    Canelo is actually pretty quick , it's only Mayweather who has truly out sped him , even against Lara it was pretty equal.

    Khan does have speed but is he that quick that it's going to make a big difference ? He isn't even the fastest welter .

    This fight will look like man against boy and it wouldn't surprise me if Khan was stopped with a body shot.

    It doesn't go 6 in a farce of a fight.

    By the way the Crolla fight will be the fight of the night.

    Watch the Algieri fight and the Garcia fight. Khan's speed has severely dropped off.

    Khan was physically at his best with Roach and Ariza in his corner.

    Yup. Khan has faster feet, but Canelo and Khan's speed disparity (as of late) really isn't that much. I think it'll be pretty much the same in this fight.

    Khan's speed advantage is really overstated. His handspeed appeared to be significantly reduced in his last bout against Algieri, and the added weight in this fight only figures to add to the reduction.

    I think Khan's already a shot fighter and Canelo will finish him off tonight.
