Comments Thread For: Khan Admits: At First Hunter Told Me To Stay Away From Canelo

[elfag]

Hunter is no fool. The reason Kahn did everything possible to keep away from danger vs Algeri is because of what Hunter trained him to do. Kahn feels so snubbed by May and Pac that he's letting his ego pull him into the Canelo fight. One one hand I admire that he's pursuing greatness but this crosses the fine line between bravery and foolishness.

Hunter watched Pac vs Alegeri and saw algeri completed destroyed, being dropped 6 times and was like "yep this cat is still dangerous for Khan, he isnt over 35 and his KO ratio is like 40%, I swear to god Khan if you get your ass knocked out one more time we're eating ramen noodles for dinner every night"

He has no chance of not staying in the pocket and keeping on his toe for 12 rounds....impossible to not be tagged and broken down, he's not mayweather and canelos power and timing will sooner or later catch him and finish him, the disclpline a fighter must have to keep on his toes for 36 minutes is unreal.....even sugar ray leonard when he boxed hagler slowed down and had to have some rounds flat footed...but the big difference is Leonard's chin was was solid and he was able to absorb some big shots...Khans chin cannot take a shot..canelo knocks out Khan as soon as gets his timing right....

This, his defense is wide open, hes going to get hit and hit really clean at that. Then he trys to brawl like hes prime morales when he gets tagged and his chin dont support that.

Everyone cries that fighters only take fights they are certain to win but when a guy chases the best fighters going around and takes a risky fight he's likely to be KOed, they complain and call him delusional.

Problem is that Amir didn't earn those fights. In fact, never mind earning them, he didn't even ATTEMPT to earn them like Berto did (he made many attemps and was close to earning it more than once, ie. against Ortiz and against Guerrero).

While Amir was calling out Floyd, Floyd was busy unifying titles and fighting mandatories at BOTH welterweigh and super welterweight, and then he made the biggest fight of the century, which was also a three belt unification mind you.

What was Khan doing all that time?

Exactly. He wasn't doing squat except ducking Kell Brook.

You know, when news of the MayPac fight came out, Khan had nothing lined up. And then Kell Brook called him out and Amir flat out ducked him and chose to fight Chris Algieri instead.

Then he expects Floyd to fight him? Defaq is that ****! Floyd taking on dangerous fighters (and champions mind you) like Pac, Maidana, Canelo, and Cotto, and Amir is fighting who? And still thinks he's in the same bracket?

If Khan took the Kell Brook fight and won, he would have had basically all the things Floyd looks for in a super fight. He would have had a name, a big selling ppv, would have made lots of fans too, and would have had a belt too, which is something Floyd has been targetting the whole time considering that most of his opponents were world champions or ranked high in pound for pound rankings (except Berto, Guerrero was a mandatory).

He could have called out Floyd as the IBF world champion seeking to unify titles. The fight could have been promoted as the battle to become undisputed champion. I don't think Floyd has ever been undisputed champion before, so that could have been another selling point for the fight.

EVERYONE would have rallied behind Khan for the fight, Floyd would have probably run towards Khan on his own without Khan even needing to call him out.

Instead, Khan ran away with his tail between his legs from that opportunity. I don't understand how anyone can blame Floyd, or Pac for that matter, for not taking this guy seriously. Those guys have done so much and achieved so much, taking on so many risks and tough challenges, and this little brat just thinks he gonna get a super fight for doing jack squat? Come on mayn!

Taking on Canelo, that kind of thing is what he should have done before Pac and Floyd retired, now it's too late.

No trainer of a WW would be happy about facing Canelo, unless they could weight drain Canelo...we know which coward did this

Did this so called 'coward' call Golden Boy Promotions and tell them to offer him a 150 catchweight? Cause last time I checked, Golden Boy said they would fight him at 150 and he actually said no 152 is okay you don't have to go that far.

Oh and didn't Canelo win that WBA strap he was defending at a 150 catchweight?

Ooooh! Didn't Canelo weigh in at 153lbs in the fight he had just before facing Floyd? So he was weight drained by a whooping 1lbs yeah?

Oh hey wait a minute, didn't Floyd weigh in at 150 pounds on fight night? So Canelo was weight drained by 1 pound against a guy who couldn't even make the stipulated catchweight?

Wow man, this guy must really be some kind of super coward ne?

You're gonna regret not taking his advice mate...
