    Even if Khan beat Canelo which is not very likely imo, he's not gonna fight GGG, GGG doesn't offer Khan enough reward to take that kind of risk.

    I honestly think that Khan is taking that Canelo fight to cash out, he's been recently showing that he's not interested in boxing and I think he's not gonna be fighting much longer which is a wise decision when your punch resistance has gone down the drain like his, Khan can take irreversible damage if he keeps fighting and I think he should retire sooner than later.

      If GGG agreed to a catchweight of 155, there's no doubt whatsoever that Khan would fight him. He might even go up to 160, don't be surprised if that happens.

      All he wants to do is fight the best. Win or lose, it doesn't really matter. He showed that time and again throughout his career, tried to get fights with Mayweather, Pacquiao, Marquez, Bradley but all 4 of them ducked. Don't forget Bradley had virtually no fanbase when he was at 140, he had no star power at all but Khan still chased the fight hard because he was perceived as the best in the division.

        Golovkin would be absolutely crucified. He gets enough **** for wanting to fight Canelo at 160 and Mayweather at 154.

        But Canelo is champ. He call da shots and he A side doe.

              If the fight was again at 155, which is something reasonable for Khan then Khan would yet again be getting credit for taking the fight but people would ripping GGG like they ripping Canelo.

              You do realise no one is complimenting Canelo on this right?

                Nobody is complimenting him, but the place isn't going crazy with people condemning him either.

                Going by what I've been reading, as a ratio of the number of comments posted, I'd say GGG took more flack when it was announced that he was fighting his IBF mando than Canelo is getting for this.

                Maybe when people get over the shock, that will change.

                But this is a fight that Canelo will get no credit for, whatever the outcome.

                    Probably same. It's like a 99/1 ratio everyone discrediting canelo. Probably about the same number that will happen with ggg.

                    What I don't get is the over support on Khan. This isn't brave or have balls. If he had balls he could of fought ggg or bjs or any other mw or any other jmw and ill give him a lot of credit. This just feels like it's purely motivated by money.
