Khan will get possible career ending beat down at the hands of Canelo

[mathed]

Unless Khan doesn't really try to win by not planting his feet and throwing shots, Khan will get a career changing beating at the hands of Canelo, and I'm not even a Canelo fan.

If your a Khan fan, this is a warning that he may never be the same after this fight.

SMH, nah man Khan sees weaknesses in Canelo's game and he will be stronger at 155. Like he said, once his punches land, he will hurt Canelo; personally, I think we should all be worried for Canelo's well being.

Khan has shown time and time again he is just not that good (at the highest level of course, since we don't even talk about the bottom 98-99% quality fighters in the sport). He's a decent title-holder, at lower weights than Canelo. Khan's edge in footspeed gets negated by the fact that he has poor footwork and balance. His edge in hand speed gets negated by the fact that he is not good at mixing defense and offense. Actually, he is just poor defensively, period. His defense consists of a high guard and his legs. Khan's edge in workrate/stamina is negated by the fact that he will leave himself open for counters by throwing more, against a sharp counterpuncher. Pretty much all of Khan's strengths will be negated by his many technical, physical, and mental (ring IQ) weaknesses.

Khan is not more skilled than Canelo, he is just faster. Canelo-Cotto was a good solid boxing match in which both fighters showed technical skills and maneuvers that Khan could only dream of doing. Or maybe something that Khan can do in practice, but won't be able to perform them in the ring for long because he'll get thrown off his game, as he often is. It won't take long for him to get flustered and resort to his instincts and bad habits once Canelo is able to hit him with some solid shots by timing and countering him.

Canelo is bigger, better, and will beat Khan quite easily. Canelo will have to suffer a freakish injury for Khan to win.

Khan's had a better career than expected, but he still falls WELL short of elite.

I will definitely bump this thread after the fight is over and Khan ends up victorious in that fight ..

then why did Mayweather duck him???

Canelo might ruin his life. I'm disgusted by this fight.

He is cashing out, no doubt. He gets KO'd, Brook fight, retire.

Khan's already rich, worth around $30 million, roughly around the same as Canelo. Khan could retire right now, and he'd still be sorted for life. He doesn't need to take this fight.

Khan doesn't have the ring IQ, footwork, or defense to do what Floyd did.

Just because someone is rich, it doesn't mean they don't want more money. Especially if their spending habits and lifestyles have changed since becoming rich.

Of course money plays a factor in Khan's choice to fight Canelo, but I also think he thinks he'll win. It's not solely a cash-out fight, he'll put in an honest effort before getting knocked out.
