Speed will give Canelo problems, only if Khan can handle 12 rounds of Canelo's power. If he traps Khan against a rope or corner, this is not going 12 rounds. Khan's grab tactic will not help him in this one.

Khan hasn't been looking too fast recently

If algeri can catch khan, canelo most certainly can also

for 3 rounds maybe

First of all... I wouldn't pay too much attention to a man who's name is Ashley.
Second of all... With all the weight khan is putting in recently to get to the 155 limit, I'm pretty sure his speed will be greatly affected. Not to mention his stamina.

Why does everyone keep talking about Khan's speed when we've never seen him fight at 155? His speed may not carry up to that weight. And why is no one talking about Canelo's speed? Canelo can put together 3-4 punch combinations. His feet are slow but his hands are fast. How did this fight go from being a disgrace of a mismatch to people saying it'll be competitive? We gotta sit thru two mismatches and aren't even guaranteed they'll fight each other in September. As long as the fans keep accepting this they'll keep doing it.

"Khan's speed will tickle Alvarez"

"Alvarez's power will fold Khan"

This is the biggest fight of Khan's career...****** details like his slight speed advantage aren't going to win him this fight it will be a combination of everything he has.

Khan will do ok until he's tagged then .....it's over , I actually see this as a brutal knockout that may not look great for future negotiations and the obvouis weight excuse may not carry that much weight given how Amir is talking about how he will win and how he may even stop him late on .....too much talking again.

This Theo Is A Nobody We've Heard Of Over His 13 Yrs Until Now! Still A Nobody

Khan will get train wrecked by Canelo early, speed will not propose any problems. AND when Khan gets knocked cold, laying there twitching, then all the experts can describe, "Oh well everyone knew Khan was just a puffed up Jr Welter at best, getting a payday". His jaw doesn't have Teflon in it now, his neck is skinny, he's gonna get destroyed by Canelo. What a guy won't do for $8M! Next.
