Why are people calling Canelo-Khan a super fight?

[soul_survivor]

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.

So we're in agreement and Khan is almost always in fun fights and it's a huge risk/ballsy move by him so I can't fault him for it.

In terms of viewership, it will probably be a top 5 most watched fight this year.

I'm cool with that, as long as Skysport don't get their hands on it and turn it into a PPV.

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.

Do you personally feel Canelo warrants the tag, elite ?

I can't find any justification to say he is personally, then again I believe the Cotto fight was much closer than the average observer. Who else does he hold wins over ? Was Cotto elite ?

Depends on your definition of elite I would say.

He has some good wins like trout, lara & cotto.

Is he absolutely top of the elite pile like a Crawford, GGG, Ward or Kovalev?

No. But around the MW/LMW divisions I'd say he's the best along with GGG.

Stop being salty.

You should be angry at Kelly for mugging you off time and time again

I haven't seen a fun Khan fight since he left Roach. All of them have been complete stinkers.

Angry at Kell for what? He's not the one ducking like a female.

Algieir v Khan was a lot of fun, both guys going at it...cmon bro, don't try too hard. We get it, you don't like Khan but don't hurt your own credibility as a boxing fan.

lol wtf are you talking about? I'm being honest. He hasn't excited me since he left Roach and that's just a fact.

the fact that you have to pull up the Algieri fight, which wasn't entertaining, speaks volumes of that.

Compare that to the fights he had vs Maidana or Peterson or some of the fights before that. Nothing at all.

He stunk the place out vs Algieri.
