Official Canelo vs. Khan Master Discussion Thread

[boxingfan4life]

Wow this is definitely a surprise. Well at least Khan gets a big fight. He will get knocked out unfortunately. NO WAY Khan wins this fight. I'm sure this will be at the catch weight of 155. I give Khan credit for having guts at least. It will be entertaining until Canelo lands that big shot. I just hope it goes at least 3 rounds.

I am told Haymon had nothing to do with Canelo-Khan deal. Deal done with Khan and is father. #boxing #CaneloKhan

What a piece of ****.

Wow, who saw this coming..... Money talks at the end. Khan cashing out with this one.

Definitely. However, people gotta feel sorry for Khan. He's always verbally assaulting the people he wants and justifying his fan base in the process, so in the last light of things, he earns his demands.

I really wanted Khan vs Pac, but Arum or Pac refused and chose the easier way out with Bradley which honestly anything can happen in that bout as well.

I see Khan getting destroyed in this fight as everybody else.

what a f_cking hypocrite

Damn as a Khan fan this is just suicide, there is no way Khan stands up to Canelo's power. He should have just fought Brook. He would have made more money and would have had a big chance at beating him too

I think Khan just wants to win a really big fight or something but this is just maddness

I agree man, didn't get Floyd, won't get Manny...Goes for Canelo, the next in line for high revenue status. However, I think people can say what they want about Khan this is a huge move for him and takes balls, but yes it is pretty extreme.

Like you said, he should have fought Brook, maybe even twice here in the UK, he could have made plenty of money doing that (seeing as Khan looking for money seems to be his general approach)

To beat Canelo he would have to dart in and around for the full 36 minutes and I am not sure that in all that time he could avoid a damaging shot from Canelo.

I just done see how Amir has a chance, he ain't Ko'in Canelo that's for sure. For me it's just a matter of when that first big punch lands from Canelo, he's a beast when he's got you hurt and I'm scared Khan will get put to sleep real bad. If he makes the full 12 I swear I'll give him mad props.

I wonder how many times we're gonna hear Roy say "He's hurt real bad" in this fight lol

[Someone88]

Wow! This is one of the most random fights that has been made. But will be very entertaining!

Rafael is a ******

Stop complaining about middle champ @Canelo vs welter @AmirKingKhan. Study history like @THEREALBHOP-@OscarDeLaHoya &Hagler-@SugarRayLeonard

— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) 2 fevereiro 2016

@danrafaelespn @KevinI Leonard had been the legit champ at 47 AND 54. Khan is chinny and never won a belt above 40.

Shocked at this announcement. Respect to Khan, I thought he should've got the Floyd fight at some point, he seemed discouraged and confused about what direction to go in, but he's truly striving for greatness, even crossing over to HBO to make it happen and at Nelo-weight. Props
