Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: Canelo Was Around 180-Pounds, I Didn't Expect That

Oh stop it Khan he was between 165 to 170 you were at least 160

[mathed]

180 pounds...... Not a middleweight doe, lololol

Lol Khan is an NSB poster. Don't let HBO weigh you, and their wildest imaginations come to life about your weight.

Everyone knew this would happen. Canelo can make 160 easy. Not sure what the problem is.

He didn't look any bigger than normal. I sincerely doubt he'd come in heavier than he's ever done for a fighter that was planning on being mobile.

Just everyone guessing so all you got is opinions based on visuals. He looked the same to me as other fights where there were unsubstantiated reports that he came in at 175. That is to say he looked to come in at roughly 175 give a lb or 2.

What does that mean? He fights at a higher weight than GGG and many other MWs. Maybe even some smaller SMWs come in at only 175.

Canelo looked great. He can cause GGG problems if he weighs in at 160. If GGG is weight drained to 155 then Canelo is a favorite in my book.

Cotto drained Geale to 157. Those 3 lbs made a big difference to Geale's performance. No reason for Golovkin to go down 5lbs to fight a fighter who comes in at 175.

2 big reasons to go down to 154 to fight a fighter who comes in at 152. What re those reasons? Legacy and Money. And not in that order.

Canelo was no more than 175lbs but the difference is that canelo has starved himself to get 155 and then to put all that missing bulk back on after the weigh in....unlike Khan who actually put weight on to be 155 so there was no natural bulk....but it's makes no difference as you can't put bulk and muscle on your chin....he took a full fledged SUZY Q right on his fragile chin simple as that

I thought he was making excuses when i saw the headline. But he was merely giving his thought on his brutal layout.

[turnedup]

"He's between This and That"

Well he refuses to get on the scales on fight day....I have always found fighters that don't do that to be massively fishy and not wanting to show just how much they drained to make weight in the first place. Amazing how bigger names in the sport have no problem doing it though.

[Divine Hammer]

wow not surprised at all. canelo is a frickin fraud. this is worse than what chavez jr was doing!!! at least chavez jr was fighting middleweights. wow.
