    Because I think this is little more than a formality. Khan has put on size but he's looked a lot slower in training and he's still clearly smaller than Canelo.

    Also let's remember Canelo is a better fighter than Khan is out right anyway p4p. Canelo will probably put him away in the first four but definitely at some point in the fight.

    I think Khan is going to look dower and gas out more easily and his punches will have little effect on Canelo and he will not have significantly better punch resistance.

    I will go for Canelo in four, I've put money on a Canelo KO and I will put all of my v-cash on it.

    Anyway this is a ban bet 2 months no posting on here.

    If you believe Khan wins say it if you believe Canelo wins say it.

    I'd love to see him whoop this chump but i can't see it happening.

    Khan made me a big fan. He has bigger gonads than Canelho and Bumlovkin put together

    Khan gets k'do, the guy can win obviously but I doubt if he is going to perform x2 as well as he did against Diaz, which he will need to do imo.
    Dislike Canelo though, he'll get properly exposed soon enough.
    Come on Amir, hit, hold, run, dance, cheat but just pleeeease don't wander into another overhand right ffs....

    Khan looked slow in his last fight. Without that wicked speed I don't think he has a chance.

    He has a chance. But, it's a slight one. Canelo has good hand speed, head and waist movement, and timing. He is going to land something significant to the head or body and when he does Khan will start to fall apart. Canelo will finish the job too, if that's the case.

    When Khan has odds stacked against him and people writing him off, I think he is quite dangerous,

    I seriously wouldnt be surpised if he rocks Canelo in the first few rounds.

    I think he has a chance he has the tools and if he keeps to his boxing and doesn't make the mistakes he made in the past then he could win a decision.

    But I have no faith in his ability to stick to a sound strategy, he literally forgot everything he has learned under Hunter against Algieri, that's the worst Khan I've seen in years. That Khan doesn't go 6 rounds.

    If he sticks to a sound strategy, boxes, moves, counters, spoils in close, then he could give Canelo a tough fight, similar to Lara and Trout. But Khan always wants to engage, throw big combo's leaving himself open to be countered. If he gets over confident at any point Canelo will quickly punish him for his over confidence. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Khan wins the early rounds only to get ****y and throw away all his good work and get KO'ed later in the fight.

    I seriously hope Khan embarrasses Canelo on his national holiday. I am sick of him.

    Can Khan absorb a clean shot from Canelo? I don't think so.

    No chance for Khan.

    Better Boxer: Alvarez
    Better Athlete: Alvarez
    Bigger Fighter: Alvarez
    Smarter Fighter: Alvarez
    Tougher Fighter: Alvarez

    The only question is which round it ends in. I'm sticking with round 3.

    Khan can win. But he's going to have to fight the perfect fight. Plus he will have to be convincing as the judges will side with Canelo. Personally I see Canello stopping Khan around round 8-9...ref jumping in with Khan on the ropes. I hope I'm wrong as I like Khan as he's exciting win or lose.
    Truth is, he's got to beat a guy he can't knock out realistically, and to beat on points in Vegas is unlikely, so he could be **** out of luck. Good luck Amir.

    Theoretically Khan has a chance if he can box and not get caught with anything significant, but the reality is, he' s not tough enough to be the champ. If Canelo goes to the body, I don't know how Khan lasts. Khan is going to have to put it all together like he hasn't before in his life. If he pulls it off I'd have the utmost of respect for him.

    I think Canelo will win, but it will be a better fight than most people think. I really don't see Khan going in there and just lying down. He'll bring his best tonight.
