    Better fights legacy wise yes. Khan will be the most entertaining fight though because Khan will get knocked down like 10 times and keep getting up. It'll be very entertaining.

      No just trying to say that fighting at Catchweight instead of normal light middleweight limit did effect Canelo in the fight as he was clearly not happy fighting at this weight.

      "when the (fight) negotiations started, they wanted me to go to 147. I said that's physically impossible. I couldn't do it. Then they inched up to 150. I said I can't do it, that's impossible. Those days are over. I can't make that weight anymore, I've grown.

      "Then they went up to 151. And then finally, so we could make the fight, I said, 'If anything, I'll give up two pounds. I'll go up to 152. I agreed to that. Then they tried to force me to be quiet and not to mention anything that they came up with the weight of 152. And that's why ... I haven't said anything until now.

      "They said we were idiots, we were ******, that we were the ones that wanted the catchweight."

      Alvarez has not weighed 152 or under since coming in at 151.5 against Matthew Hatton in 2011.

        But he weighed in at 153 against trout which show how hard he worked in camp for that fight. One extra pound to fight the best seemed to me as a reasonable sacrifice from canelo.

          Just because Cotto beat a handicapped Sergio Martinez does not make him a better fighter. He's the same fighter he was before.

          Khan vs Floyd is a much better fight, floyd wont be able to run around the ring against khan, like he does against other fighters. Also floyd doesn't have the power to hurt khan, anymore.

          but again, I don't think he'll ever fight amir khan too, he'll avoid him just like he's avoiding Manny Pac, its gonna be some plodder for 'Money' Mayweather to help him retire undefeated (49-0) .

            How was he avoiding Khan? Khan was the favorite to fight him before and Floyd would've chose to fight him instead of Chino, if Chino didn't beat Broner. He won the poll and everything but look at the backlash and hate he was getting for trying to fight Khan, its only after he fought Chino and looked the way he looked that i seen some people talking about being cool if he chose Khan.

                Kahn is the only fighter who can beat mayweather aside from pacman. People complaining abt this fight are just crazy, they're the same people who rather have mayweather fighting maidana thrice than khan (who can potentially beat mayweather on points).
                I'll bite!!! Your statement "MAY BE TRUE", but until, if and when, Khan needs to start fighting and stop wishing. The reason Stephen A. and many others have ammunition against Khan is because he doesn't fight that often ... And when he does fight its against opponents that really don't test his mettle or against fighters who end up embarrassing him.

                How can anyone make a case for Khan, with him warming the bench constantly.

                      He fought cotto at the full 154 limit, to fight for the middleweight belt it would only need to be at 155
