Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Gives His Take on Canelo Alvarez vs. Amir Khan

[thack]

Same problem as yours I desperately wanted Khan to fight Kell Brook and suffer the humiliation of getting beat down by a rival British fighter.

So I could get my cheap thrills of endlessly saying "Ha ha Old Glass Jaw was never good that anyway".

Unfortunately I got outplayed so fair play to the lad.

I Cant even say Khan has taken a soft touch to avoid Kell Brook because frankly that looks silly.

Now I could express indignation at the fact that Amir Khan might get hurt and say Khan should be prevented from getting this fight for his safety but that would make me look even more ******.

But I am a Boxing fan first and foremost so I have just decided to go with the flow, and enjoy the Media circus thats going to be around this event its going to be great for Boxing.

I hope you are right , I personally think the writing's on the wall for this to be bad for boxing.Canelo rolls with power and venom at this weight Khan has looked fragile at much lower weights it's natural to be a hesitant under the circumstances.I think the first time Canelo connects a lot of people who seem so behind this will start thinking twice .Like I say I hope I'm wrong, I really do and I don't have to say that.

Well the first time Manny Pacquaio connected with Ricky Hattons jaw, it was game over. But it was a thrilling fight while it lasted was a great show and electric atmosphere and great British Media Circus surrounding it.

It was great for Boxing, this fight will probably be the same. With Mayweather retiring and Pacqaio retiring soon. Boxing needs great events and a new star this Fight is launching pad for Canelo into superstardom.

So thack sit back enjoy the ride, go with the flow and stop over analysing.
If Khan comes out of this fight looking good then fair play, if the man is willing to the risk then no one should begrudge him the rewards.

Now there Invictas i'm all in for the great events , we were lucky enough to be ringside for the last AJ fight with stormzy in the ring doing his thing(not mine) the faces at ringside , all the crowd singing along to sweet caroline etc.....brill , but the anticipation was rife with a good novice pro fight in prospect, a great event, ...there is many more but I will try not to bore you....I just don't see this as being even competitive therefore find it difficult to jump on the bandwagon .
Beating Amir Khan is not going to be a lunch pad for Canelo in to super stardom beating GGG would!

[Nightfall]

if khan gets lucky there will be a rematch. the concrete clause is in place. so billy jo can go take a hike or continue to duck little G

This fight will show that Khan isn't on Floyd's level.

Really hated to see Khan land a fight of this magnitude ...had he been facing better foes. You look at CaneloKhans recent opposition...HUGE class difference.

I wonder what rd Canelo stops Khan though? Im leaning toward the 2-3rd

Least Khan wants to fight the best. Khan already has a lot of confidence when Mayweather kept running from him. The guy is kind of a joke but at the same time he has bigger balls than most of the fighters out there. He gets my respect.

As for the fight I think Canelo wins. Khan can only win by staying away the whole fight and hardly getting hit - and when has he ever done that???

Also Why is Brook so desperate to fight Khan? He's only beaten one decent fighter himself. Stop fighting bums Brook and then maybe people will fight you! What does Khan get from a Brook fight? Money that's all.
