    Why wasn't Khan able to beat Canelo, even though Floyd beat Canelo easily? I mean, if Khan is the master boxer he and his fans say he is, surely he should have been able to follow the Floyd blueprint and outbox Canelo to a wide UD.

    Combination of Khan's chin and Clenelo being drained for Floyd.

    It's best to not pay too much mind to what Khan and his fans say.

    Khan was ahead on points in the eyes of the public but the cards said different,then inevitably Kahn’s chin let him down. If Kahn had managed to go the distance he would never have got it on the cards anyway as we have seen so many times during Canelos career,even Floyd after giving him a boxing lesson only won by a majority decision .

    At that time Canelo progressed with each fight.
    I'm not sure Mayweather would have defeated the Canelo that Khan faced.

    Because Khan was facing a 190lb full strength 100% non drained PED monster Hulknelo with Clenbuterol bombs in both hands

    That, and it only took two rounds for Canelo to figure him out and start outboxing him.

    That drained narrative is a myth. Canelo weighed in at 152 the fight before Floyd and a few times prior.

    Clenelo was most definitely drained. His body was parched and he was severely weakened. That's why Clenelo was more bruised up than in any fight in his career despite guys like Golovkin landing flush on him. Floyd would have stopped him if he applied more pressure.

    Just saying. That's why Canelo said he could make 152 because he did it prior. He set the weight, Mayweather held him to it. That win keeps getting better and better. Much better than Pac's win over weight drained Cotto.
