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

[HewJohnson]

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.

He was a great boxer and entertaining to watch as well. Fast hands. When he took the the Canelo fight was, clear sign he was only looking for big checks.

He would’ve been a great match up against Floyd in his prime.

What set off that narrative was Khan’s first two piece combo. The feel-out-stage from both. The difference is that Khan risked more in Round 1. A lot of that is pressure. Khan willing to commit as much power to see how Canelo responds, as they saw footage from Lara. To make such quick rights is banked on speed and timing, not that its effective in hurting a guy like Canelo whom has an iron chin. Lara hits harder than Khan to put in perspective...

Everything after that were timed shots from Canelo in which Khan had to flee and made Canelo missed. It’s not about Ring IQ in those instances, more about speed from two elites, and Khan has seasoned himself as speedy delivery hitter.

As we saw how the rounds progressed Canelo started hitting the body more. Just a carry to later rounds type of fight.

Look at B level fighters, rarely do you see them shoot conservatively with accuracy, Regardless of missing. Canelo knows what he’s doing.

I bet many of you don’t realize that Adelaide Byrd had Khan winning that fight doe...but but she loves Canelo doe

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

4-5 rds LoL

Spoken like a true Canelo hater

Let me see I also had Brook winning every rd against GGg up until the stoppage and I had Victor Ortiz winning every rd against Floyd up until the cheap shot.

Canelo fans are laughably bad at scoring fights. It exposes you as either a fanboy or as incompetent. And I do mean laughable. Too ridiculous not to be.

[hugh grant]

Khan was making nel o look like ortiz was making wilder look before lucky punch

[NORMNEALON]

I had kahn ahead but I also think that canelo was lying in wait, timing kahn for what happened . Doeent change the fact that kahn was ahead on points at the time of the KO for what its worth.

[UNBANNED]

Just hate

Khan won round 1 clean and was starting to get countered in round 2

Canelo won round 3 on and was in complete control starting on round 4

[Mooon]

Winning or not, it was only the sixth round. There was a long way to go and Khan usually fades after the sixth anyways.

[dibzvincent143]

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

I don’t know either. Bunch of useless movements and pitty pat punches but people here esp fans are claiming he was putting on a masterclass loool.
He wasn’t setting him up with his feints or anything.

But yep hell of a cherrypick by Nelo to avoid GGG at that time.

[Luilun]

If people judge a 12 round fight on the first 5 rounds Floyd Mayweather would have lost 50% of his fights
