Khan needs to only throw the jab, and occasional 1-2

    As I mentioned, Lara is limited defensively, the difference between Khan and Lara defensively is that Lara controls distance better but more importantly has a way better defensive guard. Look at all the success Peterson, Garcia and Maidana had when trapping Khan against the ropes, they were able to easily penetrate through the guard, it's almost laughable really. Lara on the other hand is mostly susceptible to the body when you have him trapped.

    And no, Lara isn't super fast on his feet but one can easily see that he gets into position faster than Khan does. The bold is false, I'd know because I rooted for those two and I was frustrated, I don't even like Lara's style at all, I find it very displeasing to watch but I'm gonna call a spade a spade.

    Angulo fought like a man possessed and he exposed Lara's limitations but Khan has those same limitations as well PLUS more. Molina is underrated, didn't look too good against K9 but he was coming off of a long layoff, he reminds me a lot of Herrera but a dirty version.
    I understand what you are attempting to convey but one salient point you are leaving out is that Lara is more of a counter puncher who doesn't like to throw an awful lot of punches when he is challenging huge punchers.

    Khan on the other, is your typical balls to the walls fighter, who goes for the knockout almost every time out and that is why he is easier to hit. Just remember, that one has to bring ass in order to get ass and that has been Amir's problem and the story of his career. It has been dogging him for much of his career and is the major reason why he has never truly lived out to his fullest potential.

    The times that he wants to brawl he should be boxing because his chin is not made for slug fests. On the other hand, Lara is wiser. He only takes minimal risks, when he is facing an opponent who isn't capable of hurting him and those that he deems are not a serious threat or danger of hurting him.

    For example, to took very limited risks against Canelo because he knew that he couldn't match the firepower of Alvarez. Therefore, he played it safe and cautious to avoid any necessary punishment and what had probably cost him that fight.

      People are over emphasizing the size advantage

      Khan knows what he is up against, when he is focused and knows he dangers ahead, he is on his A Game

      Canelo will more than likely under estimate Khan and pay the price

        Another point that is being overlooked is that Canelo will be in steamroller mode with no reason not to take a shot in order to give one. Kahn is known for having no power. How is he going to keep a notoriously rugged guy off of him? With a Mayweather or Lara Canelo had to keep an eye on defence. What happens when defence matters little because you're hunting down a guy who is fragile and lacks the ability to hurt you?

        Little guys who shock bigger fighters are those with power + speed (Pacquiao, early Tyson, etc). Having only hand speed without the power or footwork to go along with it presents a huge problem. Math can't create a solution here, only miracles can.

          If Khan throws any more than a 1-2 combo he will be in front of canelo too long and will be ko'd
          You been watching them troy king/ego videos too.

            Khan fights in front of his opponent too long. First time Canelo catches him with that lead left hook its over. 4th round ko.

              Khan could dominate for 12 rounds and he'd still lose by split decision

                    Not sure what round, but the way Floyd landed his hook around Cotto's guard and it would make him turn. The exact same way. Its like do people really watch fights or do they just skim through it?? If Tom Brady went for the deep ball every chance he got people would figure him out and he'd be average. If a HB just ran down field every time he got the ball he'd be average. Khan is cashing out, people keep talking about how much they respect the fight but i don't. Its ****** what he's doing.

                      Steamroller with a Barry West engine. Its really over for Amir. He's gonna use the fact that he dared to fight Canelo as a reason as to why he got knocked out and not his Milano Cookie Waxpaper grade chin
