    He's going to get KTFO but I give him credit. He's got a lot of self belief.

    Good for him, he is getting the biggest pay day of his life. It will be interesting to see how is chin and speed hold up at 155.

    I'd fight Canelo for that kind of dough too.

    He is very brave or is selling the last shards of his chin to the highest bidder. The only difference is whether or not he truly believes he can win.

    Crazy innit 😀

    He's sold his chin to the highest bidder.

    Fighting Brook, a fellow countryman and main rival, would have been far "braver".

    Either way Khans clock is getting cleaned.

    Maybe smart but not brave at all. He knows he loses in the ring but wins in the pocket.

    This way he probably doesn't have to fight kell where a loss is much more damaging to him

    Amir Khan takes risks. This fight would be worrying for Khan's health potentially, as Amir is not fighting a guy with a welterweight frame anymore, but someone with a middleweight frame and comes in on fight night as a light heavyweight.

    Not only that, but Canelo is stronger at a bigger weight and his uppercuts are vicious.

    Amir is choosing to put on weight quickly, that's a risk.

    I wonder if he makes that much more in this fight as he would against Brook (very doubtful), or just believes that a loss can be turned over to the "he was so much bigger, but I tried" thing so he can prevent too much loss of face, or even eventually still get the Brook payday after.

    I honestly think it's the losing face thing. He doesn't really see himself winning this but his excuses are ready made.

    A loss to brook is much more difficult for him

    Well you're from the land of the most world champions, meaning you have an Iron Chin and will easily take canelo the distance as Magic Matthew did before.
