I have a friend who's more than a casual and he likes this fight, only because he can not stand Amir Khan. He hopes to see Khan get beaten up. I think a lot of people will support this fight due to them not liking Amir Khan. And people don't dislike Khan because he's good and arrogant, it's because he is delusional and talks too much without backing it up.
I realize this fight is a mismatch on paper but I'm interested in the freak show aspect of this fight. You have Khan, a guy that has been brutally stopped at 135 and 140 moving up 1 weight class + 1 pound to fight a guy that can hit hard and will outweigh him by 20 pounds on fight night.
Rarely do you see top fighters take these kind of risks in boxing anymore. Just look at how Golovkin ducked Andre Ward.
Payday vs. Canelo = payday vs. Ward? If Khan's all about the challenge, why isn't he fighting the true MW champ then?
