    Joke of a fight. I'm not a massive Canelo fan but he really is taking the biscuit if he tries to fight khan he would be going in with a massive weight advantage not even a fair fight. Khan's a decent sized welter but canelo is a big middle.

    Khan 155? I doubt it, I heard Eddie Hearn say he told Amir if he didn't take the Brook fight soon they were going to move up, and Amir had no interest in moving up to make the fight. He'll never move up to 155.

    I think amir will do what's best for his bank balance then anything else. In a way the fights a no-lose, if he gets ko'd and he can say that canelo's a lot bigger and fights at MW, then go back down to WW with a massive pay check. If we wins - which looks unlikely though if he goes 12 rounds he may well win on points, then he's going to be a massive name and draw both sides of the Atlantic.

    Lol, Khan does come across as a deluded pillock with some of his comments. Like, trying to strong-arm Mayweather into fighting at a date of Khan's convenience.

    I believe Khan will unravel the moment he steps in with someone who has decent power and can bring educated pressure at 147 or 154. Canelo, I feel, would be too big for Khan, and would hit too hard. The only chance Khan has of beating Canelo, is to demand a catchweight of 150, and to bring a baseball bat into the ring with him on fight night.

    Think Khan is easy big enough for 154lbs.

    Khan won't take it and why should he?

    All the signs are Brook Vs Khan sometime next summer.

    Assuming the fight is at 155 because of the WBC middleweight title... Canelo who (like it or not) is a MIDDLEWEIGHT Champion and even the suggestion he could fight a WELTERWEIGHT is a complete joke, Oscar should be ridiculed for the suggestion.

    So the suggestion of Khan moving up two weights is fine but Canelo moving up 5lb to fight Golovkin is out of the question?

    :lol: the more Oscar talks the more Canelo looks pathetic.

    In your opinion, do you think this is down to Canelo ducking GGG? Or is it down to Oscar stalling on behalf of Canelo, and attempting to kill the prospect of Canelo ever fighting GGG (essentially, that Canelo wants to face GGG, but Oscar steers Canelo away from it)?

    I think Canelo wants nothing to do with Golovkin and Oscar doesn't want Canelo anywhere near Golovkin.
