[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Eddy Reynoso, trainer for the world middleweight champion of the World Boxing Council (WBC), Mexico's Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs), is working hard with his boxer in San Diego, as they prepare for the upcoming title defense against Amir Khan ( 31-3, 19 KOs) on May 7th at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

They know this fight is BS that's why they're selling it so hard and trying to justify it. They're so used to being boxing's darling they're surprised by all the negative coverage. Canelo is finding out it's hard being top dog. If he thinks this is pressure imagine the pressure he'll get if he drops the belt and doesn't fight GGG.

Khans a weak opponent...even at WW. Canelo wants to look devastating by KOing a fraud. Canelos the real deal proven by his opposition...it was getn harder for Khan to trick his fans with his opposition.

Sure he is....LOL

Much respect Kahn. After fighting monsters like Algerie you deserve this payday.

Huh? You should have stopped at...

I respect Eddy because I can't imagine it's an easy task managing the training camp of a fighter so popular so young in an age but to say this fight is about respect is pure nonsense. Khan fought Algieri and out of the three well known fighters who have fought him he looked the worst in performance...straight up cash out and nothing less.

LOL..so now Canelos coach is trying to sell Khan?

[TheMexHurricane]

Boxing's a business so Khan is making the best financial choice. Khan's best financial options are, in order of most money he could make to the least, are:

1) Mayweather
2) Pacquiao
3) Canelo

Make the most $$$ or gtfo!

I've never heard an opponent's coach praising the other fighter instead of saying how he's going to expose his flaws, beat him and that his fighter is confident of victory. Ever! I wouldn't be surprised if Canelo is told not to go for a TKO in the early rounds.
