Why are people calling Canelo-Khan a super fight?

[LacedUp]

so says the guy promoting the fight? sue him

Klitschko v Fury would be bigger but it's far from confirmed, there's nothing else on the horizon bigger, unless Stevenson v Kovalev gets made but neither of those guys do Khan/Canelo numbers.

Far frm confirmed? It's pretty close to being confirmed and we know it's happening next.

How would Kell Brook Vs Amir Khan be a super fight then?

Apparently Khan is coming off 3-4 iffy performances against better opponents than Kell Brook
Yet here we have Kell Brook coming off a clinch fest stinker with Shawn Porter which he barely won then a stinker against Bum Bum Dan, Frankie Gavin now soon to add to the list Kevin Bizier.

Yet you think this is a super fight?
Let me guess but they're British doe.

Because it's a 50-50 fight between two big names. It would be a super-fight in the UK, not world wide.

Brook's resume might not be the best, but neither is Khan's for that matter - doesn't mean it shouldn't be a super-fight.

Who did Hearns fight before he fought Ray Leonard the first time? He was still considered an absolute monster and the fight was the most anticipated fight of all times probably, at least financially.

Is Canelo even an elite fighter ? I know Khan ain't.

For me this is another glorified mismatch as GGG vs Lemieux was, only it'll do more sales for one reason or another.

Boxing is a business and this is prize fighting. Can't really knock Khan for taking the fight but this is pretty low from Canelo.

I would say Canelo is an elite fighter, yes.

Khan hasn't proved he is no. And yes it's definitely a mis-match which is why it shouldn't be billed as a super-fight in my opinion.

The butthurt of Brook stans is in overload

Yes, this is going to be the next Ali vs Frasier. It's going to be a war: Canelo risks his title against iron chinned Khan. The suspense is too much.

Fury's been talking aabout a surprise opponent but who knows, he might just be trolling. Even then, you have to pick a world heavyweight championship fight or a fight featuring one of the biggest ppv stars ever to find a fight bigger than Khan/Canelo. That ain't so bad.

I must have missed this. Who is calling this a "super fight?"

We are still in February, so more could happen.

But not denying it's a good fight. But I've missed worse fights than this in all honesty.

Incl. Mayweather vs Pacquiao

I have missed, as in not been able to watch better / more important fights. Like May-Pac I missed.

But yeah it's a good fight and undoubtedly one of the ones to watch out for this year.
