The Truth
This doesn't mean shyt...

Canelo is their fighter and they're trying to make the biggest prize fight in boxing (Canelo vs GGG)...

Of course they're going to have Canelo winning...

Everybody knows I ride #CaneloCartel

I had the fight scored 4-1 Khan based off ring generalship, clean and effective punching...Canelo did not do much of anything in the first three rounds but chase and struggle to close distance while swinging wildly...Khan boxed beautifully, he controlled distance, that jab straight right combo he was landing was visibly snapping Canelo's head back and stopping him in his tracks...Canelo did land some very good body shots which clearly paid off in round 5-6 but I gave those first 4 rounds to Khan...Round 4 was close so I could see 3-2 Khan but I cannot see Canelo up going into round 6...Simply didn't do enough imo...
Yeah I had Khan winning

My homie had him winning all 5... I had him wing 3-4.

But I said he would get the earlier rounds. But once he slowed down and start catching shyt to the face he was done.

You could tell in the 5th.. Canelo started landing some big punches and getting in a rhythm. It was only a matter of time after that.

Well one of the judges saw it 4-1 Canelo too...opinions are opinions...but Kahn was throwing combos that barely or lightly touched...Canelo was truly popping him...specially the 3rd til the knockout.
He filled his score card out before the fight started

Another Gold Medal
I had it 3-2 Canelo at the time of the stoppage. After about midway in the 2nd Canelo started to outbox Khan that was my take way from this fight. He wasn't supposed to outbox Cotto but he did he wasn't supposed to outbox Khan either.

Floyd fight gave him +5 on his stats this is why I'm against nikkas fighting jobbers you only get better by fighting good comp.

I don't think Khan exposed anything we didn't already know. Most fighters have problems against those who are quick on their feet and have quick hands. It takes a while to get the timing right, just look at Floyd vs Zab for example.
I think it's stupid to use this fight as a measuring stick of how a ggg fight would turn out. Khan and ggg fight nothing alike AT ALL. The only question mark in that fight would be Canelo's endurance because ggg does everything Canelo prefers his opponents to do.

Alot of welterweights with a chin is licking their chops at Canelo:dame:
yet none will call him out:pachaha:..... Canelos beating ALL them welterweights right now....probably by KO. pretty much everybody said Canelo would need a couple rounds to adjust to khan's speed like everybody does and would, including floyd. it's like some people seen khan doing better than expected and go to the extreme with it. khan was missing a lot in there. Canelo systematically broke that dude down. he never looked worried at all.

canelo went in there and almost immediately started throwing off balance wild left hooks. then out of nowhere he threw a crisp clean one that cut khan open. he was setting all kinds of traps in the ring last night. he wanted khan to get false confidence from the jump. Canelo has already beaten boxing tacticians like lara and trout. a hall for of famer in cotto. Canelo does have weaknesses but his ring IQ is ridiculous.
