    I believe Khan really is a 154 fighter, a guy who walks around 165-170 should not be cutting down to 147 and 2 years ago to 140.. GBP and Canelo's team didnt pick up on this fact that Khan would be this big..

    In a recent interview Canelo even said the extra weight will help Khan instead of it being a disadvantage..

    We will soon see, May 7th biggest fight of 2016..

    A win over Canelo would be one of the greatest British wins ever..

    You can't "really be" a 154 pound fighter if you've never fought at that weight. Im 5'8 and walk around at 180 and if I was going to compete the biggest I would ever consider fighting at would be 154 but i probably would be much better suited for 147. I'm not British though.

    Reading and hearing recent interview plus the ones from the past, Hunter feels too Khan better suited above 150lbs, they find it tough dropping last 5lbs now, so afyer 152lbs its hurting Khan dropping weight..

    problem is while that may be true, weight isnt the biggest issue in this fight its his chin and lack of power

    Khan has a average chin, if Canelo lands and times the right shot Khan's going down..

    But I think Khan will shock Canelo with his speed and movement and Khan will be strong in the clinches too.. Canelo finds it tough to cut the ring off and has a low workrate and that drops even more as the fight goes on..

    Khan has to fight a perfect fight to win this one, because putting size and power aside in a boxing match Khan can outbox Canelo.. he just has to be focused and smart.

    Look I know your ****stan and love the guy. It is a simple physical mismatch, khan is a 140 fighter. He will get knocked out. His skill set is average
    He has elite speed and average pure boxing ability and a average chin.

    you're trying hard to convince yourself he has a chance.

    even if by some miracle he makes it the full 12, what makes you believe the judges will score it in his favor?

    heard the same when he was at 140lbs and how 147 was his right weight. Need to stop moving the goalposts
