Why do ppl say Khan was beating Canelo before the stoppage?

[JohnCastellanos]

I gave him the first 2 rounds, after that Canelo figure him out

It's hard for me to pretend a lhw clenelo is unbeatable when lil Floyd manhandled him, and Khan out boxed him 4-5 rounds...

Is the higher weight classes skill that far from the ww, jmw classes

[pretty ste]

Me too I thought he won the first 2 rounds the third was close Canelo made the better adjustments with smart body shots those who say Khan won the first 5 rounds were drunk that night

He was beating him, but that’s because Canelo was basically just baiting him and gauging his movements, and then kaboom.

But that was an easy fight for Canelo.
Khan, Kirkland, JCC, Liam...all easy fights.

[keepemup]

Because the announcers suggested so.

No but the speed is way different.

He definitely was winning the fight, that version of Khan was very good at that time. The weight was what killed him, along with him already not having that great a chin.

Canelo's timing was bound to get him eventually, better sooner then later.

Not just the speed people forget Cotto was looking like Tyson at mw, but got blown up was sadaam Ali later at lower weights...

160-175 those divisions just lack the skills of smaller divisions, with canelo going to 75 we was able to get a guage on a fighter like ward who is overrated as all hell and struggled to his two fights vs kkk

That was the last time people mayyybbeeee thought Khan sti had it, which he did. But he picked an unwinnablw fight.
Oh well, he got paid $13M.
Not bad.

Crawford just closed his boxing careers casket door on him last year.

Unfortunate, taking that Canelo fight really ruined Khan's career. He was actually making major improvements in his balance and technique with Hunter at the time, was in phenomenal shape, and his physique was improving everything was going well for him.

He seemed out of shape in the Crawford fight, lunging like crazy and out of balance again, just not a good version of Khan at all. He took it for the payday pretty much. The last fight he had although he had an easy opponent, he looked in much better shape and his balance was once again looking much better as well.

He's a lost cause at this point though, stick a fork in em.
