Khan wanted it to prove himself so Nell granted him his wish. Floyd granted maidena a wish.

[Mammoth]

To be a bad ass. He fought a lot of good fighters before fighting Golovkin. Like Beefy Smith, Khan and Chavez Jr.

He wanted to beat the guy who won Floyd’s twitter poll.

[The tucker]

He wanted another highlight reel KO to keep getting played in the arena while they wait for the main event.

AMIR KHAN revealed Canelo Alvarez's punches are like 'being hit with a baseball bat' due to the Mexican opting to wear thinly but legally padded gloves.

I swear that was enough when I hit him with that left hook-right hand. And that’s the shot, I have literally knocked a lot of people down with and he didn’t even budge he didn't move. And I thought, ‘Oh s***’ ”
