    NO. His defense is not nearly on that level.

    No.

    Khan's biggest weakness is his bad ring IQ bad defense and how he loses focus in the middle of his shoe shine flurries. Khan can't replicate what Floyd does or even close. His skill set is nowhere near Floyd, frankly his chin is nowhere near Floyd's. Floyd did get hit a few times by Canelo and people forget about that.

    like others have pointed out there are actually a lot of similarities with this fight and Khan-Garcia. Garcia's advantage in that fight was his timing and his counter punching. I expect Khan to have a couple good rounds because he is faster than Canelo, but that will only take him so far and I think sooner or later Canelo cracks him.

    Also
    Floyd fought the way he had to. If he moved like Lara he woulda gassed. Plus let's not forget Floyd drained Canelo and Lara fought at caneloweight.

    Khan wont have the NSAC , Usada & Vegas boxing behind him like Mayweather had. In fact they'll be in Canelo's corner
    Khan has to KO Pollo to win :smoke

    Canelo won't be a weight drained zombie like Mayweather made him fight at the catchweight. Let's see if he needs a chair during weigh-in first

    Nothing Khan does is going to matter when Canelo lands flush on that fragile glass jaw.

    No he can't. Mayweather held Centre ring v Canelo, Khan cannot do that.

    Frankly the only way Khan wins is if he lands a crushing shot early that makes Canelo think twice about pressuring him. Then Khan dances about for the rest of the night and wins on points. I'd say he's got between a 5-15% chance of winning this. I'd be surprised but delighted if he beats Canelo.

    This fight is going to be a shining example of how timing beats speed. And i don't really rate Canelo that highly. Khan is getting KTFO.
