    One, you don't have to hit him flush. Two, this whole tie up, he doesn't even know how to operate from close and he certainly does not have the physical strength to tie Canelo up. Canelo is very good at working short punches from close, he'll slip in some uppercuts whenever Khan looks to smother.

      If Amir hides behind his gloves, Canelo will just bomb him with body shots.

      There's nowhere to run. Twelve rounds is a long time. He's fucked.

        If by some miracle he doesn't get knocked out, he will get countered tons, hurt multiple times as well and due to that he isn't gonna win many rounds. That's why I can't even see the bold.

          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.
          Countless = 2 now ?

            I think this match will look similar to Canelo-Cotto


            Khan will stay on his bycicle throwing pity pat shots with no effect while Canelo lands the most effective punches. UD goes to Canelo again

            that's ofc, assuming Khan doesn't fold like a lawn chair after some of the counters he's gonna eat

              I just don't see it. He could run, like literally run all night kind of like Lara did but he will suffer the same fate as Lara. When he sticks around long enough to exchange even a little bit, he'll get hit with something that will make his limited attacks all that more difficult to execute because of his fear of the pain.

                Canelo is going to outbox him as well as over power him.

                You will see Khan running early after he gets countered from one of those sloppy combinations he throws. Canelo is going to rip his body with bombs also, this fight will end by KO/TKO and it could be a head shot or body shot that does it.

                  He's going to get tagged eventually and we all know it. He needs to land to win and that's when Canelo will catch him. Khan lasts about five rounds, anything beyond that I'd consider good going.

                    Garcia knocked him out by punching him in the neck. Canelo doesn't even have to hit his chin to knock this dude out.

                      I believe this fight will mark the end of Khan's run at attempting to fight the big names. It could possibly be the end of his career, as well.
