    Agreed. It's a waste of time and the first half of 2016 is looking pretty bleak right now- there might be a half dozen fights worth a damn with no interesting blockbusters. Wake me up when the Fury-Wlad rematch hits.

    Speaking of swapping opponents, would a Golovkin-Khan fight even get licensed?

    Well, here's a simple way to look at it, we know Canelo is sparking Khan. How does Canelo fair against Wade at 160 lbs? If you think Canelo/Wade is a tougher fight then Khan is the worst of the opponents.

    That's up to your own opinion though. I think they are both mismatches of the same degree with Canelo's fight being a massive size mismatch and GGG's fight being a massive skill mismatch.

    Khan would beat Wade if they fought IMO.

    Deeper where? Up GGG's butt? Outrageous. Khan is far and away the way better opponent. Just look at the all threads on the Khan fight alone. Better fighter and a fight that's getting people excited.

    Exactly, Wade's resume is so poor he struggled with the injured one legged Sam Solibum.

    People aren't excited because it's a competitive fight with a great opponent. People are excited because Khan is going to get knocked out.

    Stupid question.
    Kahn vs Canelo is a competitive fight.

    Based on name, clearly Khan. I actually think he'll be ok at 155 but we;ll see how he handles that extra weight. His speed will probably suffer a bit

    I would LOL if Khan somehow outpointed Canelo for the win. Losing to an outweighed Khan would be far more embarrassing than losing to Golovkin. Bonus comedic points if Canelo failed to make Caneloweight.
