Why do you think canelo agreed to fight khan.?

[MrRolltide91]

Any middleweight who fights a welterweight who isn't even top 5, and does so at middleweight, is a b*tch. I don't care who they fought.

Saul Alvarez is a punk if he fights Khan. You can pretend otherwise all you want, doesn't make it any less true. Defending it just makes you a b*tch's b*tch.

Damn u mad...

Money, of course. Canelo probably thought they were pranking him. Fool probably signed so fast he broke the pen.

Lmao.......

Because Canelo is a hype job and he knows it he has no intention of taking on a top fight and why should he he's still a cash cow in mexico and among many of the chicanos state side

He agreed to take the fight because it's a big money tuneup fight for a bigger fight against GGG.

Do I personally like the fight? No. But it didn't matter who he chose for his tune up fight, people were going to criticize no matter what, so he might as well make the tuneup as big (money wise) as he can.

Truuuuu. However, if he does decide to fight GGG in September, I would prefer him to fight at or close to the MW limit against a MW contender that has a pressuring style that can prepare him for GGG. This does nothing for Canelo in terms of preparation for Golovkin.

Unless Canelo is using Khan to prepare him for another fighter with the type of speed and activity that Khan fights with. I.E. Bradley/Pacquiao winner, shoot even Floyd rematch if he decides to come back for #50 and lineal MW title.
