Comments Thread For: Theophane: Amir Khan's Speed Will Trouble Canelo Alvarez

[Boxfan83]

Hand speed is overrated when its not complimented with superior reflex. Reflex beats speed and Canelo has great reflexes. Khan has a weak chin and guys with great reflexes usually KO the f out of guys like Khan. Terrible fight no matter how anyone tries to promote it.

I've never seen a fighter with a shyttier jaw than Khan. All Canelo has to do is almost land a punch and he will KO Khan.

not true. danny garcia has no reflexes and he did it.

I agree, however, Canelo is a really smart, strong, accurate puncher. He's going to catch Amir in-between those 75 punch combinations when Amir gets sloppy and it's going to happen often.

This fight could well end up being like Gamboa v Crawford, Kahn can will get some early rounds and then Canelo willl start to impose his size.

This could turn out to be interesting : the chinny boxer against the ponderous killing puncher.

If Khan does anything but box and run he dies!!!!

He must be on his toes at all cost and never be on the ropes!!!

He must use the jab 80 percent of the time and be quick to move when Can is trying to get set!!!

I just don't think Khan can survive any strong shot or any knockdown NOT ONE !!!!!

Good words

Khan cant box and move for 12 rounds without being hit. Even Alegeri rattled him. Canelo will ruin him, Khan's defense is wide open and canelo has fast hands himself.

This could resemble the Alvarez vs Hatton fight wherein Matthew was able to throw and land some nice solid shots on Canelo. Of course, Khan is more skilled than Hatton, and he could apply clinching as part of the overall strategy.

Khan's Speed? Like a Hummingbird against an Crow. Ha

Yea Khan's speed and fast hands and 140lb frame and no power and the weak child jaw will endanger Canelo red. Canelo took a powder puff fight.
Mexico has never won a war-ever and Mexicans are not known for bravery or courage. The list of mexicans War heroes is very short if any at all. Canelo is your typical mexican looking for the easy way out. Typical lazy Mexican.

Funny though Si' Speed What a Hoot?
