorically speaking) that he doesn't believe in Khan's chances in this fight. He probably didn't like what he's been seeing in sparring. Anyways the way Hunter been talking isn't a good sign for Khan. Hunter doesn’t speak very highly of anyone other than is great creation Ward, so it’s not all that surprising. In this fight it’s more about the other quote regarding Canelo, that he didn’t want the fight for Khan. I believe it’s the same here, he doesn’t want this fight for Khan because he likes to go in feeling more on top and he just doesn’t feel confident. Which is worrying for Khan in terms of the way he might have been coached for this. But he’ll do okay, he’s only collecting the check at this point anyway.

I remember texting with my brother as we were both watching the fight. He had just sent a message saying Khan was looking good and could win this. I replied that yes he is but it’s just a matter of time before he gets laid out. A few minutes later Canelo was kneeling next to Amir making sure he didn’t Ivan Drago his ass.

For Khan's sake I hope the fight is competitive and that he makes the full 12 rounds

I think Khan's defence is more of a problem than his punch resistance. He wasn't troubled by anything Canelo threw before the big KO punch. Let's face it - that punch would have knocked *Anyone* out. The problem was that he let himself get hit by that punch. Also Khan put Maidana down and Maidana couldn't put him down. Khan's main problem is lack of decent opposition recently. He is no way ready for Crawford. This is why Crawford chose him. Big name, easy fight. Same reason Wilder chose Tyson Fury...

yeah, because it takes a big puncher to hurt khan right? Dude was getting rattled by the power of Chris algieri. I think Khan's defence is more of a problem than his punch resistance.

This is an absolute farce, a complete mismatch.These people will end up getting this idiot killed.If there was ever a time in boxing for someone to be saved from himself , it's now. I might sound bitter and I probably am as there's many more deserving fighters out there but as I keep saying .Come back see me Sunday, this is a dangerous mismatch and Khan has every chance of being badly injured.He is quite simply a lamb to the slaughter and I am not impressed with the people around him who are seemly as delusional as him allowing this farce to take place. One last dollar , that's what this promotion should be called!

Crawford is a better counterpuncher than Canelo and is more fluid...he can switch orthodox and southpaw. And while Khan had some success jabbing early against Canelo I dont see him having as much success against Crawford who is more defensively responsible and evasive. I expect Crawford to land something significant around round 4 - possibly scoring a KD - and a stoppage within 7. Its possible theres just a decision win though as Khan is a full blown WW...very motivated and basically has nothing to lose...expect some KDs along the way though You really think Bud is a better counter puncher than Canelo???

He has. Crawford is not a big a puncher as everyone is making him out to be. Amir Khan will become new WBO Welterweight Champion of the World. yeah, because it takes a big puncher to hurt khan right? Dude was getting rattled by the power of Chris algieri.

He died after that right hand launched then came back to life once his head hit the canvas.
