    Next big name fighter to take a fight as 4-1 underdog

    Was a great fight tonight to see a fighter take a huge risk and then show both his skills and weaknesses.

    Most fights in boxing these days involve a big name who is a 20-1 favourite.

    So who will be the next hero that this sport needs ?

      Hope I'm wrong but I can see Canelo taking advantage of Tim Bradley's warrior spirit and fighting at @156 in the future.

        Lots of guys that are not on top will fight anybody because its their chance , Khan thought he could steal it and tried but got caught , if he pulled of the great heist you would be jumping around like crazy , what cred did you give Floyd for fighting Canelo he was unbeaten at the time and Floyd did what Khan thought he could do , and Floyd is smaller than Khan and could beat Canelo again right now , Khan is not a Mayweather not close .

            How many current fighters are worth 30million pounds ?

            How many would take the risk Khan did ?

            Of course Floyd is a better overall fighter than Khan. But we'll never know who would win a fight wil we?

            Floyd never beat a 155 lb prime Canelo.

            This was the equivalent of Floyd fighting GGG at 160 risk wise.

            Boxing isn't always about just being the best. For the fans it's about being the bravest.

              Lots would fight Canelo I dont see anybody ducking him .

              Dont speak on behalf of all fans , many old school fans love the science aspect of boxing as its beautiful to behold , the brave that impresses you is very close to being ****** , Khan had no intention of being brave he wanted to steal the fight and not engage , the body shots and a few rounds brought that to halt .

              Khan won the early rounds , Floyd would continue to do that and not get caught , on the contrary Khan showed how Floyd would beat him again , you dont land that shot on Mayweather ever , Khan made some fundamental mistakes as he always does he fell for the feint and payed the price , Khan is not very good at the elite level .

              Dont make up equivalents they only work on paper trying to steer away from the facts at hand , Floyd beats Canelo every day of the week because he can exploit what Khan only thought he could .

                  Floyd wouldn't fight Canelo without an advantage.

                  True or not?

                  Floyd wouldn't ever take a fight where he was a 4-1 underdog

                  True or not ?
