Official Canelo vs. Khan Master Discussion Thread

[Scipio2009]

silver lining to all of this

-Khan gets knocked off of his position as WBC mandatory challenger.

-with Berto-Peterson still needing to be made, health pending, you set up a possible Garcia-Robinson fight for the summer ("Battle for Philly", held at the Barclays Center, since Philadelphia never seems open to support big fights).

-Though Kell Brook, pending beating Bizier, misses out on the mega-summer fight this year (likely going to have to settle with a fight against someone like Diego Chaves), he likely has Khan over a barrel when it comes to negotiating the fight for Summer 2017; depending on how the timing of things ends up, we may end up seeing Brook-Thurman/Porter winner in the first 147 unification fight.

I dont give two ****s about racist people & their racist remarks.

Rap videos I assume? GTFO with that garbage. I don't listen to that shit.

[Redeaux]

Damnnnn he actually did it!

As much stick as I've given Khan for the past year...I gotta admire this. That is brave, I almost spat my drink out when I saw it was official.

What the literal **** is going on here...

[Gary Coleman]

Could've found the same level of opposition taking one of my lazy cousins and putting them in the ring vs canelo...the only name you mentioned worth a damn is Lara and we know why Lara lost that fight...he switched from boxing to track and field mid-fight thinking he was in a triathlon of sorts. He fought Floyd and lost every single last round...I wouldn't consider fighting the best fighter in the world not actually legitimately winning a round commendable.

You must really be down on Gennady then?

I still believe this has to be an elaborate hoax of some sort. An early April fool's joke.

I can see why Khan would take it. He's been chasing one massive payday to retire on. Really, really poor from Canelo though. This is cherrypicking at it's worst imo.

This fight alone was the solution/remedy to settle lawsuit agreements between GBP and Canelo's previous promoters. Seems like the previous promoters really put GBP in a tough financial spot.

This fight is about the money to settle. Khan is the ideal big name to remedy this.

Strange match up that came out of nowhere but I'm OK with it I guess

I give Khan respect for taking a huge risk and I think his Speed can give Canelo so serious problems early! As for Canelo side...Not So Much! He is technically fighting a guy 2 Weight Classes Down

Khan wins, easy work!

Hahaha based on what? Khan fast hands are only gonna work for a couple maybe a few rounds. Canelo breaks him down and stops him no doubt! Fight shouldn't even be taking place.
