Was Khan’s biggest career mistake taking on Canelo Alvarez?

[boliodogs]

I don't know if he would have made more money fighting Brook. He made about 13 million for fighting Canelo.

His career mistake was ducking 147. Not avenging his loss to Garcia.

Then calling out top guys like that would somehow make up for not doing anything in boxing besides stalk Floyd Mayweather and Manny

This shows khan won 1 rd, 2 if you want to give him a rd he tied in punches but landed less power shots in. So your assessment is on pt

Canelo was easily winning in my opinion and I gave Khan no rounds. To me the Canelo KO win was a sure thing and just a matter of when. Canelo landed the far harder punches every round.

He never even tried to avenge a single loss. Prescott begged him to rematch him and Garcia and Peterson were always available and in his weight class. Khan brings in good money because of his very loyal fans and he could have got those rematches but never tried. I think Khan did his best fighting when trained by Roach and became a worse fighter after leaving Roach.

He was not in any way shape or form of scoring winning vs canelo,& Khan is not basic without his speed,hes just too easily broken regardless of speed,& he has ****** strategy when it comes to going 12 rds, because he gases out by like the 5th rd due to him wasting his energy running around swinging like shenenae nonstop.

All he was doing was much worse of the same thing most nelos recent power puncher opponents have been doing, jabbing meaningless weak arm punches while getting countered & broken down rd by rd til Nelo wins later rds & decision/kos them later. The reason that has happened vs a prime jacobs was because Nelo hits harder than ggg these days & because he makes them leave hands at home from his counters .

(ggg is a heavier handed puncher,but Nelo loads up like 80% of his punches & gets everything behind a punch that is traveling much faster than gggs & his punching is always delivered in combos or combo counters fighters don't see. Ggg throws arm punvhes when it matters most,& Sanchez LITERALLY teaches fighters to arm punch with weights in their hands til they become ggg typed stiff jabbers. But he ******ly laughs at nelos punches & calls it slapping despite nelo practicing true mex style based on hooks to the body just like JCC,ggg has never been true mex style. Bottom line though is that Khan was actually the same size as nelo but like many fighters like him whom boil down he sux against men who aren't smaller because hes weak chinned has no power & likes to give up easily.

Canelo is a very hard puncher but I think GGG is a harder puncher. Canelo has a KO percentage of 64% compared to GGG winning 83% of his pro bouts by KO. During his long time as middleweight champion GGG KOed 22 opponents in a row. Canelo had a nice KO streak of 7 KOs in a row. Excellent but far short of 22 KOs in a row.

Khan’s biggest mistake is thinking he’s the terminator and not fighting to his strengths and rather getting into firefights and exposing his biggest weakness. Khan with a chin could’ve been a monster with his speed and reach..and he could’ve done more even without the chin but his ego..

I 100 agree. He was better with Roach! Yeah he had weaknesses but that offense made up for it. No way that version of Khan would gave struggled with guys he did at 147.

Turned Khan into a highlight reel??? He was that before that fight..He was already a punchline before Canelo

[Larry the boss]

not sure why people keep saying Khan was winning that fight, he wasnt at all

[QueensburyRules]

Rather than fighting Kell Brook at Wembley stadium for more money? The weight would have favored Khan since Brook was between weight classes. Since losing to Canelo, Khan’s time off has led him to lose his speed and accuracy. Without his speed, he’s a basic fighter. He was winning the Canelo fight, but we all know that the KO was coming. Canelo was smart throwing that left hook to the body to make Khan move to the right where the right hand was coming. Anyone else feel that fight was pointless and turned Khan into a highlight reel? Prime Khan would have given Crawford problems.
