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

[boxinghead530]

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

Dude don't try and make sense and figure out the boxing fans of this generation. You will just make yourself spin around and around.

Khan has major balls for taking this fight. I give him major props.

Huge jump? More like huge DUMP

[gmc_rfc_06]

I don't see it as much different to when Josesito Lopez jumped up to fight Canelo.

Both guys will have been well paid to get beat up.

When Khan fought Algieri his excuse for his poor showing was that Chris was bigger and stronger than he thought , Canelo will be much stronger than Chris with much better boxing abilities, early days and just wondering how Khan can keep Canelo off him as I thought Garcia and Kell would get him.Got to sleep on this but I don't think Khan is capable of doing what Floyd did out box and out class him although it must be said Canelo does seem easy to hit.12 rounds with a guy like Canelo is a long time this could be a massive mismatch with Amir getting iced after a reasonable start but I'm with ole glass jaw on this one, the big underdog ....get in there.

this will be very interesting...

khan needs to do a float like a butterfly and sting like a bee....

Its amazing to me that Khan has the ballz to fight Canelo at 155, but GGG doesn't.

I think we'll something similar to this.

Julian Jackson's power WAS what GGG's fans THINK his is. Its not. Not even close.

Canelo doesn't have the scary KO power and can still be considered a natural 154-pounder, this is more like when Meldrick Taylor stepped up too soon to fight Terry Norris, unlike Taylor, Khan will at least last 10 rounds and gets kayoed late.

Yeah. Nothing more annoying than those pesky "weight classes."

[PETUFF]

Its a shame ! this fight is not even Canelo will sweep the floor with little Khan

[Spoon23]

Wow ... I never saw this coming.

Canelo has slow feet, Khan has fast hands and can move. Canelo will KO Khan if he can land his counters. If Khan can exploit Canelo's inability to cut the ring on a shifty opponent, and keep his concentration, he might pull this off.

War Amir Khan!

What you forgot to equate is that khan has a glass jaw.

In 1 round this fight is done.
