Comments Thread For: Khan: I Took Canelo Fight To Secure That Pound For Pound Spot

[UNBIASED BOXING]

No one should be blaming Khan for taking this fight. All the anger should be directed at Alvarez.

I only blame Canelo for ducking GGG.

In regards to this fight, I can't blame him. Decent named opponent (equals more $$), smaller, not-dangerous, and a glass chin? Hell yeah, when he's putting his future health on the line I don't blame him for taking this fight even if it's completely bull**** it was approved to happen.

canelo will do to khan what spence just did to algieri
and khan will be shut up for at least a little while

He'll be back soon enough, claiming he learned a lot from the beating, wasn't a real 155lb fighter and is back to feeling fit and strong and super fast at 147. Rinse and repeat. He never accepts defeats graciously, it's always the fault of the trainer or due to boiling himself down to the weight.

Oh, no anger here... I'm rather amused that Khan, who is coming up 2 weight classes, is a sucker for big shots & has a weak chin is taking this fight. Canelo is a young, skilled fighter with good power. Because Khan is always running his mouth with utter nonsense about how great he is, I will take extreme pleasure in watching Canelo KO this clown.

Agree. This guy has one of the biggest egos I've ever seen. Cares about his image so much. VERY delusional. This guy will be saying "there's a reason Floyd and Manny avoided me..." for a looooong time. He's desperate to be known as great and it's kind of sad.

That P4P spot doesn't have the same flair and isn't really as legit as when Mayweather held it for so long. Floyd never lost and had kind of a mystique about him. His mid fight adjustments, defensive mastery, and under-rated offense made him a special talent.

Khan on the other hand has already been knocked senseless twice, lost 3 and never looks that great anyway. His claim to fame is "speed", AND having a weak chin. Beating Canelo isn't going to make him the greatest fighter in the world like he seems to believe. It will only show how over-rated Canelo really was. Khan wants so bad to be like Mayweather was but no way in hell he is even close and never will be. And talking like it doesn't make it so.......

I like Canelo TKO 9

You are to kind, Khan's not going past 5. And I'm not seeing a TKO but a full KO with the chicken dance included.

Both spot on , I think Virgil Hunter is in more trouble than Canelo!

You're probably right. I could see the ref stopping it though if his chicken dance gets out of hand. Maybe we'll even get a little "stanky leg" in there as well. But it's hard to see Khan lasting unless he runs around and avoids exchanges on a ridiculous level which may happen. Wouldn't be surprised to hear boos from the crowd if Khan gets on his bike too bad....

[Larry the boss]

Yes, beat nelo and your no1 p4p. You have had a few losses, but that's down to bravado and recjklessmness

You will be no1, but staying there is the test

How does beating Canelo who is not even p4p top 5 make Khan p4p #1? how does that work?

[Can'tHoldMeBack]

Canelo not even a top 5 p4p fighter so how beating him gives you top spot?
