    Canelo's punches will feel like Julian Jackson's bombs to Khan when they connect on his glassy whiskers. Khan's whiskers were glassy down at 135, 140 and 146 and he hasn't fought a puncher since Lego Hair Garcia clobbered him in 2012. In fact, when you take a look at his record he hasn't fought many punchers at all since losing to Prescott.

    Malignaggi
    Salita
    Algieri
    Carlos Molina
    Kotelnik
    McCloskey
    Collazo
    Alexander
    Peterson
    Oisin ***an
    Julio Diaz

    Some of them have decent pop but none of them are known for their power and they're certainly not bangers

    Judah can punch and Maidana is definitely a banger (especially when allowed to wear puncher's gloves :hey)

    Algieri hurt Khan and Julio Diaz dropped him and may well have even stopped him had he not been allowed to get away with coach Virg's favourite defensive strategy ie. grabbing a hold of your opponent like a gay octopus to greatly reduce the number of shots you get hit with.

    I like Khan he has a big heart and he's talented and he's been entertaining to watch a lot of the time too. But there's no denying his whiskers have always been shaky.

    I'm sure he will but that Ginger kid will knock his head into orbit around the stratosphere if he catches him with something half decent.

    Canelo's modest power will still be enough to hurt the chinny Khan.

    Canelo is a bigger, smarter, and more skilled fighter and Khan. It's a mismatch.

    khan's fists and wrists look really small. he might break his hand punching on canelo.

    Canelo isn't the biggest puncher but he doesn't need to be to KO Khan. Canelo has decent one shot power, not amazing but more than enough to KO Khan.

    Garcia doesn't hit hard with only 18 of his 32 opponents being stopped yet he had more than enough power to KO Khan. Canelo for sure hits harder than Garcia that combined with Canelo operating at a higher weight where his power has been KOing bigger men, means Khan is likely facing one of the biggest punchers he has ever faced.

    Oh Come On!

    Canelo will shatter his whiskers faster than a sumo wrestler passes gas.

    I'm actually cheering for Khan because he's taking a fight like this when he doesn't have to. But he is susceptible to a ko in every second of the fight.
