Khan vs. Canelo - May 7th in Vegas

[Formerly known as...]

If anyone thinks Khan is winning this at 155 is a damn fool. Canelo wins via KO within 6.

Because GGG has a mandatory defense of his IBF Championship that he has to do by April 23rd, or he will be stripped of his belt. He has to take this fight and it was officially announced today...GGG vs Wade.


Canelo, meanwhile, is not gonna sit around and wait on GGG, so he is taking the biggest $$$ available which is only 2 weeks after GGG's fight), and will meet GGG in September.

Right, GGG vs Canelo was NEVER going to happen in May...as it shouldn't have been. I hate the "victory lap" theory in boxing, but I can't fault him for facing anybody besides GGG in May. GGG isn't going anywhere, that fight will be available for Canelo in September if negotiations work itself out.

One thing people seem to forget is that money TALKS in boxing and this fight is going to make both A LOT of money. You can't pass that up in this violent and "what have you done for me lately" sport

Wait a fukking minute, is this real?

Khan has tools to trouble Canelo...Speed, Reach, he throws them Flurries that can win him rds.. especially since Canelo takes minutes off in Rds

But His Chin

He was getting bullied by Chris Algieri...Canelo goin hurt him

Khan won't be going after no Danny Garcia or Kell Brook right after Canelo either...he likely retires or fights in 2017 against a gimmie

Khan is fast but he isnt smart! He doesn't disguise anything. Canelo is a smarter fighter and has taken bigger punches. Canelo should take Khan out in this, once Khan gets a feel of canelos power he will shrivel up and panic

in khan's favor that was a different khan, built up weak etc..
this fight is bad, all depends on canelo when he wants to end it. it will be that easy and terrible.
Canelo fans should feel embarrassed.

Con has done literally nothing to earn this, especially at a weight he's never fought at. After this chin based genocide what's next? He's gonna move up to 168 and fight Kovalev.

I hope you guy taken note how Ward moved outta 168 after that alleged sparring session with #KangusKHAN

 

[yo moms]

khan must have got a new pure connect straight from columbia to take this fight. i knew he was a delusional cokehead but this is something else

 

[So-Chi]

He can face Canelo in May, due his Ramadan in June, and then come back and face either Danny Garcia (because he's still #1 and mandatory opponent for Garcia's WBC championship) OR face Brook in the UK for the IBF Championship at the end of the year.


It's actually a win-win for him. At very worst, Khan will possibly have faced either Canelo & Kell Brook or Canelo & Danny Garcia in 1 year...that's tough.

Exactly, but if he loses to Brook he's not getting Danny. He loses to Canelo and all options are still open, possibly more. It was a great business decision UNLESS he gets knocked out.

The hypocrisy
Not a single mention of this being a mismatch....no beating of the "scared" drums like they did the last big draw, huh?
