If Amir Khan avoids being hit on the chin...

[fanofslug]

Say he manages to avoid being hit flush on the chin against Canelo, can he outbox him using his speed? I mean this is the only chance he really has of pulling it off. If he can protect his chin the whole 12 rounds, can he tie up and frustrate Canelo and possibly win a decision? Canelo will obviously be looking for a KO or TKO so he doesn't get criticised.

He can definitely win this. He might be a great bet depending on the odds.

They should inject his chin/neck with some sort of PED. I'll call Memo.

[GrandpaBernard]

I don't see it.

Amir is sloppier than manny and Alvarez is a good counterpuncher

Saul's best punch the left hook has been responsible for countless KOs on Amir.

Ginger can win via decision if need be.

The problem is that speed is only of the only really good skills Khan has, and good combinations.

I wouldn't say he has much of a good defence, he often gets hit. Footwork is ok, not great. Doesn't have a high Ring IQ. No inside game. Not a particularly powerful puncher. Not a great chin and especially bad recovery time after being hurt.

It's hard to see how somebody with that skill set and those flaws can beat a top fighter with a size advantage. He would need to execute a game plan like never before. I'm not saying he can't win but he will need the perfect plan and box the best he ever has in his life by some distance.

The reason why i still give him half a chance is Canelo was less than convincing against Lara and Trout, and was schooled by Floyd. All guys that can use speed and be awkward for a flat footed Canelo. It's definitely interesting...

I'm betting my house on Khan, and so should everyone in this forum. Trust me.. PM me if you did it to know.

If enough force hits Khan Anywhere on his body, It can offset his Equilibrium.

I bet Khan has been knocked out in his house after he had trodden on a Plug.

[SunSpace]

Khan has absolutely no chance. It's only a matter of when he gets knocked out, not if. Best case scenario, he lasts for a while and people take pity on him for his effort, calling it brave. I don't know how anyone will watch this. It's a circus show, practically. What is this, gladiator? And Canelo won't fight GGG this year. I bet you he's going to use Mayweather as a way out of that fight.

[Dr Rumack]

Obviously he can win if he doesn't get knocked out. He's a high volume fighter facing a lazy, low volume fighter. But Khan can't throw in volume without exposing himself. He will surely catch clean counters from Canelo and I can't see him standing up to them.
