Most likely if that happens it will be via KO/TKO loss can Khan say "well...I lost to a middleweight" and thus expect no harm to his career at WW ?? Is this an intentional tactic to still try n get big fights at WW after if/he loses to Alvarez ? I do think Khan has a chance of a UD win here but if he gets caught and Algeri can shake him with his pillow fists then Khan here will go to sleep against Saul... clever intentional tactic or not ?
He will retire if Canelo beats him....so no it's not a tactic to protect his career...it's a tactic to get dat $. and Khan's delusional half actually has some belief that he can win.
He's always got the Kell fight to fall back on. His b.alls gang like f'in boulders. This cannot be emphasised enough
