    A Mere Con is one dimensional come forward plodder. His only decent attribute was his speed. Canelo started to beat him with round 3 and was already ahead on the scorecards. If he didn't get KTFOed, he would lose by wide UD.

      Goat Khan is a master boxer who has tremendous defense and offense. He easily outboxed both Canelo and Crawford until he got robbed. Both guys cheated their way to win a victory over him. Put some respeK on his name. Amir “GOAT” Khan.

        If you think Kahn and Mayweather are the same. U might want to get a book on boxing.

          This is a rhetorical question, BTW.

              Crawford is TBE, Khan is the GOAT.

                Khan was never going to win. The shot Canelo set up was great but even without that Khan has a tendency to stand in the pocket too much and overengage.

                  Canelo has gone on to do really impressive things but he defended his middleweight title against Khan. wtf?

                    I dunno man it sure was a huge shock to me I think we all thought Khan would just win so easily.

                    As far as back on planet earth.

                    Khan, elite hand speed, had a decent jab when he used it but also obviously had terrible punch resistance, fought one dimensionally and had style flaws that never were ironed out of him.

                    His feet were fairly quick but his legs were very stiff, if you watch him his knees don't bend and he moves like someone running about on stilts, very stiff, very upright also and so when he got hit with big shots he was a stiff target and the power got amplified.

                    He also fought in a pattern, move round the outside, jump in and throw 10 pinch flurry then back straight out.

                    Khan did about as well as anyone could possibly do with his weaknesses.

                      Because at one point he saw an object coming, over which the words "Breidis & Danny" were printed. It's there that he instantly switched to astronomy.
