    Is there any chance of Amir Khan getting a W over Canelo?

    I've been thinking about the posibilities of Khan getting an upset victory over Canelo, but I simply can't find a way. Canelo is not going to respect Khan's power.

    Khan is fast...yeah, but one of the most vulnerable fighters, especially to counters, and especially against hard punchers. Everytime Khan charges you have the feeling he's getting KO'd at any moment.

    A surprise is always welcome, but with a guy as big as Canelo pressing and throwing bombs, I don't think Khan will go thru 6 rounds.

    I'm not making a "discovery" here. Many people know this. What I'm trying to say is that Virgil Hunter should be very careful and keep that white towel close to him. We don't need a tragedy.

      It's not out of the realm of possibility. Stranger things have happened.

        He is taller, longer, faster (hand & foot), more experienced and the better boxer so yes he has a chance.

              Nope. No chance at all.


              This is a huge cherry pick for absolutely no reason.


              Just say this to yourself: Amir Khan is fighting for the lineal MW championship

                There is absolutely zero chance of khan winning. Bet all your money on a Canelo ko

                  It's extremely unlikely but it is possible. Khan has a weak chin but he is a skilled fighter with fast hands and feet and decent power. Canelo could have a really bad night and Khan could fight his best fight and still be standing at the end of 12 rounds. Then two judges could be extra kind to Khan and award him a split decision. I expect Canelo to easily win every round and KO Khan in 5 rounds or less. Canelo can match Khan's hand speed but with vastly superior accuracy, timing and power. Still Khan is too good of fighter to give him no chance to win. Khan does have a chance to win but it's a very small chance.

                    I don't think you believe that for a second.
