    Hard to say but Canelo shouldn't have that problem.

Khan is going to have to box fundamentally differently if he is going to put up a serious fight. His hand speed is definitely faster, his legs are quick, but the question some people are not asking themselves is - how can Khan use those things to defend effectively against Canelo?
    Exactly, all they talk about is his speed, but never mention the fact that he is just a speed bag literally anything you throw lands on Khan

      So we can add poor professionalism to Khan's cons.

        Algieri is the hardest puncher in the division. Khan's neck rolls have made his chin so strong that it makes it seem like Algieri is a light puncher

          There was literally nothing to gain.
          It was meant as a "showcase" fight for Khan but he ended up looking lousy. His flaws once again were very apparent.

            Unless Khan fights to survive, he won't make it past 6 rounds.
