    really think about it. So far, Khan has faced the fresher comp and is a lot faster than Canelo. Khan can box and is fast.

    Canelo got cotto at the right time. Plus the fight wasnt even a blowout, with several sources choosing cotto as the winner. khan might be chinny but canelo hasnt shattered anything but already glued back glass in Kirkland.

    high time to bet on khan would be this fight.

    not likely....

    I'd say he's more likely not going to see 12 rounds

    Maidana has more power then Canelo.

    I don't really give kahn a shot unless he kos Canelo. Kahn is a poormans Lara at best. Lara won 8 or 9 rounds and couldn't get a decision.

    It's highly likely kahn outboxes Canelo 7-5 on his best night.
    The judges cards will read
    118-110
    116-112
    116-112
    All in favor of Canelo

    This has that air of GBP and Fluidness all over it. On the outside it smells ok, liek looks wise like Khan has a shot. But on the inside everything is stacked against him. his chin, vegas, the judges, moving up weight...

    I would love to see Kahn win but i don't see it happen unfortunately... even though I can see Kahn win the first few rds he will eventually get tired of caring his "new" weight and fold to Canelo's pressure.

    Canelo should not be crowned as the middleweight campion since he refuse to fight in the middleweight limit, Canelo is a fake champion and should be stripped!

    I'm thinking Khan's style might give Canelo problems. Canelo is quick himself though.

    I don't know about that. Canelo is a very good counterpuncher with deceptively fast hands and a good amount of power for a JMW.

    His timing and counterpunching ability is going to ensure that he's going to nail something flush on Khan at some point in the fight. We'll see if the added weight helps Khan's chin, but I'm under the impression that if he was able to get dropped by Julio DIaz and stunned several times by ALgieri, he'll be in a world of trouble if Canelo lands flush on him. He can fight an almost perfect fight but his chin will get tested at some point. Canelo is too good to be hitting air all night long.

    Like many already mentioned, the elephant standing in the room here is that if Khan somehow outboxes Canelo -which is possible-, he wouldn't get the nod anyway.

    Like Hopkins would say; "that's why I'll never fight in Europe"
