  • Khan needed to impose his will with speed and power.

    Khan should have been more aggressive and imposed his will with his speed and power while keeping his distance.
    Canelo was struggling early in the fight to adjust to Khans speed.
    Khan should have imposed his power and speed just like Mayweather did against Canelo.
    Mayweather was aggressive and didnt allow Canelo to let his hands go because canelo knew he would be countered Floyd has the speed to punch first and get out.
    Khan decided to just box and was successful however Canelo eventually closed the distance and was able to catch Khan.
    Canelo adjusted thats why he closed the distance and Khans corner should have told Khan to adjust especially in the 5th and 6th round.
    Khans legs cant continue to box and move for 12 rounds his style allowed canelo to catch him.

    You're forgetting the part where Khan can do none of those things. Floyd doesn't need to run or give ground because he can stand in the pocket and trade with counters...he also has quite the amazing inside game..and outside...and mid range.. Hits harder...better chin...accuracy..brain... :/

    Basically he'd have to be better at being Canelo than Canelo was being...and that's impossible for Khan. Canelo outlanded him by a fair deal and was the superior being.

      Khan doesn't have the power or durability to handle Canelo. He weighed 161 lbs on fight night (per him), while Canelo was probably around 170-175 as per usual. The thing is, Canelo is a natural big boy and Khan is best suited for 140-147 range.

        he was doing everything right in there, he was up against a bigger stronger fighter, it was only a matter of time till he got caught

        i was impressed by how he fought, he has shown some improvements, not as reckless as he was under roach, i liked his movement.

        he'll be tough to beat in a rematch with garcia.

        his power is suited for 147

          Khan was hit with bodyshots that slowed him right down. Secondly Khan doesn't have the boxing brains to execute what you are suggesting.

            Just because he has fast hand speed doesnt mean he can fight like floyd.

              You can't compare Khan to Floyd.

              You just can't.

                  Im not suggesting he fight like floyd but learn from the tactics floyd used.

                  Khan needed canelo to respect him instead of chasing him.

                  He needed to throw hard and fast combination so canelo would think twice about throwing bombs and left hooks.

                  Because khan was boxing and running, it allowed canelo to chase him and hunt him down.

                  That is the reason why majority of people predicted a knockout becuase they knew canelo would catch him eventually. Khan cant sustain running for 12 rounds he doesnt have the legs and always makes costly mistakes.

                  Khan needed to show canelo his boxing skills early and throw hard combination stay close to the pocket and he would be more composed instead of running for his life for 12 rounds.

                  Im a khan fan but as soon as canelo starting throwing wild left hooks it was obvious he would eventually catch him.

                  Canelo had no respect for khans speed power or boxing skills and thats why he knocked him out.

                  Floyd used his boxing skills and agression to intimate canelo, if Khan has used his speed and power he could have intimated canelo becuase he struggles against fast boxers. Khan was obviously way faster than canelo early he should have taken advantage of it more.

                    He couldn't do it.

                    He himself said he watched Floyd and Lara vs Canelo to see what he could implement into his game and.................................. we saw what happened.
