    I would love to see peoples prediction's on this fight?

    I personally believe Amir will win the first few rounds but will not see round eight.

    I am shocked a lot of so called experts are saying that Khan should adopt the game plan that he took into the Alexander fight. Khan has always been good at boxing southpaws as he naturally leads with his foot on the outside.

    I do not believe this will work against a stronger, tougher orthodox fighter like Alverez, I also believe that many people are under-rating Alverez's boxing ability.

    I know he was outboxed against Floyd pretty easily but that was nearly three years ago now and I saw massive improvements in the Cotto fight.

    Canelo is also very good at cutting the ring off, I can see him doing this alot in the early rounds even if he isnt throwing a great deal in order to make the smaller man move more and use up a lot more energy before the fight gets to the midway point.

    I think after round six we will see why there are weight classes in boxing for a reason...


    Your thoughts?

    My mind changes on this so much. I think Khan starts well and nicks a few found, but I think he gets caught but a nice combo and put Khan out by 6-7rds. Canelo's footwork isn't that great but neither is Khan's concentration

    The more I look at this fight, I start to believe that Khan should of just boxed Brook

    The Brook fight will still be there either way I think. He's in a win-win here. Huge money fight that he isn't expected to win but with the chance of potentially beating a P4P fighter.

    What if he gets blown out inside three rounds getting dropped four times?

    "I wasn't comfortable at the weight" - easy. Plus, I think a lot of people just assume that's going to happen anyway. Khan will still be the easiest fight to make with maximum profit for Brook

    Yeah your prob right mate, but I really think Canelo irons him out and his career never recovers.

    I think Khan will be badly stopped within 6-7 rounds. He may win some rounds but wont see the final bell, nor anywhere near it in my opinion.

    It's pretty much a win-win for Khan although I don't give him much of a chance. Canelo late stoppage for me and then Khan fights Brook next spring.
