Comments Thread For: Amir Khan expects Canelo to weigh 175 on fight night

[FrankieBruno]

An old Cotto still has a better chin than any version of Khan

my point has nothing to do with khan

we all know his chin is weak

i am wondering though if canelo is having trouble making 155 and if he is using this "nelo weight" to get out of the GGG fight

"hey look guys i am small, i was born ready"

i felt he didnt look that good in his last fight, even at the weigh in, he looked a bit gaunt.

i fully expected him to knock cotto out within 5 rounds.

also does canelo always use bin bags during workouts?

thats never a good sign when a boxer is using bin bags to sweat, i just have this weird feeling the guy is having weight issues and should be fighting at 160, but is biting his own nose off to make a point that he is too small for GGG

[thack]

i hope for khan's health that he is mistaken. a guy like khan fighting a LHW is a disgrace for boxing

You're spot on, in my opinion Khan has more chance of being hurt than winning.......not good!

[Teetotaler]

As much as i hate the fat ginger why does he get ao much hate for his weight? JMWs like andrade, charlos and vanes weigh just as much or more. Its probably cause bumnelo stays fighting WWs

Alvarez Is Making Excuses

I have to laugh when I read reports that Saul Alvarez will insist on a catchweight of 155 pounds if he is to fight Gennady Golovkin. This is utter nonsense.

For starters, if Alvarez beats Amir Khan, his mandatory defence has to be against Golovkin at the middleweight limit of 160 pounds. Golovkin is under no obligation to agree to any catchweight below this and he would be crazy to do so.

If Alvarez ducks Golovkin at 160 pounds, then Golovkin will unify the middleweight division and hold all the belts and Alvarez will look like a coward.

If Alvarez is not confident of fighting in the middleweight division at the mandated weight, he should drop to junior middleweight and fight there and he would only have to go down one extra pound from the 155 pounds that he is demanding from Golovkin.

Alvarez is a terrific boxer, but he should never be allowed to make ****** demands of Golovkin when it's an important title fight. There are rules about weight and they should be adhered to by all contestants.

I personally think that Alvarez is running scared. Mayweather ducked and weaved into a victory against Alvarez, but Alvarez damn well knows that Golovkin will be very different, as he is a human wrecking ball that will crush Alvarez like a bug.

Because the others jmw's are making the weight to fight in a legitimate weight class.

What's to hate about that?

He probably is struggling to make 155, the Angulo fight was supposed to be at 154 and a day before the fight it was changed to 155.

yea thats what i think as well

when a boxer has to wear bin bags while training in extremely hot conditions, they usually are having some form of weight issues

canelo is getting older, every year it probably becomes harder to make these "nelo weights"

[playmaker]

It just baffles me as to why Khan has this opportunity, knocked to bits at lightweight, knocked to bits at light welterweight, avoided good fighters at welterweight .A faded name and very disliked in his country of residence.Hasn't fought anyone for years, struggled badly with Algieri.I can only put his chance down to calling everyone out but still no form?

Canelo doesn't need to come in at 175lbs against a runner.

Boy, you're bitter. Do you have a job?
