    I wonder who Khan will be sparring in preparation for this fight?

    Canelo normally weighs 170-180 in the ring, so Khan will most likely be sparring Super-middleweights or light heavies?

    Depends as a smw/lhw between fights might be even heavier unless they stay at fighting weight. I would imagine hell spar middles and lmw

    From the UK Liam Smith would be good, and that is easy done as he trains in Khans gym.

    Height wise he may be similar to canelo but canelo just looks much bigger and stockier he looks 2 weight divisions bigger. took me a while to like canelo and appreciate what he does and khan can be difficult for canelo early but khan also seems to tire midway just enough to trade more and move less which gets him stopped by such an accurate counter puncher as canelo

    He'll probably spar with Angulo seeing as they're both with Virgil Hunter which is decent preparation considering he's now a super middle and a former Canelo opponent.

    Didn't Angulo leave Hunter after the Canelo defeat?

    World class fighters don't spare with Khan as he regularly embarrasses them all. Or so he says.
