    Khan needs motivation to be his best: kotelink, barrera, malignaggi, judah, collazo, alexander, maidana...

    Watch how he does against Canelo. He will extremely motivated and hungry. He will beat Canelo UD 12. You read that right. He will dominate Canelo. Mark my words.
    How is he going to pull this off? Canelo has a better jab, better counter puncher, Hell his defense is ever better then Khans,He throws his combos better and is more accurate and powerful with a much better chin...How will Khan dominate him?

      How can anyone deny Floyd ducked him ?

      Maidana you can maybe give him the benefit of the doubt but Berto he gave up 500k PPV buys in the US and probably more than that in England to not fight Khan.

      If you you look up ducked in the boxing dictionary that's would be the example they would use.

      Lose out on money to take a much easier sure win.

      It's a text book duck.

        Khan has skills, speed, foot work, and a good Boxing brain. We have seen glimpses of his skill set, especially against dangerous fighters, against whom he is very motivated.

        Against Canelo, Khan is the underdog for the first time ever since the Olympics. Khan wants to prove that he is the best. He will be at his absolute best on May 7. Those who haven't seen much of his career, his talent, or his skill set and boxing IQ, will be extremely shocked to see how Khan dismantles Canelo every round.

        You will see. 3 more months. When Khan dismantles Canelo, please give Khan his credit. He's going up two weight classes to destroy the next Mexican Sensation.

          Amir Khan is the 3rd most popular fighter in Boxing after Mayweather and Pacquiao. Numbers don't lie: Look at his social media following. It's the 3rd highest for a boxer. He brings a unique set of loyal fans:

          1. UK (population 65 Million)
          2. Pakistan (population 200 Million)
          3. Middle East (population 200 Million)

          The PPV with Canelo will prove his appeal. It will sell at least 1 Million PPV buys. After the Canelo fight, Khan will cement himself as a PPV Superstar.

          Without further ado:

          List of fighters who ducked Amir Khan:

          1. Floyd Mayweather Jr. (did a poll online b/w Khan and Maidana. Khan won. Mayweather picks Maidana who brings less money. And then shamefully fights Berto).

          2. Manny Pacquiao (picks Bradley's 3 even though Khan brings way more money than Bradley).


          Khan had signed the contract on his side for the Mayweather and Pacquiao bouts. Khan put his career on hold, and waited for months for Pacquiao and Mayweather. In the end, Pacquiao and Mayweather picked different opponents (Maidana, Berto, Bradley) for much less money.


          3. Danny Garcia (rematch) (his father has said countless times how he doesn't want Danny to face Khan)

          4. Juan Manuel Marquez (way back when Khan beat Barrera. Khan offered JMM the fight. JMM rejected it).

          5. Timothy Bradley (shamefully ducked Khan multiple times): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UN6BLfstYM

          6. Miguel Cotto (Freddie said it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFDRo1HFFGQ)

          7. Adrien Broner (talked about it. Never walked through with it).
          Total amount of fighters ducking Khan are; zero zip zilch nada bupkis, a fiction of yours and Khan's imagination

          With that fragile chin of his, whose in God's green earth, would avoid him

          Get real

            Khan is one those fighters who you can't really duck. His good wins are very sparse, his WW run was more like a jog, his JWW superiority was debunked by DSG and Peterson, his so called speed is a myth. I'll give Khan his credit and say for a boxer so flawed to go in there and fight Canelo at 155, is incredible just to sign that contract. But no one 'ducked' him, outside of Bradley when he said 'if i lose to Khan, I lose out on the Pac/May sweepstakes.'

              -Mayweather: picked Maidana and Berto over Khan. Took less money by fighting M and B. Mayweather taking the lesser money option? Why? Clear duck.

              -Pacquiao: same story. Bradley 3? Why? He already beat him twice. Khan brings way more money than Bradley.

              -Cotto: watch the video I posted where Freddie talks about it.
              Who out there has ever gotten rich fighting Khan?

                  They are afraid to fight khan because they don't want to hurt a guy with a chin of a 12 year old.

                    200 million in the Middle East is basically all the Arab countries. Just because they're brown doesn't mean they all support Khan.

                      Pacquiao got KOd by Torrecampo early in his career, primarily because he was extremely weight-drained and had a poor game plan. Same thing happened to Khan - very visibly weight-drained, very poor game plan (a new trainer told him to try to rush and KO Prescott in the first round).

                      There is a difference however - Torrecampo had a 25% KO ratio at the time he stopped Pacquiao, while Prescott had a 98% KO ratio at the time he stopped Khan.
