    Pbf beats any version of Canelo he's a bad match up for him. With that said he should beat khan after a few rough rounds because of his speed.

    What? There were only maybe 2 rounds that were close enough for it to be conceivable to give to Canelo. Shut out wouldn't be unreasonable at all.

    I didn't give Canelo a single round. He was schooled in that fight.

    I think I gave him one round - not enough to quibble about either way. A virtual shutout.

    Mayweather always gives his opponent a chance of a flurry in a round early-ish. It's how he knows exactly what they're going to do throughout the rest of the fight.

    Don't forget that Khan is an excellent pure boxer. I say Canelo made a mistake in this pick.

    Canelo is right if khan choses to fight like mayweather then he will lose

    Canelo has judges in his pocket and unless Khan puts on a convincing absolute boxing clinic he's going to lose decision. Even Mayweather got a MD after that schooling. Now Canelo is the biggest PPV star of boxing and has even more power.

    Canelo will eventually lose by KO and will leave the ring on a stretcher vs GGG, Khan isn't the guy to do it.

    Nobody can box like Mayweather, except for FMJ. If Khan could box like Mayweather, cinnamon wouldn't have fought him.

    Khan is small enough.
