Can we stop with this nonsensical narrative of "Khan schooling Canelo"

    This is seriously getting out of hand. Khan literally had only 2 good rounds. After that, it was Canelo who was schooling and out-boxing Canelo and not vice-versa.

    If you want to play this game, Khan even won the 2nd round against Crawford and was landing his punches at will on Crawford, testament to how laughable and pathetic Crawford's defense is. That he couldn't avoid getting punched by a further declined and shot version of Khan with a glass-jaw. That's even worse!

    Khan was outweighed by Canelo in the region of 25 pounds or more. Khan won at least 2 if not 4 rounds. He did well and then got KO by a legitimate elite fighter. That KO took a lot out of Khan and he is shot now.

    Apparently if you're using lateral movement against Canelo that means you're schooling him.

    It's a stupid comparison for sure.

    The kind of KO that Khan suffered at the hand of Canelo made it much easier for all of Khan's future opponents. That was one of the most brutal KO's in the last decade and you can bet it make him question his career in boxing. I don't know how any fighter can be the same after the getting knocked out like that.
