Comments Thread For: Khan Taking a 'Huge Jump' With Canelo, Says Adam Smith

WOW! What a big surprise. Big credit to Khan for taking such a very dangerous fight! Canelo will outweigh him by 20 pounds come fight night. Canelo should win it in a big brutal KO fashion but I'm still excited to see how Khan will fight the big guy..WAR!

It's a ridiculous fight.
WTF is it with C now? He seems to need a huge size/weight advantage to get into the ring with anyone who is any good.

Khan taking this fight shows how delusional his when it comes to his talent and skill. Just because floyd made canelo like an amatuer doesnt mean khan will do the same. Canelo by ko in 4.

see the problem with that is haymon wasnt offering those fights up for Khan, he wanted those but haymon has other plans for those fighters. Khan has been voicing his dissatisfaction with haymon for awhile. He finally landed his big fight.

Like I said, Khans been inactive. He should ease back in. Take it slow. Take a stay busy fight. Khans kind of a free agent. So he can fight guys like Rios or a Provoknikovs. His priority shouldn't be to get the biggest fight right here, right now. His priority should be to just get a fight. And work your way to the big fights. But then again, any fight is a make or break fight with Khan. Provoknikov isn't the best fighter, but he is risky for a guy like Khan. So if Khan is a guy who is in tune with his own mortality and wants to make as much money before he gets knocked out at any given moment, then yeah attack the biggest fights. But if he truly believes that he can beat anyone, then take it slow. Canelo is younger than Khan, he ain't going nowhere. Eventually they can meet in the future if Khan is still a viable name.

Khan has nothing to lose. If he loses, well he moved way up and went for it against a much bigger, stronger man. No one can knock him for trying that. If he somehow wins, he is the king.

Khan had better start praying now for some power. I don't think he has anything to keep Canelo honest. Canelo will take anything that guy throws just to land on him. Oh well, I'm still going for Khan.

Khan is confusing talent and skill with speed. He is convinced that Mayweather's speed beat Canelo when it was the other way around.

I think we'll something similar to this.

takes alexander & algieri = cherrypicking + avoiding punchers ...
takes canelo = delusional + looking for money ...

Typical Canelo taking on smaller men. From Ulises Solis to Amir Khan. Khan has nothing to lose here fighting for the 155lbs title. Sucks for him that by fight night he'll be fighting a light heavyweight. Unless there's a rehydrating clause which I doubt. Only shot for him to win would be to try and outbox him from the outside.

Trying to get my head around a world with the possibility of Tyson Fury being the Lineal Heavyweight Champion and Amir Khan being the Lineal Middleweight Champion. It would be like Back to the Future 2 where Biff got hold of the Grays Sports Almanac.
