    why else would he accept this damn joke of a fight? i honestly think he's just trying to get a few good paydays and retire. he's been chasing pacquiao and 4weather for years but they were running for their lives. i don't think i've ever heard khan call out thurman, porter, brook(his goddamn rival) or any top welterweight besides pac and 4weather. i honestly think after canelo knocks khan out he'll obviously move back down to 147 and either fight garcia or brook, then he'll retire and he can fast as much as he wants without worrying about prescott knocking him out cold. now if god is in the arena on the night that khan fights canelo and khan somehow wins then i think 4weather or king IV(whatever you want to call him) will come out of retirement and fight him. khan would beat 4weather though in my opinion

    Khans whole career has been smoke and mirrors.

    He's had a good but nothing great career:-

    Never been number one in any division

    Best victory came against a pre Garcia crude Maidana and it was very close.

    Been savagely knocked out in 2 of his losses

    His best wins have come across over the hill fighters and he's struggled against fighters he should really of handled easily if he was as good as his hype.

    Khan imo realises he's going to struggle against the Thurman's, Brook's and Porter's of the division and has been looking for the big cash out fight fr the last 2 years.

    Canelo is going to retire him.

    Same story we heard about PAC when he was moving up in weight. If khan win then Canelo will become a joke.

    When he takes no fights, he's lost his love for the fight game and stalling

    When he takes a fight no one thinks he can win, he's lost his passion for the game

    Jesus Christ :patsch

    Khan > Little g, and has massive nuts to take this fight.

    Canelo and Khan have overnight taken complete control over the MW division, at least for a few months.
    They are literally hijacking tens of millions of dollars out of K2 and Golovkin's European man-purses.
    Great move GBP!

    True. If Golovkin had the same nuts as Khan, he would have moved up to fight Ward at 168lbs. That cannot be denied.

    I do think Khan is past prime though tbh because mentally he's not really in the game anymore. He found a woman and is eager to just cash and bounce as soon as possible. He wanted to retire aged 28, but what's the point of retiring if he could get Canelo, Brook, and if he beats Canelo, Mayweather - 3 massive paydays, win or lose at least 2 massive paydays.

    If only you chumps knew how much money Khan made in 2015 during his ME and PK tours you'll realise that he doesn't need the money.

    Khan wore those $50,000 trunks in the Collazo match, as I recall, with Gold threading. He likes that Mayweather money, so he needs more. But I also believe Khan is also concerned about legacy at this stage of his career.
    Good or bad, this Canelo match will certainly go down in history.

    The CRAZIEST THING.........

    The Brook fight was $5 mil plus 40% of Sky PPV.

    He'd likely made close to $8 mil.

    How much does he expect to get from GBP.

    $2 mil plus 10% of HBO PPV, a total of MAYBE $5-$7 million.


    I think this is more a move to be LESS humiliated when he's starched.

    He's Garcias mando, and he could possibly beat Garcia, even KO him, and he'd hold the keys to the kingdom sotosay at WW.

    Then he could FORCE the higher purse vs Brook in unification.

    I just think he KNOW he's getting STARCHED vs any of the top WWs, so if he's getting laid down, he might as well have a built in excuse. :patsch

    He's getting a big fight, which is what he wants. Big money, big exposure, lots of recognition if he somehow wins.

    It's not a desperate cash-out fight from his perspective. Khan doesn't strike me as someone who isn't confident about his ability to win this fight. Sure he may be delusional about his abilities, but at least he's got the ***** to take the fight.

    There IS NOT a fighter from 140lbs to 168 lbs who would not take that fight.:-(

    This is Floyds legacy in boxing.

    Everyone is so used to ducking, diving and not taking on real challengers that when it finally does happen people cannot believe it
