Comments Thread For: Roach: Canelo Better Than Brook, Khan Must Be Perfect To Win

[WesternChamp]

Khan speed and body shots are gonna be the deciding factor here, can khan get in land a solid body shot and get out. he does that he coast to a easy W and maybe a later stoppage.

a later stoppage? fffffuuckk no!!!!! not against canelo! if he is discipline enough he might win a UD but he needs to stay discipline. Khan has the habit of trading once he gets hit.

Ill be surprised to see Khan go 12 let alone win. Mayweather was using that footwork when he was in the pocket...combo, angle, counter...Khan cant do that..no way.

2, 3rd rd KO for Nelo

Very interesting match up. Reminds me of Sugar Ray Leonard VS Hagler. Question is.. can Khan avoid Canelo's big punch? Will his chin hold up when he gets hit by the big guy? All the odds are against Khan. Respect for taking a risky fight..

Khan lacks the power to discourage the furosity of canelo.

Let me guess your European?


Man you guys are quickly becoming the most delusional fans in boxing today .

Canelo will run over that chump like a tonka truck.

Khan's being thrown out there as a crash test dummy for two reasons. I'm pretty sure Canelo's fights are a very healthy percentage of GBP's overall revenue. And the need a name to sell an event. An event which is in essence a tune-up/stay busy fight. And secondly, he's being thrown out there to convince the Pac-Bradley winner that Canelo is a fight he should. Khan having even meger or marginal success will likely convince the Pac-Bradley winner winner that they can beat Nelo. After this announcement, I'm about 75% sure the Pac-Bradley winner is the true fall target for Canelo and its not GGG which many temd to think.

Wow your comparing Khan to Ray leonard?

Leonard is top 10 all time great khan isn't even in the 500 greats of all time.

Completly different leagues champ.

Good fight for Khan. Most likely he will lose, but good money, and he can go back to the lower weight after.

Good fight for Canelo too. He will win and easy PPV sales. Mexicans and Brits will watch. Easy money for Canelo too, before losing to Golovkin later.

Props to Khan, but it's a suicide mission!

i find it interesting how people are talking about how and what when its a big man vs a small man and were talking about a man whos taken big shots from other middleweights and never been floored whereas the smaller man is very quick......and thats it. been hit by no hitters and floored, tagged and troubled in almost every fight and would not have fought for christ knows how long AND has to avoid EVERY single punch? no facking way. however, its a good pitch for continued career if he loses because he would certainly gain something if he were to go the distance or atleast 8/10 rounds. remember, canelo only has to tag him and the inevitable will follow.
