Comments Thread For: Byrd: Khan Took Canelo Bout To Continue Chasing Mayweather

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former heavyweight champion Chris Byrd, who now actively trains fighters, believes Amir Khan (31-3, 19KOs) accepted a dangerous fight with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (46-1-1, 32KOs) in order to bait Floyd Mayweather Jr. to come out of retirement.

Khan is going to learn that he isn't on Mayweather's level the hard way.

I usually respect Byrd's POV but he's starting to lose some credibility with these Mayweather-Khan statements. Everyone knows Mayweather already ducked Khan for years and fought someone Khan already beat instead - Maidana. What makes Byrd think that Mayweather will suddenly fight Khan if he manages to beat Canelo at 155?

We all know (the historical record proves it) Floyd had to weight-drain Canelo to 152 to fight him. If Khan beats a non-weight-drained version of Canelo, a much better version than Floyd faced, that's just going to make Floyd even more reluctant to face Khan than ever before. It'll have the exact opposite effect of what Byrd is suggesting. Byrd must be hitting that Cali hydro lately? Where is he getting these loopy ideas from? He's starting to sound like some of the kids on this forum.. lol

Floyds all about money, IF khan can pull of a miricle and win (imo he wont) then the money for that fight may just be enough to lure floyd out, as i do believe he wants to hit that 50-0.
But when Canelo times them body shots as khan comes in... Its gonna stop all the movement and followed up is the eventual ko of khan.

You got that right.

[Nightfall]

waste of time. Khans not good nor smart enough to fight money. He's lost all his big fights and has'nt done nothing at welter. He actually was getting beat up by berto in sparring.Alvared ko's Con in their low standard PPV.

He sure is , Canelo by no means is a great unbeatable fighter but even if Khan were naturally his weight Canelo would still hammer Khan the way he will.

LOOOOOL but you are correct.

Seems like the real allure is supposed to be the sexiness of winning a 160lb belt vs a guy whos been KTFO twice for Floyd. If Khan can pull it off. I think Khan is just gonna get KTFO a third time, but respect to him for being willing to take the risk. I don't feel like he's taken much of a risk in awhile. Problem is I think he's trying to catch up on all the risk taking he's been missing in one fight.
