This is the first weight class amir will be pushing above his weight He is trying to do what Pac did few years ago going up weight classes like it means nothing can he could it? The media and fans took what Pac did for granted and feel Pac can do the same
The difference is pac was fighting at the same, just about exactly, the same at 130 all rhe way to 150, possibly 126 to 150. And the same from 108 to 126, on fight nigets I'm talking. Far easier to to jump 3,4,5,6 weight classes when you change nothing except less weight cutting which helps greatly. Khan was cutting tons at 140 and even cutting lots at 147. For this 155 fught, khan will be cutting no weight and just focusing on getting stronger, quicker and working a real gameplan. Going to be the biggest, strongest and most prepared khan. Problem lies with I just think canelo has too much for khan,both punch wise giving and by far reviecing

Pac came off the destruction of David Diaz and was perhaps in his top physical prime when he jumped up in weight. Khan is coming off an unimpressive win against Algieri in which he looked slower than he's ever been.
Pac, like many before him, became an ATG because he moved up and dominated in several higher weight classes. Just like all the old school ATGs. Perhaps Khan can do the same. There is no denying if Khan some how beats Canelo and gains a MW title, he is definitely on the right path.

I think that Khan is just being Khan.He has a desire for greatness and I for one applaud him. I think that he and his trainer are aware of what needs to be done and they will be well prepared. While that doesn't guarantee him a win, it does bare witness to his fighting spirit.
Khan has been a lightweight all through his 20's. He's naturally climbed weight divisions as he's aged. He's almost 30 now. 17 lbs gradually putting it on through a decade of fighting. Khan in a 10 year span went from lightweight to Welterweight. Pacquiao on the other hand went from Flyweight to Welterweight, a 35 lbs gain ladies and gentlemen in the same age frame that Khan put on just 17 lbs. Khan is pushing it going to 154 lbs, but unlike Pacquiao his body frame is made for weight climbs, he's tall and has a reach. He just might be able to handle it at 154 lbs, especially against Canelo who's heavy on his feet.
