Canelo-Khan. Not nearly as bad as Floyd-JMM

[LA_2_Vegas]

I can see both sides, but there's that one thing.....


Canelo has yet to miss weight like Floyd did against the smaller and unranked JMM.

[Outwest Exp 355]

Floyd knows that so he did not bother.

if he could not beat Khan, why even bother thinking of GGG right?

genius floyd fan and his sarcastic logic

Typical Floyd hater. Taking something that has absolutely nothing to do with him and making it all about him.

If you think Canelo is acting like a b1tch by defending his mw crown against a welterweight, then you must admit that Floyd acted like a super ultra mega b1tch back then when he dragged the midget Marquez, the lightweight champion, all the way to ww as one of the worst cherrypicks of all time.

JMM was at an enormous size and stylistic disadvantage in that joke of a fight. He tried desperately to gain mass by eating burguers at drinking piss, (he didn't have his faithful Memo HeROIDia by his side yet). It didn't work. JMM looked terrible. bloated and sluggish, worst version of JMM ever. Floyd even cheated him on the scales for good measure, came overweight and looked like SMW fighting a midget.

JMM was also at a HUGE disadvantage style wise

I mean, a counterpuncher fighting another counterpuncher, who is BIGGER, FASTER, with longer reach, and who is also a negative, defensive minded ***** who'd even force the midget counterpuncher to lead?! Jeez i wonder how is this going to end?!

At least Khan poses a stylistic challenge to ginger. We know Canelo has cement feet and always struggles with movers. Khan has the advantage in style, footwork, handspeed, movement speed. Khan is taller than Canelo with longer reach too. The real question mark is his chin, will his chin be up for the task? you know that, if they were the same size or if Khan was known for having an iron chin, Khan would be the big favourite here. JMM would never have a chance against Floyd even if they were the same size, styles makes fights.

So if you ever gave Floydette any credit for beating pre-HeROIDia midget JMM (you shouldn't), then you must give much more credit to Canelo after he flattens King Khan

At face value you're right. However your argument starts to lose steam after factoring in that Marquez remained at 147lb after losing to Mayweather and achieved a careering defining victory against one of the most fearsome fighters in the WW division. Like it or not, Marquez proved he could compete at 147llbs....I doubt we'll be able to say the same for Khan.

It's worse IMO. Here's why...

1. Floyd fought JMM off of a 2 year layoff while JMM was actually ranked on every outlet's P4P list. Khan is nowhere near any P4P list.

2. Floyd vs JMM wasn't for a title at some imaginary weight class of 155. The lineal middleweight title as a matter of fact. Floyd vs Jmm was a tune-up coming off of the layoff mentioned before.

3. While JMM can be caught early and knocked down he has never been stopped. Meanwhile Khan is known for a glass chin, has been stopped by lesser punchers than Canelo, not to mention he looked less than impressive and got rocked by Chris Algieri, Chris freaking Algieri!!!!

While I will say Floyd's win over JMM isn't impressive to me, Canelo folding Khan will be even less impressive

Lastly, will you fools stop bringing up Floyd to try and justify this match-up, it's embarrassing.

This.......

its on par, neither one is dramatically different from the other considering floyd missed weight

this is a big enough payday that if canelo came in at 158 or something the fight would probably still happen, just imagine..

Typical of GGG hater. Taking something that has absolutely nothing to do with him and making it all about him.

"Everybody knows the best way to prepare for GGG " you post this right?

That wasn't ggg hating. It was a little shot at Canelo jackass.

His troll game was funny at first now it's annoying especially when he tries to make everything about mayweather..

Both are pretty bad, didnt floyd also fail to make the catchweight limit as well? Jmm looked like a skinny fat dude when floyd fought him, people only let that fight slide at the time cause they thought floyd would fight pacquiao next.

This canelo khan is a legit mismatch, canelo gains nothing from it, only khan does, if khan wins it will be massive, probably one of those great upsets of all time.
