Comments Thread For: Khan To Canelo: Time To Step Up - Fight Golovkin!

[ironmt]

Challenge my azz, this was all about a paycheck.

Even If It was, It took balls to follow through and fight a guy that out weighed him by 20-30lbs. None of these guys fight for free and It's always about the paycheck. I don't think anyone on this board gets up and goes to work other than for the paycheck.

If you're not smart enough to understand why Kahn would move up 2 weight classes for a career payday instead of actually fighting a legitimate challenge in his own weight class then.....you're really lacking in the intelligence department. No I can't sugar coat it. You're all a bunch of ****ing morons. Mayweather did the same thing vs Canelo, no one said he had balls. The end result was just different. I'd love to see Pacquiao move up and face Canelo. Nevertheless you're ******ed if you think a guy who hasn't fought any legitimate fighters in his proclaimed weight division has balls for moving up 2 divisions to get a payday higher than what he could get for any other fight. All Kahn wanted was a big fight without him actually having to win a big fight. Cong**** to him on that. I'm not mad at him. He won me money by going to sleep as I expected . I thought he was going to be carried away. Hopefully that punch will wake his ass up. And his limited success vs canelo should give him some balls to face a real WW.

Valid point.

Don't get why everyone is giving Khan so much credit for taking a risk. He got paid very handsomely to do what the whole world expected, which was take a nap. He wasn't gonna take a lot of punishment because he doesn't have the chin for it, so where was the risk?

A ballsy move would be like when Canelo fought Lara, who brings nothing to the table but world class skills. Now that doesn't excuse him from the GGG situation but i believe that fight will be next.

He also took on Trout under similar circumstances --too much risk, too little reward, mostly financially--, but other than those two fights, he has only taken fights where he has a clear size advantage --except vs. Angulo--. AFAIK, he has never ever taken on a guy bigger than him, but please correct me if I am wrong.

That's ridiculous. 20-30 lbs? Yeah right. Do you have any PROOF of what their weights were on fight night, to be making such a ridiculous statement? Canelo did look huge vs. Cotto but not so much vs. Khan. I'd say the difference was about 10 pounds only, but I haven't found any credible web site showing the weights of the two fighters on fight night. My estimation is: Khan around 160-165, Canelo 170-173, which makes a 10-pound approximate difference only.

g the guy just went up in weight to fight a giant

Khan and Canelo are the same size.

When did GGG duck Ward?

I mean Ward was trying to get free from his contract and after he did, due to such long layoffs, he has taken two tune up fights.

With that said, Canelo needs to fight triple G at 160 and quit all this 155 catch weight bull****.

[Carmaine]

He was looking for a big fight and got offered $13million, of course he was going to take it. He was always going to get knocked out.

The guy blatantly ducking Brook shouldn't be talking about other fighters.

I dont doubt that both are possibly dodging fighters. But financially, no one else could have offered more money for either.

But at least Khan had the balls to go up in weight rather than forcing canelo to drop down at a much lower catch-weight.

Khan and Canelo are the same size.

you are joking right

[pmays]

Khan needs to step up and face the fighters calling him out like brook... Stop ducking
