Khan vs. Canelo - May 7th in Vegas

[Newzz]

so he couldnt have fought brook in may?

Can Kell Brook move up 8 lbs in weight and fight Canelo on only a 5 week camp plus media/press obligations?

Seriously doubt Eddie Hearn would've done that.

or june?

​

June? No. The new MGM opens in May. Canelo would've missed the opportunity to open it.

or september?

​

And pass up the mandatory against GGG AND get stripped in the process to fight a dude who's barely known on US Soil?

Im one of the people of the opinion that Khan's offensive gifts make him a problem for ANY fighter. I've thought for years that he was hands down the most interesting match-up for Floyd above even Pac.

Insane handspeed, respectable power in both hands, and a super high workrate (importantly, from the outside). With Khan, if he isn't being hurt, he's winning rounds comfortably. Canelo's tendency to have large periods of inactivity (especially when his opponent is moving and firing in spurts) adds up to him losing rounds to Khan.

If he doesn't get in there and tag up Khan early he can be 4-5 rounds down real quick.

Yeah...but ckreh, you're forgetting the biggest factor in this....















Khan is fuccin stupid

You, me and everyonelse knows Khan is gonna box smart the first two rounds...get gassed and then get a rush of blood to head...jump in, throw a flurry and get lenged with a counter hook...


Mans will have the bodybag ready under the ring like a tables ladders chairs match

But that's exciting breh. Khan is capable and liable to do anything.

Throughout all the complaining no one is naming a more exciting fight that can be made for Canelo here, and in fact this just came out of nowhere to become the most interesting and must-see fight of the first half of 2016.

Seems like dudes would actually be happier seeing Canelo fight a complete can here (which he 100% deserves coming off of his last two fights) instead of a fight against a dude with some genuine world class talent.

Amir said to himself, "I ain't been starched(KO'd) in a while, the time has come."

How many rounds will this go? 6? 7? 3?

This fight came out of nowhere too. I'm prolly gonna laugh all 9 minutes of this fight.

I got your post mixed up with someone else's. But Khan fighting Canelo is a much bigger fight than Khan fighting Kell Brook.

He made the best financial decision

 

[N711oir]

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.

 

[N711oir]

So we gone act like kahn didn't give madina that work

Exactly.

No one can give the name of an available fighter Canelo should be fighting instead of Khan on PPV, opening the new MGM Arena, and on his 1st solo Cinco De Mayo Weekend.

 

[Newzz]

So we gone act like kahn didn't give madina that work

And Devon Alexander and Luis Collazo and Lamont Peterson and Zab Judah and Paulie Malignaggi and Marco Antonio Barrera......











and Danny Garcia for 2 rounds

 

[N711oir]

Someone must have said to both fighters..winner gets Mayweather! Khan is dying to fight mayweather and if it means fighting Canelo then so be it.

Yeah they trying to hype up another colossal money maker for the gawds return

What do you do when you don't have a worthy oponent to draw in the same dollars and pay preview money as that pac man debacle

You build one

 

[N711oir]

And Devon Alexander and Luis Collazo and Lamont Peterson and Zab Judah and Paulie Malignaggi and Marco Antonio







and Danny Garcia for 2 rounds

I'm just saying some feel madina gave money mayweather the best run for his money

And kahn gave that man a public appendectomy

Not to mention should some heart
prove he git a jaw

It'll be interesting is speed is no qeustion so

 

[Newzz]

I don't see Khan winning, but who knows. If he does..I can only IMAGINE the trash talk he will go into

 

[patscorpio]

So we gone act like kahn didn't give madina that work

thats a little different...they were both fighting at 140..khan the champ and maidana the highly touted contender

shyt i gave khan major props for surviving this fight, winning decisively, and also coming the closest to ko'ing maidana...its still his best fight ever

@Mook though has a differing opinion on this fight
