How is this fight possible Canelo disgraced himself

As middleweight champion of the world Canelo has disgraced the prestigious Middleweight belt which next tot he heavy belt is boxing most sacred title belt. Low Canelo is a fraud. Khan is a joke at 147lbs. shame on boxing for this vomit fight.
Khan is unworthy of any big fight with that ********* fan base of Khan's.

Oscar definitely must be getting super high if he thinks this is a big fight or even a fight the fans are demanding. To me this is worst than Pac-Bradley 3 and FMJ-Berto combined.

Come on son.

How can anyone **** on Khan? You want to talk about challenging yourself?

if he wanted to challenge himself he woulda fought kell brook already in the uk... wont that belt and get other bigger fights at 147.... which he just started in... all of ya was ****tin on cotto saying that he should fight a mw not a jmw.... here is canelo fighting a ww, barely cuz he just moved up not to long ago from super lightweight... its a pathetic fight.

"I know Canelo fights the best and wouldn't pass up the opportunity to face me like others have," Khan said. "My goal is to always fight the biggest names and the best fighters. That is why I'm excited for this fight. Also, I would like to thank my team and Golden Boy Promotions for this opportunity. I know I have the speed and ability to beat him and will give my fans what they deserve on May 7."

So Khan will move up eight pounds for what figures to be a big-time event that was made despite the well-chronicled issues between Golden Boy Promotions and Khan adviser Al Haymon. Behind the scenes, Golden Boy CEO Oscar De La Hoya and president Eric Gomez were able to make the fight without dealing directly with Haymon, against whom Golden Boy has a $300 million anti-trust lawsuit pending.

Although Haymon probably had to ultimately sign off the deal, Golden Boy -- which used to promote Khan before he left when the company and Haymon had their acrimonious falling out in 2014 -- worked directly with Khan and Shah Khan, his father.

Maybe Khan can be the one to bring the peace between HBO and Haymon?

With thia, there's no way Canelo is fighting Golovin next. Golovin won't be his first fight at the 160lb limit. So that's dead.

War Khan!!!

How can you not root for Khan here a lot of people are giving Canelo stick for taking what seems to be an easy defence and maybe they are correct but Khans in there and good luck but the more it sinks in the more I wonder how Khan can win.Canelo can be outboxed but i'm not sure , I think it's likely the dance will come followed by a fall, I hope he's not hurt and I am behind him.

Imagine what happens if Khan wins.
Imagine he did and then fought GGG
And won.

This will be the sole reason why people will be watching.

Wait what in the actual phuck is this?

Canelo will be 170-175lbs, Khan has no idea how hard he is about to get hit. Canelo by brutal one punch stoppage in the early rounds. Very bad matchup for Khan.

This confirms that Khan has tremendous balls, assuming he doesn't go in there and lay down immediately.

I lol'ed

People really think Khan will fold in 1 round lol?

Khan will go into the ring fully respecting Canelo's power

I see a lot of clinching and running...

Khan will have to fight the fight of his life to see the final bell though..win or lose

I really doubt Khan will have the strength to clinch Canelo successfully...

This really is a win win for Khan, and a lose lose for Canelo. If AK somehow pulls off the upset...he is the face of the sport, and holds all the aces. If he loses, well its expected, and no one really gonna give him much of a chance anyways so his career wont exactly be dead.

Canelo on the other hand...well...no matter what the outcome is, he is going to get it, and with GGG lurking in the shadows, this DOES NOT help his case to wanting to the next DLH, Floyd, Pac, ect.

Getting seriously hurt is not a win win and there's a pretty big chance of it here.

[Slowhand]

Canelo is a sad little piece of ****. He should be stripped ASAP. What´s next, Khan wins and defends against LSC? Canelo and ODLH are a disgrace and should be banned from the sport for good.

[NUCLEAR]

This is a lose lose situation for canelo. If he wins then he gets flak by the media for picking a smaller guy. If he looses then he gets flak by the media by loosing to a welterweight in his own division.


I'm dissapointed by canelo and GBP hope khan pulls an upset
