I've put £15 on Khan as I think the odds are worth it.

I've not been impressed by Alvarez in what I've seen... too upright, not enough fluid movement. If Khan had an iron chin he'd be the favourite (favorite, Fat Yanks) in this one, I feel.

Khan's body perhaps doesn't look right at this weight, but it's possible that his punch resistance may improve at the extra weight. Although he's had recent wobbles that he maybe shouldn't have (such as against Algeri) this has been seen to be the case in his prior rises through the weight classes.

I'll back Khan as a live underdog.

Canelo should be ashamed if he can't KO khan matter of fact he should KO him within six rounds. This is a very good middleweight against an average welterweight.

Very surprised to hear Canelo called too upright, especially in comparison to Amir Khan who is about as stiff as any fighter I've seen at world level.

I consider Canelo's fluid upper body movement to be one of his best assets. It's what sets up a lot of his counter opportunities, along with his timing of course.

I'll confess to not seeing many of Alvarez's bouts. To tell the truth, his style doesn't compel me. There's no real "X Factor" in his boxing, unlike Amir... even if Amir's "X Factor" is being KTFO.

Canelo wins because Khan will eventually will be baited into exchanging with Canelo and that would be the end of the fight.

[boxingfan4life]

Doubtful... Wait to see something official. If Official, the end of Khans career.

This will actually help his career whether he win or lose. The exposure he will get will boost his marquee value. That's the real reason he took the fight in the first place. His father said money is not the motivating factor but we all know that's not true.

I'm LOVING all these moves by Khan lol. I am VERY INTRIGUED about this fight for real. I hope he pulls it off, I will laugh and celebrate so hard.

More than 3 weeks out and he's already in BEAST MODE!
