    Khan will shock alot of people with his size on fight night, Khan already has a reach advantage over Canelo..

    This is not the size mismatch everyone thinks it is..

    What if he wins that WBC belt though? All hell will break loose in boxing.

    GGG and K2 will have to beat the **** outta Oscar.

    Amir's trademark hand-speed seemed somewhat vacant against Algieri. At 155 against Canelo I expect a further decline in velocity.

    Canelo came in at 175. That is a 13 pound advantage, or 2 weight classes.

    Doesn't change the fact Khan is a blown up LWW. His prime was at 140.

    Canelo-Khan is not an ideal fight but I like Canelo and wanna see Khan get KO'd so I'm intrigued a bit. I think the size thing is overblown because Canelo is a certain fighters only shot at a top lvl win, Canelo comes into the ring around the same size as most WW-MW fighters fighting today.

    The Title being on the line is unfortunate but, Alvarez won the belt last fight at the same weight he's defending at because of star power any 147-60 is up for grabs.

    This is a lousy fight.

    As I've said many times before, I don't like Khan's god-awful style and I can't stand the way a lot of people overrate his skills just because he has speed. But this matchup doesn't make me happy and I won't really enjoy watching Khan lose to a middleweight.

    Right now Golden Boy just cant afford to lose another fighter. Remember what Nacho Beristain said! He predicted that the beating Golovkin would administer to Canelo could permanently wreck his confidence and possibly retire him before he turns 30! Getting touched up by Floyd doesn't hurt a fighter much. Oscar's company cant afford this. They would have nobody left. Postol wrecked Mattysee. Lemiuex is shot. Man Hopkins might have to rematch Kovalev to save his company. :D

    I hope he kills Khan. Then maybe somebody might take notice and put their foot down and do away with catchweights.
