Khan wants to prove to Haymon, Floyd (& Garcia)

[Lester Tutor]

Thus far it seems like 147, comfort transition, has been to Khan's favor. Against a Thurman, Brook, or Porter, that's debatable. However, most of us can acknowledge Khan's skill and endurance in the ring as long as he doesn't get clicked. He didn't have to go frantic hooks against Garcia but he chose to..

I see also Mayweather's last words to Khan at the Garcia vs Guerrero bout had a lot to do with Khan's psychology, where Floyd said to Khan, "this is the guy who beat you!?"

So by taking the Canelo bout he has the "chance" to take on Alvarez as well...or by proving he can beat Garcia this time around. Of course the money is great as well, but his last chance against Pac didn't fall through.

As far as Golden Boy, as I stated before, I think the All Star Boxing fiasco has a lot to do with this fight as well.

Regarding Haymon, seems like an excuse for opposing writers just to complain. Lol

Khan trained himself for 80% of the Garcia training camp because Roach was away training Pacquiao in Philippines for the Bradley fight.

The mistakes he made against Garcia he was actually making in the sparring footage that he released beforehand, throwing that ridiculous jab, uppercut combo and getting caught repeatedly in sparring, the same way Garcia caught him. Meanwhile Roach was in another country training Pac so he wasn't even there to spot and correct the mistakes.

It was one of the worst camps of his career because he had no trainer for most of it and the warning signs were there in the sparring footage. I remember thinking he better not fight that way in the actual fight because he'll get himself in trouble but he ended up making the exact same mistakes repeatedly, it was as if he was addicted to that one particular combo which made him extremely predictable.

Pac's left charge is very predictable too wouldn't you say. In the first Round against Floyd, I believe one of the first lunges, Floyd tried to counter the same Marquez did. With that momentum going forward Pac has no time to get away from a countering hard right.

Pac is definitely predictable at points, and JMM fought him so much that he realized Pac tries to put on a show, so to speak, when he's aware that the end of the round is approaching. This usually involves the surge forward, feinting with a jab, or just as commonly a double jab. He performed that manoeuvre repeatedly in all the Marquez fights and Marquez figured out not only the move itself, but also the probability of when Pacquiao would most likely execute the move in the fight - towards the end of a round. That's why he was able to time him at the end of the round, he was aware that Pacquiao would double feint with the jab to give the impression of activity in an effort to entertain the crowd.

It's awesome to hear when people acknowledge rounds in detail, or as I say, prove the testimony of the round empirically. What's ironic is when sore losers call things luck with actual slow motion provided, such as Marquez moving back slowly with his right arm ready to counter and boom lights out. If boxing rated fighters on the amounts they have been stopped by KO, not TKO, then most discussions wouldn't defend a fighter so casually. Because Pac was KO'd twice before Marquez, and not by TKO. There's a difference.
