Khan will be fighting 1lbs over his natural fighting weight of 154lbs..

For me khans lack of power will have a big effect. At 140 he had average power at 147 less than average and at 155 he will be a light puncher and canelo as slow as he is will walk through him and eventually catch him. i just cant see khan being mobile enough for 12 rounds while weighing his heaviest, he already tires mid way through fights and becomes more static

 

All depends how fat he is at 165-170. If he pigged out and went up to 190, would you say he was a light heavy? How much he lets his fitness go between fights is no indicator of his best fighting weight. He looks like a 147 fighter to me, but we will only find out on May 7 if he can cut it at 155.

 

Agreed. That for me is the real issue. No matter how well khan can box and move, Canelo will eventually walk him down simply because Khan doesn't punch hard enough. He doesn't pack enough to make Canelo think twice.

 

Agreed, in the 13 fights since his defeat to Prescott, Khan has only had five legit stoppages.

 

More chance of the prophet having a nice bacon butty.

 

Well I hope if khan was to win, he'd be forced to fight GGG in a cage for 15 rounds or until the last man was standing.

 

Well if that's the case it'd be more like 15 secs.

 

Cannot see Khan having the power or strength to keep Canelo from walking through him. Also imo Canelo is the more skilled fighter.

 

GGG has already said he'd fight khan if he were to win.

The BBC, need to force that filthy rat into fighting or else strip him of his licence.

 

To be honest when Garcia, Peterson, Algeri, Diaz etc can walk through your supposed "explosive, powerful" shots you're up **** Creek when facing a guy who is by far the best opponent you have faced and just happens to be a light heavyweight on fight night.

 

Khan's body might be suited for 154 pounds, but his chin was made to reside at featherweight.
