    Khans taller for sure but still smaller as a fighter. I think people will be surprised how evenly they are size wise when in the ring.

    I see Canelo being 170 max and I see Khan being 165 to 168 with a 2" height and 2,3" reach. Going to turn out to be a great fight. Khan might stay at 154 afterwards too

    Khan is slightly taller but Canelo's head and neck is heavier than Khan's whole body.

    Khan is taller but Canelo is the bigger of the two, just look at their arms next to each other on the second picture and he is just thicker all over. Khan will not and should not be as heavy as Canelo on fight night.

    Why is that ? I think khan fighting at his natural weight will be the best thing he could do. 165/168 and still shredded, that's gonna be the best khan that's ever been in a real boxing match. I do think khan can hang with canelo way longer than most claim. The biggest thing is khan does NOT have a glass chin, very far from it.

    I've never seen khan laid facking out exactly like every truly glass chinned fighters have been. When has khan been laid the fack out ? When has khan been hurt badly by little power and undersized guys ??? Khan always gets back up and before being counted out.

    Khans biggest real problem is he doesn't know how to remain calm under fire nor does he try to survive and weather the storm. Dude stands in the trenches and throws down.

    The amount of Hate from ignorant fans about cowards, runners dockers all that bullsh!t should love lhan. Khan is the ultimate warrior who fights exactly how so many of you claim is how real men and real fighters fight. Make up your facking minds, do you guys even have a clue as to what you want to see ?

    Both canelo AND Khan fight exactly how the trolls on every site thinks how only real fighters should fight. Wtf it's obvious, you ignorant fools are impossible to please. No matter what you'll always find stupid sh!t to TROLL about.

    Same exact book with same exact chapter

    Why are people surprised when someone is bigger than a guy who weighs more than them. Weight is very deceiving in terms of size. look at frank zane, same weight as kovalev on fight night. Kane sumabat, same weight as canelo on fight night.

    Khans been hurt and dropped by several none punchers. His chin is poor at world level. His fighting heart and ability to get back up after being drilled are near next level - he just doesn't fight smart when it happens. I like him as a fighter - vulnerable tho he is he's exciting to watch and the partnership with hunter is making him solid but.

    he was put down early in his career by Medjadji a lower tier fighter - OK it happens. Dropped hard by Limond a domestic level operator with only 11 stoppages in something like 39 fights a fight that can be argued he should have been counted out in.
    Stopped by Prescott a low level banger. Out on his feet vs Maidana (did well to survive), Stopped by Garcia who isn't a massive puncher down against Diaz and stunned briefly vs Algeri.
    Too much evidence to say he isn't vulnerable when it comes to holding a shot.

    I think if Khan handles the weight well and still has his hand and foot speed he might be able to outbox canelo at times as Alavrez can be a bit plodding but I just cant get away from the fact that at some point Alvarez will connect big. When Khan tires he makes mistakes so even if Alvarez looses the early rounds to some of Khan's flashy combos as long as its competitive I see him getting to Khan later in the fight and getting the stoppage. Its such a strange fight.

    Khan may have speed to trouble a decent fighter, but he's still not on a Lara's or Cotto's level. Canelo has improved greatly since the Mayweather fight, even if they were naturally from the same division, Khan doesn't have the boxing IQ Canelo has. Probably on par or slightly better than a Vanes Martirosyan.

    Its all about the legs guys. People look at me and think I weigh 78-80kg. Im actually 87. Why? Big legs and ****. Thats where so much weight is carried and most people dont notice it. Canelo is way bigger. Also - ive met Khan a couple of times. Shook his hand and put my arm around him for a photo - dude lis slender as ****. Broad but he's just a slender guy. Canelo is chunky asf. Personally I see Khan outboxing him for the first half of the fight and actually making him look stupid, and then second half getting too smart and taking risks to "please the crowd" before he gets hit with something v tasty. Whether he survives or not will be exactly what makes this fight so exciting.
