    Canelo been given permission to take a voluntary before GGG

    Khan would move up to 155lb for a fan friendly defence

    This sounds like another reason for Khan to stall on his career chasing the mega bout

    This would risk losing a Wembley slot for Brook

    In terms on their names, this is a big fight.

    Not sure I can see it happening. Thats probably a good thing for Khan, as I cant see him winning this.

    I'd love Amir to take that fight and win!

    What would you Brook disciples say about his resume then?

    Canelo > Porter. That isn't even debatable!

    Because canelo needs a ko as he cant ko a middleweight or most lmw bring on a ww what a joke canelo has become. I did like his typical fight anyone attitude before but
    Now he seems to be avoiding GGG like the plague

    My understanding is the GGG and Canelo would never happen as it would have to be at a catchweight as neither would be happy to put on/lose weight necessary to fight as opponents natural weight ?

    Canelos natural weight is middleweight, he weighs more than GGG on fight night.

    I understand this is correct come fight night but not at the weigh in, Canelo puts on loads after the weigh in, this being the case he is at an advantage to fight at a lighter weight. Catchweight will only happen if they both actually want to fight, unless one really NEEDS the other one, and they will be the one to come out their comfort zone

    Khan vs Cotto is a good fight for Khan at 155lbs, but not Canelo who naturally is a bigger guy..

    Has Khan even faced a legitimate welterweight before.

    Canelo would ko Khan within 5 rounds

    Canelo might even go for other fights.. I think GGG might get ****ed and be given the title or something lol.. well maybe not right away.. but down the line or something.. say Canelo fights 2 other guys that isn't GGG..

    Can't imagine Khan going up to 155. He's only just come up to 147....
