Comments Thread For: Khan: I Should Have Never Taken Canelo Fight - He Was Too Big

[Flabble Scrote]

Khan is really fast and long but he's not that smart in the ring, imo he's just not a world class boxer, he's a great athlete who boxes well

He is smarter in the ring than out of it.

He really is a fool.

Khan is a basic fighter, a great jab, a great one two, very fast hands and lightening quick simple combinations.

Only got one dimension but does that dimension very well.

Had enough about him to made Mayweather duck him though.

Khan had the tools to beat Floyd, and Floyd lacked the one punch power to end the fight.

Actually.........

Floyd fought Canelo at catchweight under 154, lol. Khan fought Canelo at 160. Not even close.

The fight was fought at 'Canelo weight of 155' for the 160 strap, which is only 3 pounds from the 152 catchweight of Mayweather vs Alvarez.

Huh??

Spence is only 5’9” and he is 152 after rehydration on fight night. MW like Canelo are 170 on fight night and above. Probably not a good idea.

Trust me, Spence rehydrates to more than 152lbs. Remember that's the IBF so the fight day weigh in is early in the day. By fight night Spence is a big dude. He is a little taller than Canelo and walks around near the same weight as Canelo, plus he hits like a mule kick.

Khan barely beat Algieri and you're trying to tell me Mayweather ducked Khan. HILARIOUS!! Mayweather saw right through Khan's charade and was having none of it. If Khan had fought his way to Mayweather then maybe but Floyd was not going across the pond and the PPV for that fight would not have done numbers so it never made sense.

Wasn't Lo Greco at one time going to fight Malignaggi?

I bet Khan vs Porter will be after this. If Khan beats Porter, expect Khan vs Garcia II.

Didn't Khan get $13 million for the Canelo fight? That kind of money would make anyone at 147 to move up. The money was so good he couldn't say no. Khan had nothing to lose and made some serious money, so it was a win win situation.

True, nothing to lose other than his life (sarcasm). Seriously though, most people would risk their life for a $13 million USD reward. So he was really not a fool by accepting that fight. Everyone including himself knew what the outcome was gonna be, and I admire his guts for trying against a much bigger guy who can actually box and punch.

Well no sh.t, Sherlock

And Berto did


He was his mandatory, but it wouldn't be the first time Floyd ducked a mandatory.

That what makes a true champ, you fight who is put in front of you don't cherry pick your way through your career.

Floyd chose not to fight Khan.

I agree but bit harsh , like many boxers he says some ****** stuff but he stands out for his courage imo , maybe he's avoiding Brook a bit but he will fight anyone else no probs
He does a lot for charity for his people in Pakistan, I think he seems a genuine good guy

I agree totally with your boxing summation and I don't remember if he was off a loss when the Mayweather talk happened, but he's someone Floyd would have liked to avoid just quietly.
Khan is bigger than Zab Judah and his chin is even better too lol

Floyd definitely knew how to pick the right time and weight for his opponents
