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

[aAgger]

canelo weighed 170-175 lbs a few years ago when he was younger and could make 154. canelo is now closer in his prime and older and as a result his body has grown. he is a BIG guy now. this is the reason why he cant make 154 because his body won't allow him to. this is the reaosn why he won't allow HBO to weigh him because if it showed his true fight night weight (180+ lbs). then his excuse of being too small for middleweight would absolutely be destroyed no question.

stop being infatuated by the gingerbread man and use ur head. canelo is a fraud feasting on smaller guys much like chavez jr and nonito dontnaire did. they're all frauds. but why cant u see this? please epxlain to me.

The fact that Canelo refused to get weighed on fight night is very su****ious. In an earlier interview, he said it himself that he could come in around 180-190 on fight night. And then in a later interview, he denied it and said he'd come in around 170. He knows that if people found out he was around 180 on fight night, it would make him look really bad, beating on a chinny guy 20 lb lighter than him and destroying his excuses about not being a true 160 lb middleweight to avoid GGG.

Weight did not beat you Khan, TIMING DID...AGAIN!

Not like he got inside and Bullied Khan using his weight advantage, he timed him so perfectly. Only great timing can get you a clean shot like that leaving your opponent out COLD before he hits the Canvas

[gmc_rfc_06]

Yes.
And, as some posters said above, he even looked smaller than in the Cotto fight.

He was.

He said he was training for a fast guy and would come in lighter, he looked smaller than he did against Cotto. He looked very similar to the Lara fight, another fast opponent.

let ur love of this fraud go. he is spitting on boxing. u think other great mexican fighters would do what canelo is doing???????? he will never be great like other mexican legends: barrera, morales, pacquiao, chavez sr., marquez, finito lopez, etc. in fact he isn't even the best mexican boxer today. juan francisco estrada poops all over canelo easily, and he is far more of a man.

canelo is the biggest fraud in this sport and quite possibly history. it doesnt take a genius to see this.

at 25 he has taken the risks, more than most active fighters in their mid 30's like you know who... he already said ill fight him at 160 and 24 hrs later ggg is already talking about jacobs, no more step asides and no more excuses from lil g team, accept your B side status and take the fight at 160 , dont price your self out of this fight...

[turnedup]

He never once weighed 175.

At 154, his highest fight night weight was 171. At 155, he was still 171 against Lara. He's leaner now than he was then, but the weight is still very much similar. There is no way he was close to 10lbs heavier against Khan than he was against Lara, people are just doing as always with Canelo, speculating.

His best wins are all against guys of a similar weight.

He weighed 174 vs Angulo...https://twitter.com/danrafaelespn/st...28943640305666

"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.

So are most fighters fishy to you? Because there's only a handful of boxers who step on the scale fight night so you fickle internet dweebs could sit here and nitpick at it lol its pathetic.

That wasn't 154, as the initial post suggested.

I repeat, his highest fight night weight at 154 was 171.

Yeah, sure...
Now you sound like GGG is ducking Canelo at 160... Yeah, sure...

[-Kev-]

Still delusional. That's why I have no sympathy for Khan. Canelo at 180lbs lol. Algieri's punches felt like 180lbs of force behind them too probably, for that chin. He's just so delusional, I really hope DSG knocks him out in to the stands.
